Summary edit

Description
English: Festival participants wrap a sacred white snake float around a bail of rice during the closing parade of the 53rd Annual Iwakuni Festival Sunday. The white snake, unique to Iwakuni, is considered by some to be a god bringing good fortune to money and business. The white snake wrapping around the bail of rice, representing good fortune and blessings, is symbolic of the snake holding on to the blessing for the people of Iwakuni.
