Tsukiji Honganji Summer Evening "Goen Festa" There is also July 7th.

[Silver] July 7, 2016 09:00

 July 7 is Tanabata, but it seems that it was held in the lunar calendar in the past, so couldn't the weaver (Vega) and Toushi (Altar) meet until August? Well, the common theory is that you can only meet once a year. We humans on earth may have little romance because we can easily meet them. If you don't, write your wish on a strip, hang it on bamboo leaves, and pray that your request will come true. Yeah,

While thinking a little about such things, I went to Tsukiji Honganji summer evening "Goen Festa".

There was a towed cow. Go up the stone steps to main hall and go to the left.

 This is the world's animal design collected by Dr. Chuta Ito, who was involved in the construction of Tsukiji Honganji Temple. There are 14 objects, including fictional animals, and this printed matter can be found in main hall.

 

By the way, today, a lot of ladies and cute children who were not weaving women participated in the "Goen Festa", enjoyed Bon Odori, and enjoyed the delicious things of Tsukiji.

 

And Bon Odori was performed along with the sound of a fun drum.

 A chat while tasting the delicious things of Tsukiji. It was a good time to go over the word. International exchange progressed with tourists from Canada sitting on the same table, asking questions about the purpose of visiting Japan, the length of stay, and the schedule of Bon Odori to be held soon. It was time to say goodbye, and we were asked for a commemorative photo, and we also included in the photo.
