I know, crazy right?
Hehe, anyway, I went out with the O’neils to go see a festival going on here in japan, and I thought I would pass on a few pictures that I thought were neat.
These guys basically carry around that shrine thing throughout the town. I couldn’t tell you why or what for at the moment, but it’s interesting stuff. It’s also Really really hot here, and it’s grueling work…from what it looks like. Also before these guys start, I believe they have a ceremony where they drink some alcohol first :-)
Here’s a close up of one of the shrines(ive no idea if it’s supposed to be called a shrine or not)
Here’s a man doing some sort of play or something. Either way, he has an awesome mask.
The kids, having a nice cold jello drink type of thing to ward off the heat.
This mannequin thing was on top of some moveable cart thing with a drum inside.
Here’s a video of the guy who was doing that play/dance thing.
And here’s a video of the guys moving the shrine along. Like I said, it looks like grueling work :-) Especially since it’s really humid and about 80-90 degrees out. They wear the short and thin clothing for a reason :-P
