This last weekend, Rob flew back to the Noto from Tokyo for the much-anticipated Abare Matsuri, dubbed as the "Fire & Violence Festival" - he has waited for one year for this event! My friend

Oh wow!! It's just like the festivals they have in anime. I've always wanted to see what those were like... did they have lots of edible things? Dancing people? music?

Yeah, it's not just a treat for the visual senses. The streets were noisy with singing/cheering, taiko drumming, bells ringing, the shrill sound of flutes. And there were teenage girls dancing at the front of each kiriko as they lead their group forward. Pretty awesome stuff..
