The history of NeputaThe origin of it has two theories.
(ⅰ) In old time, Tsugaru people floated lanterns in the rivers and wished not have illness and disaster at Japanese Tanabata festival (star festival) .
(ⅱ) The shogun of Heian period Sakanoueno Tamuramaro made a big doll to entice enemies away.

Generally accepted opinion
In the mid-Edo period, samurai class children made big floats and paraded them through the neighborhood of their town.
When they met an other float, they threw rocks to it. The origin of Neputa is “fight” with other town.

The difference between “Neputa” and “Nebuta”
Mainly, “Neputa” is a fan-type float. “Nebuta” is a doll type float. The former comes Hirosaki region, the other comes Aomori region.
Not only this float difference, but also the rhythm of the music, costume and mood are different. However, the areas between these region use both names without distinguishing.

The appeal of the NeputaDynamic “Neputa-e” and artistic “Okuri-e”
Every Neputa have Neputa-e at the face of the Neputa. Neputa painters draw the pictures of massive warriors. In contrast, the back of it has the Okuri-e. It is paints beautiful Japanese or Chinese woman in past age.
You will feel the powerfulness of the Neputa-e with the rhythm of the drums and flute. After Neputa is gone, you can see the Okuri-e, and feel the good sadness or emptiness. This is the nice flavor of the Neputa festibal.
