Taken on the afternoon of the third day of Akita's famous Kantō Festival, this footage is from a competition in Senshū-kōen in the city center. A local team shows off their skills in balancing the hefty kantō poles, from a single hand to the head to the shoulder to the lower back. With each successive handoff, another pole segment is added to the bottom, so that the unwieldly kantō gets gradually taller and taller.
