Gion Float Festival (Kyoto Japan)

Toro Yama

"Toro" means mantis and there literally is a figure of a mantis on the float's roof, and its humorous movements are really loved by children. The float is based on a Chinese proverb, "Hatchets of a mantis", meaning a weak man standing up against a powerful enemy. This float rejoined the procession in 1979 after an absence of 100 years.
