Kids on Float

The large ornate floats, or yatai, date back to the 17th century, and are decorated with intricate carvings of gilded wood and detailed metal-work. Detailed carving, lacquering and beautiful decorative metal-works is found not only on the outside of the floats, but inside as well, under the roof and behind the panels, where the work is amazingly detailed. The floats are also gorgeously decorated with embroidered drapery.
