In addition to its characteristic turtle-shaped cockpit and LED monitor, which will surely liven up the event, the float has an inclusive design indicating that everyone can participate in the event.
The parade will feature WAO!DANCE, an updated version of traditional Japanese “ondo” dancing. The dancing show choreographed by dancer FISHBOY will be performed on stage to the piece of music composed by artist Nariaki Obukuro, blending traditional Japanese and futuristic elements.

IYASAKA PROJECT
The Iyasaka Project by Miyamoto Unosuke Shoten aims to cultivate traditional Japanese performing arts alongside artists who share traditional instrument makers’ goals. In ancient Japan, festivals and performing arts were held to pray for good harvests and peace within the community. The mystique of traditional Japanese performing arts arises from the spirituality embedded in the arts, transcending mere expressions. The Iyasaka Project proudly showcases Japanese culture to the world by conveying Japanese values inherent in performing arts through concerts, workshops, and other events.
