A mikoshi is a sacred palanquin in which a kami (Shinto deity or spirit) rides at the time of a Shinto festival. This palanquin is shaped like a miniature Shinto shrine building, with a carving of a phoenix or an onion-shaped dome on the top of its roof. A divine mirror, the embodiment of the kami, is placed inside the main section of the mikoshi, which is attached to two long poles, one on each side. Scores of parishioners get a shoulder under one of the poles and combine to carry the mikoshi through the streets of the local area, parading with bounce and vigor. 意訳:みこしは神の乗り物で,祭りの際には神はこれに乗る.小さな神社の形をし,屋根の中央には鳳凰または葱花そうかがあしらわれている.内部には神の依代よりしろとなる鏡が安置されている.みこしには2本の担ぎ棒が取り付けられていて,大勢の氏子で担ぎ,威勢よく町内を練り歩く
