Kokkodesho: The Treasure Ship Performance of Nagasaki (2021x3)

Air date: Feb 20, 2021

Kokkodesho is a performance that has long been featured at the Nagasaki Kunchi Festival. 40 men run through town over the span of 3 days, carrying and tossing a wooden float that weighs over a ton. As the dynamic performance demands perfect coordination, explosive physical power, and impregnable mental strength, the carriers just could not do it without the passionate support of the whole town.
