Osuka's Children Matsuri

September 9


All the researching of Osuka led to a successful children's matsuri exploration. No surprises along the way. Some rural sights along the bus ride. I see alot of scenery like this on my way to work.

Too bad it was a cloudy day, as the floats were all covered in plastic, making the figurines difficult to see. It takes away from the beauty of it all, but still the village partyed on.

Everyone takes a break as people relax, eat, drink and get ready to light the lanterns. Alas, I could not stay for the evening, as the last bus left at 5 ish. The reality of rural transport in Japan. For more details on the Osuka matsuri, check out my ethnoid blog.
