Autumn festivals!


I am introducing about a festival in Aomori prefecture. The festival name is Aomori Nebuta Festival. It is very famous in Japan. It is held at Aomori city in Aomori prefecture. This festival is held from 2nd to 8th on August every year. Nebuta is a festival car. The festival car is very big. The maximum size of the width is 9 meters. The maximum size of the depth is 7 meters. The maximum size of the height is 5 meters. The car’s theme is the gods and Buddha or legendary or historical person of Japan or China. Recently, in this festival troublesome person appear. The name is Karasuzoku. They are in black clothing and very violence.
Next, I introduce my hometown festival. The name is Handa Dashi festival. This festival is held every four years. This cycle is the same as the Olympics, so I am always looking forward to this festival. At this festival, many stalls are held and many people enjoy it. Dashi is festival car. In my hometown, we have five festival cars. The number is high level in Japan.
The dashi is very big, so when this car moves we are very excited. You should see it.
