子供相撲@皮閉科神社秋祭り

September 25, 2011: 温泉タウン戸倉上山田 Onsen Town Togura-Kamiyamada

今年の皮閉科神社秋祭り。息子たちは子供相撲をまたチャレンジしました。私は今年、お相撲を遠慮しました。代わりに、一日をかけて、上山田神楽保存会の皆と町を,笛吹きながら回りました。

日本の地方だからこそ、こういうローカルの祭りを楽しめます。

Kids sumo wrestling at this year's Habeshina Shrine Autumn Festival. That's our Kenny taking on a challenger. I didn't participate in the sumo this year. Instead, I joined the Okagura lion dance procession around town playing the flute.

Every year around the 4th weekend of September, Kamiyamada's local Habeshina Shrine holds this quaint little festival. It represents the best of life here in the Japanese countryside.
