Looking forward to a more ‘close-up and personal’ view of the floats …
Hikiyama Exhibition Hall的点评
点评：The 'Karatsu Kunchi' is an annual Autumn festival held at the Karatsu Shrine from November 2nd ~ November 4th, to give thanks for the harvest. The highlight of the festival would be the procession of the brightly coloured festival floats (Hikayama) in the shapes of huge fish, lions and dragons, through the streets of Karatsu. Between festivals, these magnificent floats are currently exhibited in a hall at ‘Arpino’, adjacent to the Karatsu JR Station. You should therefore make this your first port of call after arriving at Karatsu Station (and picking up a walking map at the Tourist Information Centre). Admission is only Y310, and you purchase a ticket from a vending machine at the entrance.
There are 14No. floats in total; the oldest dates back to 1819, with the others having been added progressively up to the most recent in 1876. The renditions on the float themselves are made with a technique called 'ikkanbari', which involves layers of lacquer over papier mache. Even so, the size and scale of the floats is impressive; the tallest (‘The Drunken Demon on the Warrior Helmet of Raikoh Minamoto’) measures a whopping 6.9m (22.6ft) tall [that’s the height of a two-storey building!], and two of the floats weigh in at a massive 3.0t each (‘The Phoenix Boat’ and ‘The Boat of Seven Treasures’. Imagine the sheer manpower that is required to drag these heavyweights [the equivalent of four small saloon cars!] through the streets of Karatsu.
Given their individual ages (between 150-yrs and 200-yrs old) and their delicate (papier mache) construction, it’s hardly surprising that these floats are designated as "important tangible cultural properties" and have to be viewed at a distance, from behind glass. You can get a better perspective from the viewing gallery on the upper floor, where there are photographs of the floats in action during the festival, as well as a video presentation and detailed notes on each float in several languages (including English).
If you really want to get to get a more ‘close-up and personal’ view of the floats, you will have to visit Karatsu between November 2nd ~ November 4th. I look forward to returning then!

翻译：“唐津宫日”是每年 11 月 2 日至 11 月 4 日在唐津神社举行的秋季节日，以感谢丰收。节日的亮点是色彩鲜艳的节日彩车（Hikayama），形状像巨大的鱼、狮子和龙，穿过唐津的街道。在节日之间，这些华丽的彩车目前在唐津 JR 站旁边的“Arpino”的一个大厅展出。因此，您抵达唐津站后（在旅游信息中心拿一份步行地图）应该将这里作为您的第一站。门票仅为 310 日元，您可以在入口处的自动售货机上购买门票。
共有 14 辆彩车；最古老的可追溯到 1819 年，其他的则是逐渐增加的，最新的一个是在 1876 年。彩车上的图案采用一种名为“ikkanbari”的技术制作，该技术涉及在纸浆上涂上多层漆。即便如此，彩车的大小和规模仍然令人印象深刻；最高的花车（“源来光盔上的醉鬼”）高达 6.9 米（22.6 英尺）[相当于两层楼的高度！]，两辆花车（“凤凰船”和“七宝船”）重达 3.0 吨。想象一下，需要多少人力才能将这些重物 [相当于四辆小型轿车！] 拖过唐津的街道。
鉴于它们各自的年龄（150 至 200 年之间）和精致的（纸浆）结构，这些花车被指定为“重要有形文化财产”并且必须在玻璃后面远距离观看也就不足为奇了。您可以从楼上的观景廊获得更好的视角，那里有节日期间花车活动的照片，以及视频演示和每个花车的详细说明有多种语言（包括英语）的花车介绍。
如果您真的想更“近距离和亲身”地观看花车，您必须在 11 月 2 日至 11 月 4 日期间访问唐津。我期待着那时再回来！
