Splash!


I wish I was there!

Water is hurled over portable shinto shrine carriers, at a summer festival at the Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine festival in Tokyo.

Where I lived before, in Hongo, Bunkyo ku in central Tokyo, I once participated in a smaller shrine-carrying event, and my neighbours invited me to help carry the heavy box around the small streets. There was no water-hurling, though, but it was lots of fun.
