Oneri - Oneri

Japanese: お練り - おねり

This refers to festival processions centered around portable shrines and Bodhisattva processions at Buddhist ceremonies. It is also called nerimono or nerimono. Festival processions are accompanied by elegant floats, stalls, floats, umbrella poles, and danjiri floats, as well as a group of costumed people, all of which compete for their design. In the late Edo period, the parades by Gion geisha who participated in the portable shrine washing at the Gion Festival in Kyoto were so popular that they were ranked by picture, and the parades by Kamishichiken geisha at the Kitano Tenmangu Shrine ritual were also famous. In Edo, the designs of the floats and puppets exhibited at the Sanno Festival and Kanda Festival were immediately danced on the Kabuki stage, and each town competed for its own designs, such as processions of costumed dancers and elegant puppets, and many rankings were left behind.

Japanese:

神輿（みこし）などを中心とした祭礼行列や，仏事における菩薩の行道（ぎようどう）をいう。練物，邌物（ねりもの）などとも称す。祭礼行列には意匠を競った風流（ふりゆう）の山車（だし），屋台，山鉾，傘鉾，車楽（だんじり）などや，仮装の一団が付随する。江戸時代後期には京都祇園会の神輿洗いに加わった祇園芸妓による練物は，絵入番付ができるほどの人気で，北野天満宮神事における上七軒芸妓の練物も著名。江戸においても山王祭，神田祭に出された山車人形の趣向は，ただちに歌舞伎舞台で踊られ，仮装の踊子行列や作り物の風流など，各町ごとの趣向が競われ，多くの番付が残る。
