Sakura season is here and each town is having a sakura festival!
Sakura is the Japanese term for cherry blossoms which is probably the national flower of Japan. The sakura only blooms for one week once a year.which is why the Japanese flock and cuss over these flowers.
This is in Nakano (where the cheapest 2nd hand camera shop in Tokyo can be found). Each lantern represents a donor I guess.
Takoyaki vendor. Takoyaki are balls made from flour, egg and lot of ingredients with a piece of octopus in the middle.
It’s really amazing how the vendor makes them round while cooking. They have to be real fast.
Chocolate coated babanas are a thing in Japanese festivals.
Now why do you suppose this one pink banana was placed here away from the rest?
Yup my creativity just ran out. I can’t think of a decent title. Argh!
There are trinkets sold in a festival booth. Don’t think they’re charms. Just trinkets I guess. As Japanese luuurrrvveee cute stuff.
Well the fish. You use a paper (yes paper) net to catch one of them worm-eating buggers. If you can’t catch one, Mr. Fishy will give you one anyway. ^^
I guess that’s why there are fish shortage in Japan. LOL
