About 80 people, including princesses and prince, madame, chief retainer and servants, parade along the maine street at the town a gorgeous samurai parade, unfolding a historical picture scroll.
A charming princess, guys throwing spears at high altitudes, guys jumping up and down with a funny movement, a thick beard drawn on his face and carrying a palanquin, and so on. They are both solemn and humorous.
