The restoration of the child doll that parades on the Keihoko float in the Gion Festival has been completed, and it was unveiled on June 27, 2024 at the meeting hall in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City. As a result of the restoration, it was discovered that the legs can be bent so that the doll can sit upright. Atsushi Sakamoto, representative director of the Keihoko Preservation Society, said, "I've been involved with the Gion Festival for about 50 years, but this was the first time I'd heard this, and I was surprised. I want as many people as possible to see it."
