This is the second type of illustration drawn in a hand-drawn style.
The first type is here.
It signifies a fertility festival.
In Japan, local festivals are frequently held mainly in the autumn season. It is a festival to celebrate a good harvest, so it is held in the season when the rice harvest is over in regions where there were many rice farmers.
In areas where festivals are held, portable shrines are carried.
The Mikoshi is a portable shrine that is believed to carry the body of the deity or the spirit of the deity (goreidai) when the spirit of the deity travels from the head shrine to other shrine.
There are various forms of Mikoshi, including the barrel Mikoshi carried by sake barrels, the fan Mikoshi, and the Zuiki Mikoshi (a portable shrine made of taro or taro stems).
This is a scene of anthropomorphic domestic animals carrying a portable shrine.
In Japan, most people do not have a monotheistic view, but rather a polytheistic view, in which gods (or ghosts or evil spirits) are believed to dwell in all living things and even in objects that have been used for a long period of time.
In this illustration, chickens, pigs, and cows, in which so-called divine spirits dwell, bring the harvest (living things) from the fields and wish for a bountiful harvest.
These harvests are depicted as Chinese cabbage, carrots, leeks, burdocks, apples, potatoes, etc., and they are imitated as deities.
