1,000 samurai warriors re-enact the funeral rites of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the great military leader and unifier of Japan who became the first shogun in 1603. Three portable shrines are carried from the ornate main shrine to the sacred place among the cedars called Otabisho. They are escorted by men in the armour of the period. In addition to the main event, women perform the Yaotome maiden dance and the dance of Azumaasobi and there is a demonstration of archery on horseback (yabusame). This is the full-blooded version of the Autumn Festival, and it is attended by descendants of the shogun.
