📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
Kakunodate-matsuri (角館祭り) is a Japanese festival celebrated from 7 to 9 September in Kakunodate, Akita. Its rites centre on Shinmei-sha shrine. As well as a procession and traditional dances, it is celebrated for the oyamabayashi in which the floats collide into each other. It has a 350-year history, and in 1991 was designated an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.
