Danjiri is a portable shrine in the form of a stroller that can weigh more than 3,000 kg is designed to be paraded through the streets of a town or city at any time the festival takes place. Dashi is usually made of wood and the manufacturing process is complex, carved with images of dragons, lions shisa and Shinto leaders and other figures of authority, fortune, and prosperity. People usually participate tugging at the four-wheeled carriage. Dashi is decorated with lanterns, flags, decorative fabrics and kanji characters believed that the essence or spirit of the local deity of the temple would be out of place to stay in danjiri that during the festival run will bring a blessing of the gods in the city. Team members wore uniform tops happi kimono, write and create their own choreography of the song is a dance routine they were doing during the festival to entertain the audience.
Mikoshi is decorated with magnificent litter like a yagura, and is believed to be climbed by the object of worship, or the spirit of the Shinto shrine in Japan. In organizing matsuri, rollicking mikoshi carried on the shoulders by the followers, and brought parade around the city.
Mikoshi used to carry the object of veneration or spirit of the funeral permanent to temporary resting place (otabisho) during matsuri, with a view to appease a large mereka. Part of mikoshi is made from black lacquered wood. The component consists of a pair of wood bearers, body parts, and roof. Two wooden rods mounted parallel bearers at the bottom also serves as a buffer body. The shape of the body can be square, hexagonal or octagonal. At the peak of the roof is usually mounted ornate sculptures of birds hoo.
Although usually carried mikoshi carried marched with a crowd, some people mikoshi withdrawn after it was raised to the top of the stroller or wagon. Depending on the characteristics of matsuri, mikoshi parade can also be followed by a motorcade of dashi, hoko, or danjiri. Although once mikoshi is only intended to be carried by the people of the so-called ujiko temples, Shinto shrines in the cities also allow visitors to participate paraded mikoshi matsuri.
