Day 28 of the #mbapr Photoblogging Challenge: community by @stupendousman@micro.blog. Carrying the omikoshi portable shrine through my part of Tokyo and getting close to the community.

The image depicts a traditional Japanese festival scene where participants are carrying a mikoshi (portable shrine). The mikoshi is elaborately decorated in gold with white lanterns and red accents. Participants are dressed in traditional festival attire, some wearing headbands, while others are in casual clothes. They are lifting the mikoshi on their shoulders using two long wooden beams. In the background, there are residential buildings and power lines under a cloudy sky.

@starrwulfe I tried this for the first time last year at an undokai (after 36 years in Japan go figure!) and it was heavy, but a lot of fun. There were a lot of kids around and the weight felt like a burden to keep them safe.
