This object was created for the Yamayado of the Johana Hikiyama Festival. Within this festival, where people welcome the deity and pray for the prosperity of the town, good fortune, and protection from misfortune, this form was conceived to stand beside the sacred object as a quiet expression of human prayer toward the divine. Rising from a low posture that touches the earth, and joining its palms as if reaching toward the heavens, it symbolizes the thoughts of people who, while holding uncertainty within themselves, still seek to remain strong.

城端曳山まつりの山宿に設置するオブジェです。 神様を迎え、街の繁栄と招福除災を祈る祭りの中で、御神体と共にあるこのかたちに、人が神に向かう静かな祈りを込めました。 地に触れる低い姿勢から、天へ向かって掌を合わせるように、不安を抱えながらも強くあろうとする人々の思いを象徴しています。
