matoba festival （9.20th (scheduled)）

A festival at Hakusan Shrine with banners fluttering along the seashore. Three groups of demons each perform a different Maehama-style dance. Children with red painted cheeks also participate, taking turns dancing with the adult ogres. In the morning, after the dedication of the shrine, they walk from house to house, beating drums to gate the houses. A large lion parades through the district as well.
