Two nice japanese with the traditional yukata (summer kimono) posing for the gaijin photographer.
It’s really common in summer to see women wearing these beautiful dresses, especially during the weekends. Also men wear their yukatas in the weekends, but in a quite lower number.
One of the most important festivals in Tokyo take place around 15th August. One of the main attractions is this parade were people carry these statues and the rest throw water to them. The pity of this year’s festival was the weather. It rained the whole weekend, so throwing water when it’s raining it’s not that funny.
By the way, don’t ask me what all this event is really about, because I have no idea… For me it was like the Semana Santa, but in summer and a bit more abstract…
In the same market as in a previous post, I also found a stand where they sell since 1988…
When I went to the fireworks, I found out some kind of market where you could find many things to eat while looking at the fireworks. Here you have some of the things you could buy there:
…yakisoba…
…corn…
…squid…
…and the dessert, bananas covered with chocolate with different colours…
