| Description | The powerful sound of taiko, large Japanese drums, rips the silence. At this signal, three giant pine torches are lit, each one four meters in length and weighing 200 kilograms. Bare-skinned youth bravely carry the torches up the long steps of the shrine while onlookers light small hand-held torches from the flames. |
