Question

Special tools for making these objects include the flincher and the croze. In one of Japan’s Eighteen Great Plays, Sukeroku uses one of these objects to hide from police. (-5[1])Along with a wedding and a joust, a scene showing makers of these objects at the end of a 1517 plague appears in the Rat·haus-Glockenspiel in Marienplatz. Every seven years, makers of these objects don red jackets for a circular dance in Munich. An extremely large object of this kind draws tourists to Heidelberg (10[1]-5[1])Castle; (-5[1])a normal one (10[1])might be (10[1])a kilderkin or a firkin depending on its size. (-5[2])The “angel’s share” vanishes from (10[1])inside (10[1])these objects, (-5[1])which are made (10[1])of staves (10[1])and have a bung. (-5[1])One of them (10[1])called Queen (10[1])of the Mist was used by Annie Edson Taylor. (10[2])The surname Cooper (10[2]-5[1])derives (10[2])from (10[1])makers (10[1])of, for 10 points, what objects, in which daredevils have gone over Niagara Falls? ■END■ (10[7])

ANSWER: barrels [or casks; or kegs; or vats; or butts; or tuns; or Fassen] (The dance is the Schäfflertanz, or “Coopers’ Dance.” The “angel’s share” evaporates while a spirit such as whiskey is aging inside a barrel.)
