This year’s participation marks a significant milestone, celebrating 57 years of consistent engagement with this cherished festival.
The creation of a Nebuta float is a complex and collaborative endeavor, requiring countless hours of meticulous craftsmanship, artistic vision, and community effort. The Maruha Nichiro Nebuta Association comprises dedicated employees and volunteers who work tirelessly to design, construct, and animate their unique Nebuta, reflecting the company’s values and its proud heritage.
This year’s participation underscores Maruha Nichiro’s ongoing commitment to fostering community engagement and contributing to the cultural enrichment of the regions where it operates. The Aomori Nebuta Festival is not only a vibrant celebration but also a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving traditional arts and fostering a strong sense of community.
Maruha Nichiro Corporation looks forward to sharing the excitement and visual splendor of their Nebuta float with the residents of Aomori and the numerous visitors who gather to witness this iconic event.
