A traditional shrine festival where local community groups create and present dashi—elaborate straw effigies dressed in paper costumes—to pray for good harvests and protection from disease. These folk art pieces are designated as Okayama Prefecture's Important Intangible Cultural Properties. The festival culminates in a spectacular fireworks display with approximately 800 fireworks lighting up the summer night sky.
