Himeji, Oct 16 (Information On Japan) –
The ‘Nada Kenka Competition,’ famend for its fierce clashes between moveable shrines, passed off in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, attracting giant crowds of spectators.
This autumn pageant, held yearly at Matsubara Hachiman Shrine in Shirahama, Himeji, is understood for its wild and intense nature, which has earned it the nickname ‘Nada Kenka Competition.’
On October fifteenth, the principle occasion of the pageant, the ‘Mikoshi Conflict,’ was held, the place three moveable shrines violently collided with each other.
The extra a shrine is broken, the extra it’s believed to be in step with the need of the gods. Males wearing conventional mawashi loincloths shouted battle cries as they boldly smashed the shrines collectively.
Every time a shrine toppled or shattered with a loud crash, the group erupted.
