Abare, Part 2

Well this festival was so cool that it deserved a second post........


Drunk half dressed men flinging a large wooden thingamabobber end over end- this did look quite dangerous.

View from above

They parade the lanterns through the streets and to various temples where they burn them up and destroy them. More than a few people were seen burned and a bit bloody.

Fiona, me and Marie

Lots of girls wear yukata (light robe like a kimono) to summer festivals. This is me with Mayumi.
