Hyakumangoku Festival
Sunday, July 4, 2010
Hmm, the mobile update didn't seem to work. I went to the Abare Festival up in the north of Ishikawa, otherwise known as the Fire and Violence Festival. I'm in the process of getting those pictures uploaded now and I'll have more of a write up, but for now here's some pictures from the Kanazawa Hyakumangoku Festival a month ago.
The spring JET soccer tournament was the same weekend, so I couldn't spend much time at the festival, but a famous part of it is when hundreds of lanterns are floated down one of the rivers in Kanazawa. I didn't get any truly spectacular pictures, but here are a few I got on Friday night before I headed to Nagano.
