⇓WH.323 REVIVE ❸ 祭り Japanese festival⇑
Besides joining the patrol of OMIKOSHI, there are many culture events to experience the authentic Japan—even in the hustle and bustle of Tokyo!
I just came across this performance of Edo period style on my way home, which intrigued people so much to watch how he plays with the ball, tea cup, and box 🤡 Next time, don’t forget to check the shine in your neighbourhood where the hidden gems invite you to explore 🍁
‘ARTS Japan’ project made by BBC Four introduced Japanese customs with succinct videos cross the history to modern art. Recommended:)

Day 49 亀戸。天神社大祭に、御神輿 ii
...昨天御鳳輦渡御祭所再現的平安朝風華，正是吸收唐風的成果。而今天的重頭戲「氏子神輿宮入り」中所指的「氏子」：以地方上一間神社為中心，所形成的祭祀圈文化，也和中國的土地公祭拜息息相關。..more
除了親身參與夏天的お神輿外，一路到秋天還有很多體驗日本道地文化的機會，即使是在非常摩登的東京！
譬如: 和日本人一起叫賣，參加什麼都很便宜的「縁日」市集、穿著清爽浴衣，和日本人一起跳盂蘭盆會的盆踊り、或是注意附近神社哪位神明過生日，通常都會有意想不到的驚喜。這段雜技表演是我「不小心」在田無神社撞見的—看他從普通的球、茶杯、到最後的方盒子，一路轉到油紙傘上非常有意思！
BBC Four之前做了一系列 ‘ARTS Japan’的專題，每篇都有深入但簡潔的影片，推薦給大家 🌾
