How we checked

Last checked October 16, 2026 against matsusaka-lantern.info. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.

Notes from the last check

The official site confirms the 2026 edition ran 7 to 8 February 2026 at Matsusaka Castle Ruins, but no 2027 or later dates or annual rule were found, so the next edition is recorded as tba.
