Aoba Matsuri

Here are a few photos from Saturday’s Aoba Matsuri.

Two women stand in front of a red parade float lined with small wooden panels hanging from strings. The wooden panels have Japanese writing on them.

A man in full samurai armor grasps the hilt of his sheathed katana menacingly.
One photographer’s head, coming up

Three women wearing red gi and ninja swords stand in a semicircle, waiting for the parade to start. They don't look very menacing.
The red ninjas will kill you with cuteness

    Red ninja’s not looking menacing? That’s what they want you to think.

    Never underestimate kunoichi (Women ninjas).
