Takasaki Festival!

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".
