The Omikoshi

A local festival where a portable shrine or an Omikoshi will be paraded in the streets of the town. Me and some officemates were able to join this very Japanese festival. The omikoshi is the residence of the local God and is put out in the neighborhood. The Omikoshi was very heavy and my shoulder got bruised in this event. For the Japanese, this is normal and they consider it as a symbol of honor.
