Nebuta (Japan 3rd largest summer festival)

Well Nebuta(ねぶた) is actually is a warrior thing. It was said it was created by Genrel Tamuramaro
in the early 800's. Well they created Nebuta to frighten enemies as you can see why
the Nebuta's statues had frightening faces. Well my university insist us(foreign students)
to join the crowd and dance along with the Nebuta's during the festival had open up
a great opportunity to get closer to one of Japan's great culture. Though i didn't took much photos
but here is some of it...

This we call the 'FLOAT' of Nebuta. As it moves we will dance in front of it
