Kyokoma Gion Yamahoko Houka Hoko Small / no.2741

Kyoto Festival Gion Festival Floats

This is a "Kyoto top" Hoko made by wrapping and layering cotton string (bundles of dyed cotton thread).

The decoration at the top of the Houka Hoko consists of three circles which are said to be in the shape of a sandbar, representing the sun, moon and stars - three rays illuminating the world below - and the sticks pointing diagonally downward on both sides represent light.

This is the small size

If you remove the head, it will spin.
