Asakusa Samba Carnival After Coronavirus pandemic, the Asakusa Samba Carnival has been fully Held in in 5 years yellowtail! 👏👏 In the past, it was held on the last Saturday of August, and it was also a day of fighting against the piercing sun, but this time it was the middle of September, and although there was still some residual heat, a pleasant breeze blew and I was able to watch it comfortably. One team stands at the starting position and takes just over an hour to finish. How much preparation and effort did we put into this parade over the past year? The late-summer tradition in Tokyo is like a grand and ephemeral dream. I feel a hint of autumn in a little loneliness.

2024/08/24 Edogawa Fireworks Festival I headed to the venue from Asakusa, which was supposed to be nearby, an hour before the launch start time, but what a crowded yellowtail. I was in a hurry, but the Edogawa bank to the venue went on endlessly. When I was halfway through the program, I was finally able to sit down in the seat where I had bought a ticket. In the dark night sky, there are a hundred flowers of fire. The ephemeral light of a thousand purple crimsons, the ephemeral afterimages, and the memories that burn into the eyes. A distant summer day overlaps the back of an engrossed young child.

The sword is the soul of the samurai; it cannot be sold even if it starves to death. Bushido made the sword a symbol of his power and valor. From an early age, one is taught how to use a sword. He started with a wooden sword, and when he reached the age of 15, he was allowed to carry a serious weapon. At that time, he became aware of his self-respect and sense of responsibility for carrying a dangerous weapon in the street.
