o-matsuriお祭り

last weekend was the omatsuri of the town i live in.

Matsuri (祭り, Matsuri) is the Japanese word for a festival or holidays. There are not specific matsuri days for all of Japan; dates vary from area to area, and even within a specific area. Almost every locale has at least one matsuri in late summer or early autumn, usually related to the rice harvest.

in my opinion, matsuri is in certain ways, quite similar to the '九皇爷' in malaysia. but for '九皇爷', they walk for longer distance and do not rest until they finish walking.

go go go!
i can only say it's tiring

after the omatsuri, everyone's shoulder has become such a sensitive place, because, u can imagine how painful it is if u HIT it! haha

but it's really a nice experience
