Tsunabi is an interesting little festival in Ibaraki Prefecture where they attach fireworks to puppets on ropes. They do a type of puppet play by pulling the ropes while the fireworks go off periodically. One of the plays was based on the famous fairytale Momotaro, the Peach Boy. He with 3 animal companions took on a castle of devils who had been terrorizing the land and defeated them.
Tsunabi has been listed as one of the Intangible Folk Cultural Assets of Japan.
