第21回　万国ホラ吹き大会 仙人の道 (Bankoku Horafuki Taikai Sennin no Michi)

In Owani Town, there is a saying, "You can't talk big until you've seen the Ishi no Tou*.

*Note: Ishi no Tou is a gigantic 24m-tall, 74m-circumference natural stone formation at the border of Owani Town (Aomori Prefecture) and Akita Prefecture.*

"Ishi no Tou" (Source: Owani Town Website)

Based on this local proverb, the event starts with climbing the Ishi no Tou to receive a "bragging rights license" (small wooden plaque). Afterward at the competition venue, the contestants have five minutes to tell fantastic stories, wild tales, etc. to make the audience laugh and to compete for the title of best teller of tall tales.
