🎧 “The Story of the Karatsu Kunchi Floats”｜A breathtaking autumn festival in Saga, Japan!

Registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, Karatsu Kunchi is an autumn festival that lights up the town of Karatsu in Saga Prefecture.
For three vibrant days, magnificent hikiyama floats parade through the streets in a dazzling display of craftsmanship and energy!

In this episode, Book Attendant Kana visits her “hometown roots” in Karatsu and introduces the book
“The Story of the Karatsu Kunchi Floats” by Masaaki Shindo (Yokohama Art Publishing).
Through this book, she explores the history and passion behind the 14 unique floats—each created by the townspeople—and the fascinating story of how Karatsu’s coal-mining prosperity gave birth to such grandeur.

From Fukuoka’s Iizuka to Saga’s Karatsu, two hometowns connected by culture and memory—
Take an autumn journey through words and sound, and feel the heartbeat of the festival.
