Naginata boko Chigo wearing stage makeup appears in many events beginning with 'Osendo' (a thousand visits to a shrine) on July 1, and then in 'chigo shasan' (child of festivity visiting the shrine) in the morning on the 13th in Kariginu costumes and golden eboshi (lacquered headgear originally worn by court nobles in ancient Japan); Naginata boko Chigo is then awarded the rank of 'Shogoi Konoefu Naibukanshoku' (the senior fifth rank with a post guarding inside the palace and imperial families) (as high as feudal lord); after that, no women can assist the chigo.
