Unique and Eccentric Pantu Festival on Miyako Island
The Miyako Festival takes place over three days and features a tug-of-war on the second day. On the evening of the final day, traditional arts of Miyako Island are performed at the Art Festival in Kamamamine Park. Night stalls are open and many people visit the park. The picture depicts the attire used for "Pantu," a divine ritual. It is regularly smeared with lots of mud.
