Watanagashi Festival: Difference between revisions

*The word ''wata'' in Watanagashi is typically read asusing 綿, which means "cotton". However, ''wata'' can also be read asusing 腸, which means "guts", "intestines", or more simply, "organs". By reading ''wata'' this way, the Watanagashi Festival is given the more gruesome translation of "organ-drifting festival".
