Nebuta Matsuri - Giants Floats at Japanese festival







Hi guys! Today I'd like to introduce an awesome Japanese festival in Aomori!



At first, please watch this video! It’s
recorded by a foreign visitor and it shows how beautiful and powerful the
festival is well!












I guess you got brief ideas of Nebuta
Masturi^^




If you go to this festival, you can see a
parade of many enormous lantern floats!




Especially, they are extremely beautiful at
night!


Additionally
the floats can be up to nine maters wide and five maters tall, which depict gods,
historical or mythical figures from both Japanese and Chinese culture, kabuki
actors, and characters from the popular NHK Taiga Drama historical TV series.










Most importantly, you can feel the summer
has come when you hear the beat of taiko drum in Nebuta Matsuri! So please come
and feel that “real Aomori summer in this August!






Cheers,


Michiko
