Hakata Gion Yamakasa Festival: Traffic Control
July 17th, 2010
Today at one minute before midnight (so, I suppose technically yesterday) seven floats raced around Hakata in Fukuoka City carried by dozens of nearly half-naked Japanese men. This is all part of the Hakata Gion Yamakasa Festival. As I’m currently in Singapore (woot woot!!) I was only able to snap a few shots from the rehearsal yesterday. Also in this post is the brief video I made of the rehearsal.
