Recruitment of "Red Huns", staff for reenactment of old-style whaling!

For the fishing town of Dori District, "old-style whaling" and "Japanese boat racing," which have been handed down from generation to generation, are valuable assets as traditional sea culture.
Taking advantage of this valuable asset, the "Whale Festival" is held for the entire community to pass on the traditional culture and enhance mutual solidarity among the residents of the Dori area, with the aim of revitalizing the Dori area. We are inviting applications from the public for the "Red Hun Squad," a reenactment staff made up of local fishermen and others! If you think you have what it takes to wear the red poo, please help us keep this tradition alive!
