Summer Matsuri
Summer is a time of festivals in Japan and also the time of Obon. I took these photos at a local matsuri in Chiba which included plenty of drum playing and obon dancing.
Shioyaki 3 chome
Tasty dango
Sweets for the kids
Dancing around the central exhibit
Perfect
The crowds enjoying the festivities
Lots of color and a great beat here
All dressed in pink and ready for the festival
Never too early to find your beat
Some juniors join in the rhythm
30th anniversary of the school where the festival was held
Wonderful coordination from the drummers
Great leg work
Always great to see the different food stalls
Loved the color in these bon odori lanterns
Nice atmosphere in the tent seats
Thought the expressions in this photo were wonderful. Great to see everyone having such a good time.
