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?
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly very colorful. :-)
ReplyDeleteNeat! But I'm curious too... *IS* it being carried by hand?!
ReplyDeleteThe float is beautiful. It is interesting that Japan includes such a wide range of religions.
ReplyDeleteAre those really ladies or statues on the very cool float?
