The Omanto Festival of Aichi Prefecture is a much-loved festival passed down since the Edo period. The highlight of this festival is held at a circular run where young men display their courage by jumping onto horses traveling at 40 km/hour. The locals of this region call this "Uma ni tomaru", which means to grab onto a horse. We will follow the stories of two youths who dedicate their lives to this tradition while introducing what fuels the young men to participate in this dangerous festival.
