June 1, 201610 yr Last Sunday was the Children's Onbashira Festival in Chino City. I went down to help pull the log around the village to theFox Mountain God Shrine while the children rode on the sacred log. My cousin in law was in charge of the event this yearand that is him riding the log in the first vid. For more info about the real, major Onbashira festival check out the Onbashira Wiki...Yes, people do die while either riding the log down the slope or during the raising pillars at the shrine. That's part of the tradition!
June 1, 201610 yr You look great, skillful one. The look of the Free from Smoke ! and it is nice to see some hapi coats etc. Western clothing is not so pretty nor functional. S
June 1, 201610 yr Author Thank you♫ My happi was a little too heavy for the weather... Everyone was smoking around me, I didn't even bat an eye... 4 months ago would have been a different story.../
June 1, 201610 yr ah...happi . a perfect design. I have a pattern and make them, often with big zippered outside pockets. It is very cool that smoking didn't get to you, I am glad you have a good quit going. People smoking bothers me...not because I am tempted but, because of the toxic clouds...they make me gag. Fumes of pure poison, How/why did I ever DO that ?!
June 2, 201610 yr Wow...that's Amazin...and scary... I think maybe Boo...might like to try this...as he likes to have fun and frollick... Having said that...I know some folks I would gladly push off a log..lol...
June 2, 201610 yr I think maybe Boo...might like to try this...as he likes to have fun and frollick... You know me well Doreen. I was watching that video and thinking that looked like a bit of good, clean fun. Cool video Skillful.
June 2, 201610 yr Crikey, looks a bit risky! Part of the tradition being folks dying or hurting themselves sends my "inner mum warrior" into crowd control mode. I'd be telling them all to stop it :) You look well though :) x
June 3, 201610 yr Author Thank you Marti.... with the advent of twitter, facebook, and other social media that has been the case...
