The sun started to set and it was about time for the real excitement to show itself in the parade.
Even the children would get decked out in the hapi. I think it better to wait until the growing slows down a bit before buying them. But you never know I guess.
Ken was enjoying the noise and excitement of the events.
Finally we could see the first of the Parade floats -
gotenyatai as they are called.
There are many of them and they are all equally beautiful. Usually on the inside of the floats, the neighborhood's children sit playing the Matsuri song.
After we saw a number of them coming out, it was time to head on home and put Ken to sleep, but it was great to soak in the atmosphere and see the sights of the Festival's parade. Tomorrow we would watch the kites.
