No.5 Competition between woodworking and Hayashi

　Nine groups participating in the Kanazawa Ward Kikari Hayashi Liaison Council held presentations on woodworking, music, lion dance, and public hall Matoi.
　The traditional Japanese culture of woodworking and festival music has been deeply reflected in the local culture of Kanazawa Ward, and many people have passed down over many years. At the time of the influence of COVID-19 infection, there were difficulties such as securing training places and reducing opportunities for presentations, but the stage after overcoming it was very exciting for all groups.
　The summer of the festival is finally coming. I hope you will continue to pass it on to future generations as an important culture and tradition of Kanazawa Ward. Thank you very much to the council and the preservation society.
