Goshogawara Tachineputa

Come on! A giant Nebuta appears!

Although Goshogawara Tachineputa are both Nebuta, the biggest difference between them and Aomori Nebuta is their height.
Tachineputa are over 20 meters tall.
Huge floats, the equivalent in height to a seven-story building, are pulled through the city to chants of "Yattemare, yattemare!"
These floats, called Tachineputa, were used in the summer as a form of purification ritual.
It is said that the original form of this craft was the making of lanterns, which eventually came to be called "assembled dolls."
From the Meiji period through to the Taisho period, their size grew ever larger, and wealthy merchants and communities in the city competed to build them.
