Say farewell to 2006, and hello to this year's final issue of the asakusa-samurai blogs! Today we report the Christmas Light along with the street in front of Kaminarimon. Every winter, Kaminarimon's walk is illuminated and decorated with some motives. This year 6 motives comes up. I'd like to let you know...
This is the five-story pagoda established in Senso-ji. You should go to see it at Senso-ji through Kaminarimon. The real pagoda is more beautiful than one on the picture.
This is the Chinese dragon, which is carried over the people's shoulder in the festival. I remember that in Chinese Newyear Holidays, we have a festival in Asakusa.
This is, you know, Hanabi (Fire works) and Omishiko (portable shrine carried over the people's shoulder). To see real these, you should come to Asakusa in Summer. Sumida River Fire Works take place on the final Saturday in July and Sanja-Matsuri (festival) takes place in usually May.
This is ... What's that?? I don't know that. In my just opinion, it seems to be a Leaning Tower of Pisa...
This is ... also I don't know, but I think this is the people wearing old-fashioned Japanese festival costume. This costume is coming from crane-waltz.
This is the Hagoita! You know this is kind of badminton. This racket is made of woods and the shuttle is made of steel ball and bird's wing. Usually young girl play with this game in Winter holidays.
