Lantern smashing Festival

October 21st

Chelsey, Jason and I went to the lantern smashing festival again this year in Aboshi but we were lucky to be taken there by a local man that we met through the international festival and have since become good friends with. He took us right to where the action was and he even found us a lantern each to take home! After we enjoyed a lovely dinner at his house with his family.

Shrines entering the festival - so pretty lit up


Lantern smashing!


More lantern smashing!


My friend Pat is in there somewhere - he got to participate and wear the outfit too!
