Ono Festival大野祭り
The festival has roots in the 1700s, towards the end of the Edo period and is a two-day event, with each day being a separate festival. On the first day, the Yoshingaku festival features floats and the Makiwara boat adorned with lanterns. The Hongaku Festival on the second day focuses on the dedication of Karakuri puppets and the change in direction of the floats.
The Makiwara Ship has been part of the festival since 1857, but was damaged by the Ise Bay typhoon in 1959 and was out of commission. However, with the efforts of the local community, it was successfully revived in 1988 using parts of the original ship and lanterns that could be salvaged. The core pillar has 12 red lanterns symbolizing the 12 months of the year and 365 lanterns around the pedestal symbolizing the number of days arranged in a hemisphere shape. The shape of the ship is similar to the three-car Nagoya type, with a front shelf.
