Love your photos of this festival. The first and last are particularly fascinating.
Great festival photos - the temple priest garments are wonderful and so colorful!
A time when the archer and the arrow become one - neither past, nor future, eternal present.
What a joy to be allowed to see these great pictures. Please have a wonderful Tuesday.

What wondeful photos. Such vivid colors.
Thank you all!
This is the grandest festival in Nikko, and the only problem is that it's always held on May 17 and 18, regardless of whether those dates come on a weekend or not. It was really hard for me to make it there - I had to work. So I only managed to go for day 2. These photos were taken by my wonderful (and infinitely more talented) husband. - the "Y" of "A and Y Ikeda".
