Shimbashi-cho will serve as Ichibancho for the dedication ceremony at Suwa Shrine the day before the Nagasaki Kunchi festival. Shimbashi-cho has exchanged betrothal gifts with the Nagasaki Kenban, and six geisha will be performing at the Kunchi festival as members of the town. Chachamaru will play the role of Banzai, and Momoha will play the role of Saizō. Shimbashi-cho's main dance, "Holland Banzai," is performed by a veteran and two new geisha, performing a graceful and light-hearted dance. Despite facing various challenges, such as rising prices and changes in the town, they are proud of being the original head of the family and are working to pass on the tradition in a new form so that they can pass the baton to the next generation.
