8 June, Wednesday - Mercury day, moon in Virgo,
the 7th day of the 5th lunar month.
What do you think they are carrying?
The answer is Dashi (festival float)!
As you know, our festival floats are decorated with
the Tokugawa family's crest & a wave pattern.
Tokugawa Shogun was a big patron of Shinagawa shrine in Edo times.
Furthermore, we locals are very proud of having the beautiful
boat like float. We live with the sea.
Well, get ready for turning around the float?
Almost...
Perfectly done.
Shinagawa kids grew up in such a historical cultural place.
That makes us shine!
