22-23/09/18 - Aizu, days two and threeYesterday and today’s pics are of the Aizu Festival, which is the reconstitution of the Boshin War of 1868 (my subject of research) and consists in a parade. I saw amazing things, like a yosakoi dance - which was awesome - or children doing small choregraphies that were adorable?? I was so proud of these babies??? I loved it! My feet hurt but I don’t care!!It started yesterday evening with the lamp parade throughout the city, then a bon-odori dance in the main street. Which lasted one hour and a half. At the end of it I couldn’t feel any of my limbs but I was so… high on joy? And the feeling lasted today as well. I’ve waited seven years to witness this… So I guess I had to cry. It was really symbolic for me. -- source link
