Autumn Festival 2010


Autumn Festival 2010, originally uploaded by takashi nishie.

Every middle of October we are supposed to have an traditional festival. We lift and carry "Mikoshi" and walk down the street. As originally defined, this kind of festival is for celebration of harvest and health.

Since I am the person of this year, I can ride on Mikoshi and be celebrated by participants. People can be the person of year in every 12 years and in this year the person who was born in 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 1962... is the one.

Because of this festival, I feel grateful for Gods, nature, people and everything around me.
