Johana Hikiyama Matsuri Festival 城端曳山祭

Quand les dieux sont à la fête

 

C’est une fête des sens, de l’artisanat de haut niveau, la fête des dieux et celle des hommes.  Le festival  Hikiyama matsuri dans la petite ville de Johana, dans la préfecture de Toyama, offre chaque année pendant deux jours, les 4 et 5 mai, un spectacle unique et magique à ne pas manquer. Il est inscrit depuis 2002 au patrimoine culturel immatériel de l’UNESCO.

 

 

 

To welcome their guest as they should, the six chosen families have spent fortunes to set up a room facing the street so that any visitor can admire or pay homage to the guest god from outside. New tatamis, decorations, exhibition of precious objects, magnificent floral arrangements, surround the divinity.

The next day, they will be hoisted (each weighs about 100kg) on a float more than five meters high and about seven tons , beautifully crafted, to be paraded along the streets of the city.

On that day, they will then stop in front of all the houses whose owners have made a donation to the neighborhood committee to thank them with their songs and their pieces of music. The owners and their guests, meanwhile, are sometimes seated on tatami mats in a room of their house overlooking the street, and listen conscientiously to these songs from another age... Just like the day before when the families welcome and exhibit the statues deities in their homes and that visitors come to admire them, we remain amazed in front of such traditions and such fervor. The inhabitants of Johana offer us a real journey into the past .

In the evening, floats and iroi yatai are adorned with lanterns, the faces of the six deities are illuminated by their light and the participants redouble their energy to push or pull them for a final parade. The atmosphere is magical and unforgettable.
