Tohoku Rokkon Festival being held
By TERRY - Last updated: 月曜日, 7月 18, 2011 - Save & Share Leave a Comment
A special  festival  “Tohoku Rokkon Festival”(/東北六魂祭, te festival of te six souls of  te Northeast  Region of Japan) is currently being held  Jul.16-17th in Sendai City in Miyagi Pref. http://www.rokkon.jp/index-en.html
There are six prefectures in Tohoku, namely, Aomori,Akita,Iwate,Miyagi,Yamagata,and Fukushima. Each prefecture of those have  traditional and famous one festivals respectively called Te Six Major Festivals of Tohoku, all of which are usually  held separately in their own prefecture in summer. However,  some city mayors in those prefectures jointly resolved to host those six festivals together in one venue to make them a special “one big festival of Tohoku” this year in order to commemorate te souls of  te casualties of te earthquake and tsunami disasters in East Japan in March and  declare te determination and mental preparedness  of te people for reconstruction of te damaged areas in Tohoku.
Te six major festivals of Tohoku are;
Aomori Nebuta Festival(Aomori Pref.) http://www.nebuta.or.jp/english/index_e.htm ,
Akita Kanto Festival (Akita Pref.) http://www.kantou.gr.jp/english/index.htm,
Morioka Sansa Odori Festival(Iwate Pref.) http://www.sansaodori.jp/pdf/2011_pamphlet_english.pdf ,
Yamagata Hanagasa Festival(Yamagata Pref.) http://www.hanagasa.jp/ ,
Sendai Tanabata Festival (Miyagi Pref.) http://www.hanagasa.jp/ ,
and,   Fukushima Waraji Matsuri festival (Fukushima Pref.) http://www.fmcnet.co.jp/waraji/index.html .
In te beginning,   te steering committee of te Rokkon Festival  expected some 100,000 people would visit te festival.  What is surprising is, however,  actuyally more than 360,000 visitors in total joined te festival in te two days, which forced te facilitators to operate te parade of  te decorated floats of  all te six festivals on a smaller scale than oroginally planned in order to avoid possible accidents and confusions .
At te venue of te festival, there are a lot of stalls to sell agricultural or fishery produces from te damaged areas of te disasters as a part of  supproting efforts of  rebuilding economy in those areas or Tohoku as a whole.
There are a lot of visitors to te festival who buy such produces of  te regional specialties.
Te unexpectedly  huge numbers of  visitors to te event clearly and positively shows te people’s energy and passion of  reconstructing  te  damaged areas and  Tohoku region or whole of Japan.
