🤔On a side note, one of the reasons so much money was poured into the floats was as a means of social subversion.
The government strictly limited displays of wealth (such as clothing and housing) depending on social class, but such rules did not extend to the floats😉

🛞A PROCESSION OF PARADES🎋 The decorated floats and otherworldly festival music is not simply a form of entertainment for the gods. It's believed that malevolent spirits, the cause of disease, misfortune and other disasters, are drawn to the floats during the parade. #山鉾巡行
