Asakusa Sanja Matsuri by FelixB
O-matsuri or festivals are a very common feature of Japanese religious life, especially during the summer months. There are a range of different types. For example, portable shrines called o-mikoshi, sometimes as havy as a ton, are carried through the neighbourhood. This is done for the gods enshrined in the o-miskoshi not to get lonely. The most famous one of that kind is the Sanja Matsuri that is held in Asakusa on the third Saturday and Sunday in May at the Kannon Temple. very interesting is that there is not only one of those shrines but 100 of them.Close to the temple is a bureau that displays one of the O-mikoshi. After asking they let me take the picture that you can see on the right side.
