The Takasaki Festival was held in Takasaki city,Gunma pref.
I think Japanese style festival is so artistic.
Because "Mikoshi" and "Dashi" are portable Japanese architecture.
"Mikoshi" is a portable shrine.
Number of people parade and carry the "Mikoshi" on their shoulders.
"Dashi" is a float and a pageant.
That looks like a shrine or stage.
A couple of person play a flute, drums or a bell on the "Dashi".
That music is elegant.
A special feature of Takasaki's "Dashi" is a Japanese doll on the top of "Dashi".
Speaking of the rainy season, popular flower is hydrangea flowers.
I took these pictures at Babagawa street in Maebashi city.
I went to Tokyo to take teaching English to children's
seminar yesterday.
Then I went to "Rikugien garden" in Tokyo before
I took seminar.
"Rikugien garden" is near Komagome station, Yamanote line.
There was a daimyo garden in Edo era.
There is woods or some kinds of plants and a lake.
There is like urban oasis.
Azaleas and hydrangeas flowered.
There is a teahouse.
I drank a cup of powdered green tea and a Japanese sweet.
I reluxed when I drunk a cup of tea and was seeing a garden.
I went to Maebashi city on Sunday.
The green festival in Gunma is held there and Takasaki.
There was in bloom cherrys.
