gion matsuri series ep.10

(You could turn on subtitles for some humble descriptions from me :)
The large floats and their bases were spectacular for sure. But they could get really crowded.
That’s why you might see me running back and forth around the smaller floats’ bases instead.
Many of them had their retired decorations on display where you could look closely and slowly.
I couldn’t memorise all the stories but you did feel the history, the heritage.
And did I mention that it was so much fun to get lost in narrow roads and alleys?

Everything is beautiful.

I love how heavily the youths and kids were involved. They might be shy and frightened but it really is a great way to learn how to socialize and co-operate with others. No matter the gender, age or personality I think they are all beautiful.

It's all about THE PEOPLE.
It's THE PEOPLE who craft, tell history, provide service, play music, bring joy and express enthusiasm from the heart.
O, and the people are beautiful too. Kirei!
