Bunsei Bunsei-style Emakiyuki Procession

Event Overview

Around 150 people dressed as samurai, ronin, and komusu monks around a bride procession on a Kiso horse, recreate the customs of Tsuma-go-juku during the late Edo period of culture and the Bunsei period (1804-30), and mingled along Nakasendo. The event was started in honor of the beginning of the preservation business of Tsumago-juku in 1968, and it is as if it had slipped back in time to the Edo period against the backdrop of Tsumago's house.
