I visited Goshogawara City（五所川原市）, Aomori（青森）, where I enjoyed the Goshogawara Tachinebuta （五所川原たちねぶた）, "Goshogawara Nebuta Festival".
"Nebuta" refers to the float of a brave warrior-figure which is carried through the center of the city, while dancers wearing a unique type of costumes called haneto （ハネト）prance around in time with the chant Yattemare （ヤッテマレ） .
Nebuta floating ―
Mt. Shirakami into
the darkness
たちねぶた白神山は闇の中
Tachinebuta Shirakamisan wa yami no naka
Tachinebuta ―
mountain gods floating on
the dark street
たちねぶた山の神々練り歩く
Tachinebuta yama no kamigami neri aruku
― Hidenori Hiruta
