"Taikoyama Kokkodesho" is one of the most popular autumn events in Nagasaki City, "Nagasaki Kunchi". Forty strong men throw over 1ton of “Taikoyama” and catch it with hands. We closely interviewed the challenges of the men who carry.

It is impressed by the feelings of the townspeople in their hometown and the way the area became one through the festival and the bonds became stronger. The video of the festival is a breathtaking beauty.
