Every man women and child is involved and each and everyone has a role to play making an event a perfect harmony of collectiveness. |

| "The most out of this world feeling", when you are a part of these procession of lights and colors depicting great battles of time gone by when the great Guardians of the realms cross swords and breathed fire into skies! Kami (Japanese: 神?) are the spirits or phenomena that are worshiped in the religion of Shinto. They are elements in nature, animals, creationary forces in the universe, as well as spirits of the revered deceased. Many Kami are considered the ancient ancestors of entire clans, and some ancestors became Kami upon their death if they were able to embody the values and virtues of Kami in life. Traditionally, great or charismatic leaders like the Emperor could be kami.[1] |

| While Shinto has no founder, no overarching doctrine, and no religious texts, the Kojiki (the Ancient Chronicles of Japan), written in 712 CE, and the Nihonshoki (Chronicles of Japan), written in 720 CE, contain the earliest record of Japanese creation myths. The Kojiki also includes descriptions of various Kami.[12] -Wikipedia |

| Traditional KOKESHI dolls were born in the hot spring resorts of the Tohoku district (north-eastern part of Honshu, Japan) and have been handed down through the years There are many theories about their origin. One is that they are made as children's toys. Another is that they were made as objects of people's faith or worship; the actual reason is not clear., however it is clear that hey are only found in the Tohoku region. |
