堺のてんじんさん　菅原神社　八朔祭　北戸川　海渡濱　ふとん太鼓　2026.09.12. "Sugawara Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the deity of learning and scholarship." "Futon Daiko is a traditional Japanese festival float featuring five large, red cushions stacked on top." "It weighs up to 3 tons. A large group of about 50 to 70 people carry it on their shoulders and parade through the streets." "Inside the float, a drum is nested away, beaten by children dressed in special, traditional costumes. As the deep, heavy thuds of the drum echo, the carriers push forward in perfect sync.""It is believed that the gods descend from the heavens to sit upon the stacked cushions. At that very moment, a magnificent, divine harmony is born!"
