Matsuri season
Aside from the broiling heat, summertime brings with it the matsuri, a Japanese festival where communities come together, dress in yukata and sing and dance till late hours while getting sloshed on sake and beer. After over 6 years of seeing them, I’ll never get tired of them. It’s always a good time and lots of fun trying all the interesting food. We hit the Shirokane Takanawa matsuri this past weekend and it was a blast. The only odd thing this time was the inclusion of a strange nature corner with birds tethered to a pole. Of course it was a little sad to see them tied there, but I’m not one to turn up a chance to get a close up shot of an owl and a hawk…
