Suetomi's (末富) 'chigo-mamori' (稚児守) is inspired by the charm worn by the sacred page that rides the Naginata-hoko float (長刀鉾).
A cool kudzu sweet is tightly wrapped in bamboo leaves, with the phrase 'Somin-shōrai shison nari' attached.

Originally made by Nakamura-rō (中村楼), a teahouse in the grounds of Yasaka-jinja, 'chigo-mochi' (稚児餅) was served to the festival's pages (稚児 'chigo') when they came to pray at the shrine on July 13th. The sweet was thought to offer sacred protection.

Praise the Yasaka gods🙌
Sanjō Wakasa-ya's chigo-mochi is a skewered rice cake with a sweet and slightly salty miso filling. It's finished with a sparkling coat of 'koori mochi' (氷餅 - freeze dried mochi).

Such was its importance to the city, that it was 1 of only 18 types of wagashi that were permitted to be made through WWII rationing (even when the festival was cancelled).

Nowadays it is the only float upon which a 'sacred page' (稚児 'chigo') rides. Originally all hoko floats (鉾) would have had their own chigo.

The Naginata-hoko always leads the Gion Matsuri's first parade, the 'Saki Matsuri' (先祭り). As it is exempt from the lottery to determine the position of the floats, it was known in the past as 'Kuji-torazu' (くじ取らず 'Lot-drawing Not Necessary').

This is the only float that carries the Chigo (sacred child), who plays an important spiritual role in the festival. As a divine messenger, the Chigo does not walk on the ground during the festival.
