The shime-daiko and odaiko drums are beaten separately, as if to control the float freely. The passionate performance by the players packed into a small space like the bottom of a ship plays an important role in coordinating and encouraging the pullers of the 20-ton floats. Chichibu Yatai-bayashi -Ukichi Takano and Chichibu Shachu The Chichibu Yomatsuri Festival (Night Festival) is held every year on December 2-3. Chichibu Yatai-bayashi is the musical accompaniment played by performers seated on the lower levels of the floats dragged in the festival. The beats of the shime-daiko as well as larger drums seem almost to control the floats themselves at will. Packed inside a space as small as the bottom of a ship, the energetic playing of the performers serves a vital role in encouraging and aligning the breathing of the people who pull the massive yatai, which weigh as much as twenty tons.
