Kasedori上山市伝統民俗行事「加勢鳥」
The Kasedori Festival gets its name from the bird-shaped straw coats worn by the performers. This old and unique festival begins at the front gate of Kaminoyama Castle with prayers for safety, good fortune, and a good harvest. During the festival, attendees can join in the fun by spraying performers with water, which is believed to bring blessings for the year. The straws that fall out of the costumes are said to be lucky charms, and it is believed that if a girl wears one in her hair, she will have beautiful hair for the rest of her life.
