I photographed the Chichibu Night Festival, which is one of Japan's three major Hikiyama festivals and is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
This festival was held from December 2nd to 3rd, 2023.
One of Japan's three major Hikiyama festivals, along with Kyoto's Gion Festival and Hida Takayama's Takayama Festival.
"Chichibu Night Festival" is the annual festival of Chichibu Shrine, and boasts a history of over 300 years.
