- In April, when spring is in full bloom. In the town of Utsumi, splendid festivals distinctive to each district are held all at once.
The Okabe District Festival is a Shinmei-sha Shrine Festival. In the end of the Edo period, Nakano Jinemon Shigetomi, a Tatekawa-ryu wood carver, was involved in the production of the float that is pulled around today. This well-balanced Chita style float is made of uncolored natural wood. The highlight of the Karakuri puppet show performed by a small Karako doll and a large Karako doll that turns the table, is the performance of doing a handstand while beating the drum.
