Kasedori is a traditional Kaminoyama folk event that has been handed down since the early Edo period. It is a festival in which celebratory water is poured from a pail on young men parading in town while wearing straw costumes to pray for a bountiful harvest and prosperous business. Why don’t you take a look and try pouring water vigorously?
