This Autumn Festival will be held from October 23rd until 25th in Igaueno in Mie Prefecture, the place where I was born. Incidentally, Igaueno is you know, known to a town of Iga Ryu ninja. There is an Iga-Ryu Ninja Museum too. This festival has a tradition of four hundred years and I heard this autumn festival gathers many tourists for three straight days every year.
The content of this festival is carrying a solemn portable shrine and marching like a picture scroll, several hundred ogres process by the solemn portable shrine, these ogres have different faces and while people are playing the beautiful festival music, the nine brilliant Danjiriparade Ueno castle town. It seems most of ogres’masks, curtains and metal fittings of Danjiri are specified for the cultural asset in Prefecture and City. They are what is called "Country important specification and formless folk cultural asset". Among all these contents, several hundred ogres' procession is the best. And "Tottering Ogres" is the best in particular. Children fear this "Tottering Ogres" more than any other ogres because this ogres act violently and turn to a full route by the tottering step, go near some small children who is picked up by parent and make the children cry.
