What's this? Fukagawa Hachiman Festival photos by Philbert Ono. Held in mid-August in Koto Ward, Tokyo, this is the festival's full-scale version held once every three years (1996, 1999, 2002, etc.).

Aug. 18, 1996

The portable shrine itself gets drenched during the festival. After the festival, it takes about three weeks for it to dry out in open shade. Apparently, they are made to withstand water.
