Uneme Matsuri (festival)


Nobby and Jo- They took me shopping all day


On the way to the Festival


Jo, me, and Peter in Yukata


One of the many dance groups


The huge drum. It's soo cool (Sugoi!!!)


Matty and Haruka

From what I can gather, Uneme was a court lady who committed suicide by drowning herself in a lake after she was parted from her lover. The next day something miraculous happened, but the miracle depends on your region. In Koriyama, flowers sprang up all around the lake.
