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.).
Prayer Ceremony
Aug. 16, 1996
This is the Horen, or Sacred Carriage. It is stored in a special storehouse on the shrine grounds. It is normally displayed behind glass.
The Sacred Carriage is nudged out of storage. The upper portion, which is a portable shrine, will be detached and loaded onto a truck. In the background is the shrine's torii gate.
