Summary
Hakata Bon-niwaka Contest
People join the Hitokuchi Niwaka Contest looking for a few laughs to get them through the lingering heat of August. Hakata niwaka is a folk narrative art. A narrator with a funny mask called Niwaka satirizes the problems of society and finishes the narration with a good punch line in Hakata dialect. Pretty Niwaka by elementary school kids and Niwaka in Call-and-Response style give people a big laugh and make them forget the heat of summer.
