In mid-September the Kishiwada Danjiri Festival sees 600,000 people visit the city to nervously look on as one of the country’s most dangerous festival performances takes place. Large, wooden carts are swung around street corners and driven at lightning speed through the city streets during this injury-inducing festival. The carts are elaborately carved and decorated and often see the head carpenter – as though any more risk is needed – dancing on top.
