Nebuta Museum WA RASSE in Aomori hosts an Easy Nebuta Study lecture on 29 November 2026, giving visitors a maker-led explanation of the floats displayed inside the museum. The venue presents the history and craft of the Aomori Nebuta Festival throughout the year.
An artist explains the floats on 29 November
The session is led by Shigeki Tezuka, the maker of a large Nebuta currently exhibited at the museum. The organiser’s notice describes the programme as an explanation of a displayed float by its creator, with the lecture taking place in Exchange Study Room 1.
The programme runs from 1.45pm to 2.45pm on 29 November 2026, with the room opening at 1.15pm. The notice says that numbered tickets will be distributed from 12.45pm and lists a capacity of 60 people. Its November programme notice places the event at Nebuta Museum WA RASSE in Aomori.
The date falls within the museum’s autumn programme rather than the city’s main summer parade. That timing lets visitors examine the floats in a museum setting while hearing directly about the work behind one of the exhibited designs.
Four full-sized floats connect the lecture with Aomori tradition
Nebuta Museum WA RASSE displays four full-sized floats that took part in the August festival. The museum also presents Nebuta faces, footage of parade floats and information about how techniques and styles have changed over time.
The operator describes a Haneto experience alongside the displays, allowing visitors to try festival dancing to hayashi music. It also provides hands-on contact with Nebuta materials, while the main floats remain objects to be viewed rather than handled. These features make the 29 November lecture part of a wider presentation of making, movement and performance.
The museum’s official English information confirms the four full-sized floats and identifies the building as a facility devoted to the history and appeal of the Aomori Nebuta Festival. It also records the venue’s location in Yasukata and its official visitor information.
