The "Nagasaki Kunchi" is a festival that holds a 380-year history. Dragons coil and children dance to the many performances, giving life and color to the festival stage. One such performance is the dynamic and flamboyant "Dozamachi Nanbansen". It is a reenactment of the heyday of ocean exploration when Spanish and Portuguese visitors brought many items unknown to Japan on large ships the Japanese called "Nanbansen". In this episode, we will take a look at Nagasaki Prefecture's unique culture and tradition, while also following the people of "Dozamachi" and the emotions they carry on their beloved ship.
