Festival Floats
Night Festival
Festival Procession
Marionette Performance
Festival Costumes
Festival Food
It is our third year and our fourth year is about to start,
and little by little,
we are getting accustomed to all these things.
Kids, unfortunately, are more interested in what
to buy or what to eat at the festival, rather than
learning about its rich culture.
We have to go back and forth between the food stalls
and the festival floats to satisfy both of our needs.
But still, we all enjoy listening to the festival music,
watching lion dances and the observing beautiful floats
discussing the details and how elaborate they are!!
It is always sad when the Autumn Festival is over
but for kids, it seems that they can't wait for the snow to come.
We, adults, have a lot to learn from them.
2017の秋祭り（八幡祭）も楽しんできましたよ。
屋台
宵祭
御神幸
からくり奉納
祭衣装
祭のご馳走
少しずつ少しずつこれらに関する知識も増えてきたように思います。
子供たちはというと、祭の文化についてよりも
食べ物～、買い物～が一番！
全員の欲望を満たすために
食べ物屋台をうろうろ ⇒ 祭屋台をうろうろ
これの繰り返しです。
でも、お囃子の音に耳を傾けたり
美しい屋台のディテールについて話し合ったり
獅子舞のカッコよさに惚れたり
そんな時間を共有できるのはありがたいことですね。
秋祭りが終わると、一気に寒さがやってくる気がして
寂しくなる大人たちなわけですが、
呑気に大雪を楽しみにしているキッズ。
大人も負けないぞ！
