Bright moments of Domannaka Matsuri.

There are two rules to participate in Nippon Domannaka Matsuri. One is that teams have to use their local folk songs which can be arranged for any categories of music like rock, samba etc. and to create their own choreography. The other is to use naruko (traditional wooden musical instruments in Kochi, Kochi Pref., Shikoku Island, similar to castanets) when they dance.
Domatsuri is held at more then 20 locations around Hisaya Oo-dori Koen (Hisaya Oo-dori Park) in Nagoya. More then 200 teams (50-150 people each) participate in this event.
