Chichibu Festival Float Kids
I have posted before about one of the greatest winter festival in the Kanto region, the massive Chichibu Night Festival in Saitama prefecture just north of Tokyo. Even though it is called a night festival it starts early in the morning and while the sun is still up the kids of the town are allowed to take part on the massive festival floats that each neighborhood puts up for the festival. These kids were enjoying the view from the stage part of the float and were too cute not to photograph, and absolutely too cute not to blog! I especially like the photo of the very proud probably grand father holding the little baby! Adorable! Use the tags to find more posts about this fun festival.






Wow! The festival looks fab. Awesome photos too!

Fantastic photos !
Even just to see a way, head-band was tied (see especially the Grand father holding baby)
how much attention those people paid for such detail. —– He may not be a master of anything
yet definitely, he IS a Master Japanese in the Zen context. (Glad, I’m one of them.)
(May I re-blog about this using your photo. = of cause, I’ll shaw your blog name and the link)

Thank you Yoshizen, for your kind comment and your interesting reblog! I totally agree about the head bands, I have seen so many different styles over the years, and I have even heard the participants discuss the headbands among themselves. It is a really interesting subject, I am sure there are books about iT!
