The Awa Deko Sanbaso Mawashi wooden doll performance is a form of door-to-door blessing that has established itself as a New Year’s rite since the feudal era. A Sanbaso Mawashi entertainer puts wooden puppets into two wooden boxes and balances them on his shoulders with a pole while praying for the continued successful production of high-quality sukumo Ai made in Awa’s Ai facilities.
