The focus is on float-festivals in Aichi prefecture in central Japan; but wider perspectives, international as well as national, also come into play.  \u003cbr\u003eFloat-festivals date back several centuries. A good deal of modernization has taken place from the mid-twentieth century onwards, but historical roots and connections are still discernible, and these distinctive festivals and their music remain of great significance to many communities in modern Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47925105623198,"sku":"ING-9789198557862","price":56.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9789198557862.jpg?v=1782959662","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9789198557862","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
