“First Day of Sanja Matsuri in Asakusa” by Naomi Iseki


Six portable shrines lined up in front of Asakusa Public Hall. I was not able to fit them all into one picture to show you, but I can assure you that a still photo wouldn’t do the passion and power justice!

It was my first time to see Senso-ji Temple’s large censer (vessel for burning incense) moved from where it always stands.

Inside Asakusa Shrine, three big portable shrines were waiting for their own turn.

The festival will continue tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I am getting more and more excited!

Safety first! They’ve prepared the area perfectly!
