Kushida Shrine, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. Annually from July 1st to 15th. Designated Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property. This is a slideshow DVD photo album of the "Hakata Gion Yamakasa," which can be confidently stated, "There is no other naked festival of this scale known throughout Japan." The Hakata Gion Yamakasa, a summer festival of Kushida Shrine, designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property by the state in 1979 (Showa 54), runs from July 1st to 15th. During this time, 14 elaborately decorated kazari yamakasa (decorative floats) are displayed throughout Fukuoka City. The festival begins with Oshioitori (purification ritual) at Hakozaki Beach on the 1st, where the designated town and officials of the seven nagare (districts) of the kaki yamakasa (carrying floats) purify themselves. It then progresses with Nagare-kaki (district carrying) on the 10th, Asayama (morning float carrying) and Taryu-kaki (other district carrying) on the 11th, Oiyama-narashi (practice run) on the 12th, Shudan Yamamise (group float viewing) on the 13th, and Nagare-kaki on the 14th, gradually building excitement, culminating in the Kushida-iri (entering Kushida Shrine) time race and Oiyama (main race) on the 15th.
