In the spring festival of Handa City,  Aichi Prefecture, a total of 31 floats are pulled through 10 districts. Once every five years, the Handa Floats Festival sees the gathering of all 31 floats in one place, vastly entertaining its large crowd of onlookers. Following the people preparing for the 2017 fall festival,  we will take a look at the float culture passed down through the generations, and the people who devote their time and effort to preserving this tradition.
