Kawagoe Matsuri

Here is a scene from the daytime procession of the dashi on the main streets of downtown Kawagoe.

The dashi are impressive.

I am amazed how the dashi are maneuvered through the city streets avoiding light poles and power lines. Often there is a person manned on the roof of the dashi to navigate through the streets. That is a job I would not like to have.

Sounds like a job for the "low man".
