Tomorrow is the Aoba Matsuri Festival! I hope it doesn't rain.
I heard about Sendai's Tanabata Festival when I moved to Japan two years ago. I was in the neighbouring prefecture, Yamagata, but I had never heard of this festival before!
昨日ちーさんが青葉祭りの情報をのったので見てね!
The details can be found in the previous blog post by Chi-san, or alternatively, please check out their official website.
すずめ踊りや大きいな「山鉾」(やまほこ)、山車(だし)見たいものが見えます!
You can see the special "sparrow" dance and see huge wooden floats.
私の友達はすずめ踊りのグループに参加していて、演奏を見る予定です!
My friend will be dancing and I hope to see her perform!!
In Australia, we don't have (or rarely, at least) have these sorts of events with floats and food stalls, so I really feel "Japan" when these festivals happen!
