Some of these majestic floats used during the fall festival are displayed year-round. Kanuma is also famous for kumiko geometrical latticework used in furnishings. Also, our correspondent brings to us a jazz event held in Takatsuki, Osaka. Over 800 musicians perform over 2 days in early May at over venues throughout the city.
