Riders in the storm - Typhoons and the Kishiwada O-danjiri Matsuri







































Kishiwada O-danjiri Matsuri, a famous Shinto festival held in Osaka every year, promises to be a lively and even dangerous event no matter the weather. This September, however, a typhoon blew torrential rains our way, rendering the whole affair even more impressive. Details of the origins of this and similar festivals can be found here: http://www.japanvisitor.com/japanese-festivals/danjiri-festival.
For my part, I shall let these images continue my account whilst I assess the water damage to my camera...
