Kaizu Rikishi Matsuri Festival 海津力士まつり
Held annually by Kaizuten Jinja Shrine in Takashima, Shiga Prefecture, Japan on April 29, this local festival features men dressed as sumo wrestlers (rikishi) carrying two mikoshi portable shrines around their respective neighborhoods. They wear kesho mawashi ceremonial aprons. They jostle the mikoshi during the day, and then at night they go to the shrine for the festival climax with lit torches.
