*''Japanese'': キリコ祭り、切籠祭 ''(kiriko matsuri)''

The Kiriko festival is a festival held annually in many parts of the [[Noto peninsula]] and surrounding areas. The earliest ''kiriko'' festivals are held each year in the 7th month of the [[Japanese calendar|lunar calendar]] in Ushitsu village; other localities hold the festival later in the 7th to 9th months.

The key features of the festival are the ''kiriko'', large wooden lanterns constructed to accompany ''[[mikoshi]]'' in parade.
