In Japanese festivals (matsuri), you will often see two impressive types of portable structures: the mikoshi (神輿) and the dashi (山車). Though both are paraded through the streets, they have different purposes and appearances.
2:00 A mikoshi is a portable Shinto shrine believed to temporarily house a deity during the festival. It is usually made of lacquered wood, decorated with gold ornaments, and carried on wooden poles by teams of bearers. As they shout rhythmic chants, the bearers often shake or bounce the mikoshi to “energize” the deity and bless the surrounding area.
8:50 A dashi, on the other hand, is a large, wheeled festival float. Unlike the sacred mikoshi, it is primarily for display and entertainment, often decorated with elaborate carvings, tapestries, and sometimes life-size dolls. Many dashi feature live music with drums (taiko), flutes, and singers. They are pulled through the streets, sometimes in long processions.
While the mikoshi represents a divine presence, the dashi showcases local craftsmanship and community pride. Both, however, bring people together and create the lively, colorful atmosphere that makes Japanese festivals so memorable.
