Laborious Sticky Rice Ball Festival

Residents of Kinokawa, Wakayama Prefecture, gathered together on April 3,2016 in Kinokawa,Japan to hold the Omeshimorimono Matsuri festival for the first time in 11 years. The festival features a float installed with a 5-meter-tall globe that is decorated with 6,000 sticky rice balls. The local residents connected those rice balls together into a rope chain which they then wrapped around the globe of woven bamboo and straw. Local residents started to make the globe in January with 135 people preparing the rice balls. Because of the laborious preparations involved, the festival, which goes back to the Kamakura Period (1192-1333), is staged only infrequently.
