六角神輿 a hexagon portable shrine

珍しい六角形の神輿です。今日でお祭りも最終日。3日目で疲れも溜まってきています。500kgを超える神輿を担ぐのは大変です。一旦傾くと中々修正ができません。声援、怒号のなか、頑張って神社に戻ることができました。

This is a rare hexagonal omikoshi (=portable shrine).
It is the last day of the festival, the third day today. Their fatigue seems to increase. It is hard to carry the omikoshi which is more than 500kg weight on their shoulder. Once the omikoshi inclined, they cannot readily set the omikoshi straight. In encouragement and the roar, the omikoshi came back to the shrine with effort.
