While I returned to Tokushima pref.,I went to Awa-Odori in Tokushima city.
Awa-Odori is one of the three major summer festivals in Japan. I show some photos that I took.
Awa-Odori is also one of the world's leading Bon dance festivals with 400 years of history. My hometown, Tokushima Prefecture is the land of origin of the Awa Odori dance.
It was very spectacle that many dancers united an undisturbed dance with wearing Japanese traditional Kimono that is maybe since Edo-period.
I really enjoyed.
Next year, I will visit Awa-odori again, and see So-odori that is final stage in day. So-Odori consists of all dancers. It would be extremely wonderful spectacle.
