On December 14, the day the Ako Ronin raided the Kira mansion, the ''Yamashina Gishi Festival'' was held in Yamashina Ward, Kyoto City, which is connected to Kuranosuke Oishi. Local residents dressed as 47 samurai warriors paraded through the streets of December in a heroic manner, armed with arms.
