Geidai festival


I was wandering through Ueno Park the other day & came across the Geidai (Tokyo Geijitsu University) Festival. Each University has its own festival, some much more impressive than others.  This is at the highly accomplished end of the spectrum.  Each faculty makes a float and happi coats to wear.

Stunning floats! I love the kabutomushi. :)

It's unusual I think for a school festival to be in the summer holidays. I guess it's so preparation intensive that it keeps them gainfully occupied... can't have free time in Japan you know.
