The origin of the Kumagaya Fan Festival begins with joint holding of the festival by the townspeople of Kumagaya in 1750. Around this time the shrine was excavating the festival but unfortunately it was destroyed and the festival was temporarily stopped. However, the townspeople reconstructed by combining forces, festivals began to take place again in 1830. And then at the time the food shop etc distributed red rice etc. “Plutonium red bean behavior of Kumagaya avoiding plague” was part of the festival. However, when it became later, a restaurant appointed “shibu fans” on behalf of red rice appeared, other stores also established a fan, so that it became known as Kumagaya Fan Festival.

Well, the shrine mikoshi is firstly held at the Yasaka Shrine at the spirit festival and the mikoshi festival where the Spirit transitions, and then the delivery to each town begins. Later the floats and stalls will be on the way and “banging” and “cruise festival” will start.

Hitting is not to physically hit the floats, but to make the sounds of festival music accompany each other. So in a batting scene you can see a competition of several festival hayashi. Batting between the floats is done even after sunset, but the floats that were lit up with warm orange lights are beautiful, and visitors will be immersed in the emotion rich feeling different from daytime.
