Furusato Matsuri (Local Festival)






Yesterday was the summer festival in our village. It is a great event for the community. This year they did kagura, a type of ancient story telling with drumming, music, and dance. The picture on the bottom shows the dragon before the warrior sleighs him and saves the town. After kagura was taiko drumming and then dancing. The finale every year is the fireworks. It was quite an impressive show.
