🐟Koi-yama (鯉山) tells the legend of a carp that struggled up the Yellow River to become a dragon.
The float's yukata feature carp and a stylised '鯉山' based on similar created by the famed artist Takeuchi Seihō (竹内栖鳳 1864-1942).

🦅After it was destroyed in a fire 154 years ago, Taka-yama (鷹山) rejoined the festival as the 34th float in 2022. The float yukata was designed by a student from the Kyōto City University of Arts (京都市立芸術大学)👏
