It was customary for new brides in Shimada-juku (島田宿) to pray for pregnancy at Ōi-jinja, then show off their new obis about town. Out of this tradition grew a festival in which men (not women) paraded to show off gold-threaded obi hung from their swords!
The 'Shimada Taisai' (島田大祭 the 'Obi Festival' 帯まつり) takes place between October 8th-10th in Shimada City, Shizuoka Prefecture. This year will be the 111th Taisai.
