The kids beating the large drum

Another day, another matsuri (festival), this time in Sakuragaoka-cho (桜丘町), Shibuya. This was just a local matsuri involving the kids carrying the omikoshi through the streets. Looks like they had a good time.

every matsuri needs someone following behind to lend support

Recently there have cases of omikoshi being stolen. Best put this one away safe for next year.Photo dataCameraNikon D700Focal length86mmAperturef/13Shutter1/640sISO1250Taken20 Sep 2009, 10:08

    I love how they use so many different colours on their Matsuri. As a Brazilian who knows a lot about carnival I can quite relate to it. It's absolutely beautiful. Keep the beautiful and informative pictures coming. ^_^
