Shimada Obi Matsuri (Obi Festival)
An Onna-dono, adorned with a magnificent Maru-obi sash on her sword, parades gracefully through the streets—. Every three years, the city of Shimada becomes its most vibrant during the 'Shimada Grand Festival (Obi Matsuri)'. This festival is held by Ooi Shrine to pray for the safety of the Oi River and for easy childbirth. Since the ritual form was established in 1695, it has been passed down for 330 years. Legend has it that the tradition began when women who married into the area would parade through the post town displaying their obi sashes to pray for safe delivery; over time, this evolved into a spectacular procession where Onna-dono carry large Maru-obi sashes. It is even counted as one of Japan's three most unique festivals. Souvenirs inspired by this heroic festival are the perfect memento of your trip to Shimada. Please take home a piece of this festive splendor.
