The Kishiwada Danjiri Matsuri (Float Festival) is one of the best in Japan. The whole community takes part in the festival and teams are made up of people from the same Cho (neighbourhood). There aren't many festivals this big or well organised in Japan these days.
The floats are made of zelkova wood and are more than 4 tonnes. They are typically almost 4 metres high, around 4 metres long and about 2.5 metres wide. Their draw-rope is between 100 and 200 metres long and are pulled by as many as 500 to 1000 people.
