Here is more of the Matsuri. This is 3 videos of Matsuri very lightly edited with some pictures and random music.

I think I was getting tired by now. A lot of standing and watching. Holy crap... these festivals are a lot of exercise and look at all the old people! This is how they stay in shape I bet...

I think it is important to keep these traditions because of that fence thing... don't remove a fence if you don't know why it is there.... "Chesterton's Fence - Do not remove a fence until you know why it was put up in the first place. Chesterton went on to explain why this principle holds true, writing that fences don't grow out of the ground, nor do people build them in their sleep or during a fit of madness."
