Description
Satisfied MonkIn the city of Kamakura, which is south of Tokyo, I visited the Annual Festival at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine Mikoshi. During this time, portable shrines are carried on people's shoulders. Also, horseback archery is performed in front of spectators. On the Ritual Dance Stage inside the precincts, Japanese dancing is performed. Also, the Shinko Festival takes place with a trio of portable shrines and procession of divine horses. This monk is strolling to the parade assembly point where they will carry portable shrines down the local village main street.

This is a wonderful way to wake up. I visited some of their galleries and enjoyed the tours. I placed your icon under the artwork and a link back to your feature. Good luck with your Canon!

Thank you for doing that Andy.
As far as my Canon is concerned... I'm unable to test it because it's raining now and I can't go anywhere with it. I will try to do that tomorrow.

He does look like he's quite content, just strolling along and enjoying life. His outfit is very nice. Kimono's are pretty comfortable...I have a yukata (summer kimono) and that is so incredibly comfy to wear.

I bought a kimono in Japan as well. However, I haven't used it yet because I'm having belt loops sewn into it.
