[Hoshino Resort Aomoriya] “Neburi Nagashi”, the origin of the Nebuta Festival, is recreated to create a fantastic bathing experience.
2022.11.04
Hoshino Resort Aomoriya will hold the spectacular snow viewing open-air “Neburi Nagashi Lantern” at the open-air bath “Ukiyu” from December 1, 2022 to April 2, 2023, which recreates the “Neburi Nagashi”, the origin of the Aomori Nebuta Festival.
Reproduction of Neburi Nagashi, the origin of the Aomori Nebuta Festival, in an open-air bath
The “Lantern Floating Ceremony” is said to be the origin of the Aomori Nebuta Festival, called “Neburi Nagashi” in the Tohoku region, which is an event to drive away the sleeping spirits and to discharge impurities into the river or the sea. Aomoriya recreates this event by floating small lanterns with Nebuta and wishes written by guests on them in the pond around the floating bath.
New float "Raijin" appears
This winter, the 11th year of the festival, a new float, “Raijin” will make its debut. 2012 marks the first year of this project, and since then, “Shoki”, who protects people from plague and evil spirits, and “Bishamonten”, who brings wisdom and good fortune, have appeared. This winter, the “God of Thunder,” who presides over water and thunder, will be on hand to dispel the recent disasters and evil spirits and to wish for further development.
Producer: Hiroo Takenami, Nebuta artist
Mr. Takenami is a Nebuta artist who has received the “Best Creator Award,” the highest award given to the creator of the Nebuta Festival in Aomori, and is the creator of the Nebuta used in the Neburi Nagashi lanterns. He has been involved in the development of this project from the beginning, and together with the Aomoriya staff, has been working through trial and error to find a waterproofing process to keep the lanterns on display outdoors, and a method to prevent snow and ice from accumulating.
The sound of the flute evokes the heat and fragility of Aomori's summer festivals.
Aomori has long winters and short hot summers, so people burn energy for festivals in the short summer. Aomori’s summer festivals are short, and because of this shortness, they have a lot of enthusiasm and a sense of transience. Matsuri-bayashi (festival music) is another essential element of festivals. For a limited time only, visitors can bathe in the hot spring while listening to the sound of the flute that plays the musical accompaniment that is also played at the actual Aomori Nebuta Festival, while thinking about the festival that has been passed down from generation to generation.
