A junior high school student in Aomori Prefecture, northeastern Japan, has been busy painting a large float that will parade through the city of Hirosaki in a famed Neputa festival to be held in early August.
                
The Hirosaki Neputa Festival is one of Japan&#039;s major summer festivals. Fan-shaped floats with pictures depicting historical figures, such as warriors and beauties, parade the streets, accompanied by music played on traditional Japanese instruments.
                
First-year junior high school student, Kikuchi Kotaro, is a member of one of the citizen groups taking part in the festival. Kikuchi has been tapped to design the illustration that adorns his group&#039;s float.
                
He has been receiving guidance from his mentor, Neputa master Yamaya Juka, since June. On Sunday, he was drawing in a workplace in Aomori City.
                
Kikuchi&#039;s painting is based on China&#039;s Three Kingdoms period. He has sketched warriors fighting in a war on fan-shaped Japanese washi paper, measuring 2.5 meters long and 3.5 meters wide.
                
He was coloring with red and yellow colorants the warriors&#039; armor and limbs with utmost care, following his mentor&#039;s instructions.
                
Kikuchi said he is happy, as it is his dream to come out with a float for the festival. He added that he hopes to create a float that will leave an impression on spectators.
