Misawa City Parade

The day after we returned from the mission trip, I went out and took pictures of my friends who dressed up in kimonos and danced in the Misawa City Parade. This was a huge cultural opportunity for them and so I agreed to snap a few photos. The parade itself was definitly entertaining so I had plenty to look at while I waited for them to pass by. Below are some fun snapshots.

I caught a glimpse of some of them as they made their way to the parade start point.
