Also known as 'Inochi-naga,' this traditional festival celebrates the birth of a firstborn daughter with community-wide festivities at Sagata Fishing Port Square. The grandmother carries the dressed-up infant on her back and dances to the Hanya folk song while showing the child to onlookers. Family members and well-wishers take turns carrying the child in a back-to-back dance formation, with the celebration continuing late into the evening as more people join in.
