高岡御車山(みくるまやま)は、豊臣秀吉が後陽成天皇を聚楽第に迎え奉る時に使用した御所車を、加賀藩祖前田利家公が秀吉より拝領し、高岡開町の祖・二代前田利長公が高岡町民に与えたことがはじまりとされています。
御車山は御所車形式に鉾を立てた特殊なもので、高岡町民の心意気と財力に支えられ、格式を保ち高岡の金工、漆工等の優れた工芸技術の装飾が施された日本でも屈指の華やかな山車。7基の御車山が巡行する華麗さは圧巻です。高岡御車山祭は、重要有形・無形民俗文化財の両指定を受ける国内5件のうちのひとつ。見どころは、御車山の後輪を押さえて、前輪を持ち上げくるりと回る方向転換。鳴らされる拍子木とともに、拍手が巻き起こります。
The mikurumayama floats of Takaoka, used when Toyotomi Hideyoshi
received Emperor Go-Yozei at the palace of Jurakudai, were bestowed byHideyoshi on Maeda Toshiie, the first lord of Kaga, and given by Maeda
Toshinaga, second lord of Kaga and founder of Takaoka, to the townspeopleof Takaoka, it is said.
The mikurumayama floats are each in the style of an ox-drawn court
carriage and feature a vertical hoko (pole). They are maintained through thespirit and funding of Takaoka's townspeople with their status maintained
through adornment using Takaoka's finest artisanal skills in metalworking,lacqering, and other crafts, making them among the most lavish in Japan.
The gaudiness of seven court carriages in procession is the best part of thefestival. The Takaoka Mikurumayama Festival is only one of five examplesof national designation both as an Important Tangible Folk-cultural Property
and as an Important Intangible Folk-cultural Property. A highlight of theevent is when the floats are turned by pushing at the rear wheels while
lifting the front wheels. This is accompanied by handclaps and woodenclappers.
