The pedestal that carries the float and dolls has become a designated tangible cultural asset designated by Hachioji City. The float was built in 1906 as “Hachioji type single pillar doll float” that a pillar with a doll is built after. A doll of Emperor Oujin, which was made in Ansei 4 (1857), was on board, but it was destroyed in the Pacific War of 1945. Only the pedestal that carries the doll remains.
