Autumn Festival Float
Misawa, Japan
August 1979
The back of this float can be seen in this post. This is obviously a religious float, but I do not know enough about Japanese religions to give you any specifics about the images on this float although I believe the dominant figure is a buddha.

You can read more about the religions practiced in Japan here.

    Looks like a heavy float. Is it being carried by hand?

    Neat! But I'm curious too... *IS* it being carried by hand?!

    The float is beautiful. It is interesting that Japan includes such a wide range of religions.

    Are those really ladies or statues on the very cool float?
