An ornamental festival float from Yokohama Motomachi. This style of float, which is very old, was called Ippon-bashira Mando-gata ( one pole square style ). A Takeshiuchino-sukune doll is placed on top of the pole in the centre. The base of the float sits on two wheels and is being pulled by an ox.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number69‐53‐0]
