My neighborhood had the annual Bon Matsuri today. I should have been paying attention to the notice board, but instead I found out by hearing the music playing from my apartment window. On my trip down to the supermarket, I stopped by and took a few photos.
The dancers...
And some kids who will be up there in a few year's time.
And a group of kids very talented at the taiko drums, both hitting the drums and tossing and twirling the sticks.
A small movie (240 x 360) of the dancing can be seen here. The file is an MPEG-4 Movie, so you will probably have to have an MPEG-4 codec (or an OS X Mac) to view it. The file is 1.7 MB, 43 seconds long. You may have to wait a minute or two before it loads and starts playing. Enjoy!
