Un festival entre deux mondes

 

Chaqueannée, la petite ville deKamaishi organise son festival, une parade en l'honneur desdivinités locales. En 2019, ce festival tombera au même moment quela Coupe du Monde de Rugby™ ! Une belle occasion de découvrir laculture locale entre deux lancés de ballon ovale.

 

During the festival, nearly a dozen hikifune boats will cruise the bay of the small fishing village. Initially planned to accommodate a small crew, h ikifune boats are small Japanese boats that were traditionally used in Edo (1603-1868) to fish along the shore. Generally moored near the coast, they only sail today for the festival. For the occasion, they are even accompanied by t airyobata , large traditional Japanese lucky charm flags that would bring good luck and safety at sea.
