Akita Kanto Matsuri: the festival of balance and light
Held August 3–6 in Akita, this is one of Tohoku’s Three Great Festivals. Performers balance towering kanto poles (up to 12 meters tall, with 46 paper lanterns) on their palms, shoulders, or foreheads to the rhythm of "dokkoisho!" chants. Born in the 1780s as a harvest prayer, the lanterns symbolize rice bales and prosperity. A breathtaking blend of skill, tradition, and community spirit. #JapaneseTraditions #Matsuri #Festivals

👃BOOGER BANQUET🥴
Tamaruya's (田丸弥) bite-sized, muscovado flavoured 'hanakuso' (花供曽), take inspiration from a similar sweet sold at Shinnyo-dō (真如堂).
The temple transforms kagami mochi offered at New Year into small rice crackers for Buddha's Birthday (April 8th).These threads will help explain what exactly kagami mochi (鏡餅) is, and why Buddha's Birthday (花祭り) is important.

A beautiful and interesting 1 hour documentary on Tanizaki Junichiro and "In Praise of Shadows". The film itself has a mindful, almost dream-like quality.
