Asakusa Sanjasai Festival


Ran into Asakusa today to see if I could get any good pictures at this annual festival, one of the top 3 in Japan supposedly. Didn't see a lot of great photo ops but this one turned out pretty good. We had great weather today untill about 4:00 and then it jus poured, it was almost like a typhoon coming in. Luckily it was just as I was leaving the festival.

Very nice picture! Hey, is that you in the middle? You certainly are the courageous one to brave the crowds! I have a slight fear of going to these events after attending one where a fight broke out in the VERY close quarters and people started pushing and running. It seems that one group made off with a pole for one of the portable shrines, making it rather difficult to port.
