The Onbashira festival is has continued, uninterrupted, for 1200 years. The festival is held once every six years,in the years of the Chinese zodiac of the Monkey and the Tiger.  Locals say "once in seven years," because of the traditional Japanese custom of including the current year when counting a length of time.
