There’s nothing like a festival to bring some fun into everybody’s lives. It brings people together and let’s them forget for awhile about everything else and focus on just having some fun! Here are some pictures from our local festival here in Fushimi. This festival is associated with the Gokonomiya Shrine. The “hana gasa” are what make this festival really exciting and fun to watch.

After carrying the “omikoshi” on your shoulders and/or back of your neck, some guys actually get a bump on the back of their neck that stays with them forever?!?
