Yagami Shrine
〒851-0133 長崎県長崎市矢上町１４−１
At Yagami Shrine, the Kokkodesho is dedicated once every four years under a rotation system. Thirty-six young men carry the platform, performing a vigorous communal display involving powerful drumbeats and chants, as they bounce, spin, and toss the structure high into the sky.
History
The Kokkodesho originated in Danjiri, Sakai, Southern Osaka, and is said to have been developed into the current Nagasaki style by mixing elements such as the Yagura drum and Futon. The Kokkodesho in Yagami Town is said to have begun its dedication in 1634 CE (Kan'ei 11) during the Yagami Shrine Festival, and has since been dedicated for rain prayers and the Yagami Kunchi festival.
