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.).

Sacred Carriage Procession
Aug. 17, 1996

The Sacred Carriage Procession on Kiyosu-bashi-dori avenue heading toward Kiyosu-bashi Bridge which spans across the Sumida River.

As you can imagine, I had to do a lot of running around to photograph the procession at various points along the route. I was familiar with the area, so I knew the best places to photograph the procession. The map of the route is indispensable. You can't do it on foot, so I chased the procession with my bicycle.
