Themes for the kazariyama decorative floats of the Hakata Gion Yamakasa 2021 festival have been announced. While the summer festival has postponed most of its activities and traditions to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, twelve stunning floats created by Hakata doll craftsmen will cheer up passerby. Kazariyama floats will be on display at Kushida Shrine, Canal City Hakata, Shintencho arcade, and nine other locations in Fukuoka City from July 1. Source: Mainichi / Hakata Gion Yamakasa
