This float features extensive use of vermilion lacquer and is richly decorated with intricate carvings.

The overall theme is the legend of the carp ascending the waterfall (Tōryūmon). On the first level, carvings on the four pillars depict carp climbing a waterfall, symbolizing perseverance and success.

「大梵鐘」羽黒大権現と金箔で銘されている。

梵鐘を羽黒神社の象徴としたものであるが、その音の響きには煩悩を消除するといわれている。梵鐘の梵は古代印度では神聖、清浄を意味する。
長井町に居住し鋳物師を営ん営た山本又五郎家の系図の冒頭には、「村上周防守代に細工場を与えられて繁昌していたとき、家の祭り(山本家の鋳物師祭り）に鐘を車に乗せて引いていたところ、(村上)周防守様及断絶に、冶工も衰え祭礼の引物も止む。後、上町の乗せ物となる。
祭礼に車に鐘を乗せて曳いたのは鋳物師の山本が初めてであるといい、その鐘はやがて上町のしゃぎりの乗せ物になった、という。
松平直矩の日記に見える「上町鉦引」の鐘は、かつて山本家に伝わった祭祀具の鐘であろうか。

Great Temple Bell

This bell bears an inscription in gold leaf reading “Haguro Daigongen.” It is regarded as a symbolic representation of Haguro Shrine. The sound of a temple bell is traditionally believed to dispel worldly desires, and the term bon (Brahma) signifies sacredness and purity in ancient India.

According to local tradition, the Yamamoto family—metal casters living in Nagai-machi—once prospered after being granted a workshop by the Murakami domain. During their family festival, they are said to have placed a bell on a cart and pulled it in procession. However, following the decline of their patron, their craft also diminished, and the use of the bell in festivals came to an end.

It is believed that the Yamamoto family was the first to place a bell on a festival cart, and that this bell was later adopted as the mounted feature of Kamimachi’s shagiri float. A reference in the diary of Matsudaira Naonori to the “Kamimachi bell procession” may refer to this very bell, which was once a ritual object of the Yamamoto family.

大紋は「都上」の字となっており、上町は小町と隣接する繁華な場所である。縦縞に横線が入った地模様で、裾柄は唐草のような図案となっている。
上町の法被は、以前は他町と同じように紺・黒色であったが、昭和40年代にオレンジ色に変更した。

The main crest features the characters “Miyako-jō” (都上). Kamimachi is located next to Komachi and has long been a lively, bustling area.

The base pattern consists of vertical stripes with horizontal lines, while the hem pattern features an arabesque-style design.

The happi coats of Kamimachi were originally in dark colors such as navy and black, similar to other districts, but were changed to orange in the 1970s.
