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.).

Rei-taisai Grand Ceremony
Aug. 15, 1996

The second part of the Rei-taisai Grand Ceremony was held inside the shrine. The shrine maidens performed a sacred dance in front of the altar.

 

The umbrella man waits outside the shrine building. The red umbrella is used to shade the head priest.
