Imari Ton-Ten-Ton Festival

📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article

The Imari Ton-Ten-Ton Festival is a fighting festival held every year in the city of Imari, Saga Prefecture, Japan. Beginning at the Imari Shrine, the festival is well known as one of the three great fighting festivals of Japan. The festival has been held since 1829. Two shrines, Aramikoshi and Danjiri, meet at various points throughout central Imari. They are smashed together simultaneously until one shrine falls back. This is done to the sound of a beating drum within the shrine Danjiri, the sound of which gives Ton Ten Ton its name.
