Boy carrying the "snake", Jamaki Festival
Tawaramoto, Nara 2010
This is the event of the year where the whole village has to participate in the preparation or the parade. This is great fun for the children who are always excited and enthusiastic...at least at the beginning. And great fun for me to take these pictures of them and to try to capture their emotion. The colors were great with the blue costumes on the yellow wheat stalks.

Happy but probably exhausted after a day carrying the "snake" around the village.

Only men can carry the "snake" for the parade. This young boy seems proud to be part of it.
