🔴 LIVE: Yamakasa Festival 2024 - Day 1- The Decorative Floats Unveiled! /博多祇園山笠2024 飾り山笠

In the first of our series of live streams for this year’s Yamakasa festival, we will take a closer look at some of the kazariyama - the decorative floats that play a central role in the event. Historically, these floats were paraded around the city, each vying to be the most stunning. They are crafted every year by skilled artisans who choose a specific theme for both the front and the back of the float, often centered around historical figures or themes considered to bring good luck. This year, 13 stunning Yamakasa floats will be displayed around the city. You can find a comprehensive guide to all the kazariyama floats on the Fukuoka Now website as well. https://www.fukuoka-now.com/en/yamaka...
