With less than a month before the "Aomori Nebuta Festival," which is being prepared for the first time in three years, the production of the festival's feature, the large Nebuta, has come to a close.
The "Aomori Nebuta Festival", which colors the summer of Aomori, was canceled for the second consecutive year due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but this year, as usual, the venue will be in the center of Aomori City from August 2nd to 7th. Preparations are underway for the event, and 17 groups are planning to operate Nebuta.
With less than a month until the first day of the festival, the large Nebuta, which was created by Nebuta master Ryuho Tateda and took three years to conceive with the theme of "Fujin Raijin," is one of the most important processes on this day. A finishing work called "face drawing" was carried out.
Mr. Tateda carefully wrote his eyes on the nebuta of the dragon painted in light blue so as to breathe his soul.
Mr. Tateda said, "It's been two years since I endured and endured, so I'm looking forward to showing off a new Nebuta. The Nebuta Festival will be established with" Hanet "and musicians, so the festival will be revived for the first time in three years. I think it will be a special summer to do. "
The "Aomori Nebuta Festival" is scheduled to be held for 6 days from the 2nd to the 7th of next month after taking thorough infection control measures for the new corona.
