This weekend there was a 3 day festival in Himeji. It was a celebration of Japanese culture which involved dancing, Noh (Japanese theatre) and yum festival food! We went to all three nights and it was great especially as I had missed this festival last year!
A Noh play in front of the castle on Friday night.
I went out to dinner at an okonomiyaki place with Taube, Ferra-Lynn and Julian.
Lanterns outside the castle on Saturday night.
Kitty-chan masks for sale at the festival.
Me getting into the spirit of the festival with icecream and an Anpanman! He now swings from the light in my lounge room!
This is how Anpanman and I got home!
The festival involved a lot of dancing on the Sunday.
Me eating a BBQ squid on a stick! It was really yum!
These dancers were really cool with their one glove, dyed hair and open shirts!
One guy even had a love heart painted in his hair!
These dancers were described as "old but genki"!
It was perfect summer weather for a beer and something that was like takoyaki and okonomiyaki with egg. Yum!!
When the cool dancers performed on stage they even took their shirts off!
One of the dancers was a student of Taube's so we had a photo with them!

That festival looked interesting. At least you got to see it this time!! I can't believe you are in things and short sleeves - I am sitting her freezing my butt off.
