The Iwate no Oki Festival "Su Son Festival" which has a tradition of more than 1000 years is a spectacular event that runs water in a frozen river, shouts on fire and scrambles linen jewelry bags. The venue of Iwate PrefectureKuroishijiTo the article that actually went and interviewed until "Charge","Extremely cold weatherThe third stage following the huge bonfire will report on the appearance of "Hibiki no Urii" climbing up naked men climbing up and raising their breath.

Preparation for bonfires began in advance of "Shibaraki climbing" which starts before midnight. What is used is firewood cut in half of wood with a diameter of 30 cm or so, and it will be stacked in the shape of "well".


On the back of the worker is the letter "Ganbare Iwate". It is a festival that attracts attention only to extreme contents, but do not forget that it is an event with various wishes of people.


Heavy machinery is not used for work to assemble firewood, all work is human power.



It accumulates more and more wood and eventually it will be over 2 meters high.


It is finally ignited.


The crowd waiting for this time began to climb one after another.


Because of the harsh circumstance that the fire is already running in the lower part of the firewood at a height exceeding the height of an adult man, lending hands up.


I shout out the shout of "Jusso, Joyasa!" To pay for smoke but also evil


It seems that it is painful to stand for a long time due to the influence of heat and smoke on firewood.


The legs are protected by socks, but under fire there is considerable momentum and the fire is burning so it should be pretty hot.


The damage of smoke seems to be considerably hard.


After 10 minutes the fire will start and the melamella will burn up.


People who try to stay long on firewood because "purifying themselves with sparks" is an event.


When looking from afar, there is a strange sight that the figure stands in the smoke illuminated by a flaming flame.


If the fire gets too strong, throwing in the surrounding snow and weakening the momentum will climb the firewood.


Even just standing around when the flames burn up, such as being blown by the wind, makes it dangerous.


It is a burning festival this time after turning over from the funwater "Nuisance" in the extremely cold held earlier.


You can see the movie showing the state of the people who are raising their breath on firewood below.

After climbing up on the firewood, I will aim for the main hall while pulling out firewood with fire, swinging to the left and right.



When you arrive in front of Yakushido, you strike the firewood on the floor. It seems that it is believed that sparks scatter and "will it be a fire?", But it is believed to have meaning to pay for it by this.


In order to enter the temple, you have to be confronted with a person who partitions the festival called "Master". Those that are determined to be out of fire or lack of energy can not proceed from here.


When the permission of the mother got down, I went inside while repeating the action of hitting the floor.


Sparks are scattered around us.


By warming firewood slowly, sparks are blown by the wind, and you can reach the main hall without the fire disappearing.


If posture and shouting are not turned on, "mother" will be stepped on by firewood and being stopped.


This person is "Master".


The judgment was quite severe, and about half of people were repelled.


People who have been arrested by stepping on firewood are trying to pay their feet "desperately" with a desperate appearance.



You can check the situation of people going to the main hall with firewood in the following movie.

People with firewood are coming in one after another.


Scattering sparks.


A glance with "master".


People who go smoothly look like this. Shake the firewood while holding your waist, strike the ground in front of "Master" and enter the main hall.




After about an hour it will not be able to climb up when the flame gets around the firewood, so "Shiba lightsuki climb" is over.


The next event starting from 5 o'clock the next event is to look at the main event "Suganku Battle Competition".
