A smaller scale celebration similar to nearby Kanazawa's Hakumangoku Matsuri, this festival celebrates the traditions and history of the former Daishoji ruling family. The name Jumangoku refers to rice production. Juman means "100,000", and the koku is a measurement of rice production. During this festival an extremely large piece of Kutani pottery is paraded through town.
