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.).

Joint Procession of Portable Shrines
Aug. 18, 1996

From noon at Eitai-bashi Bridge, the portable shrines were led by a "dry" (not wet) procession of the head priest, shrine maidens, and the tekomai singing troupe (pictured above).
