"Kakkyo-yama Gionmaturi at kyoto Japan" On this float there is a figure of "kakkyo", a poor Chinese who lived in the third centhury. He was about to burry his son alive so his son's share of food could be given to Kakkyo's very old mother. When he was digging in the ground, he found a potful of gold coins which saved his son's life and mode his whole family rich. The two figures on this float are Kakkyo and his son who stand happily with a pot of gold coins between then.
