Kagoshima Ohara Festival. I seem to have picked a good spot with my pin. Not only a smoking mountain but the biggest festival in Kyushu. The Ohara folk dance parade, 22,000 dancers 660,000 visitors one evening and one day. The Main Street cordoned off 6 lanes inc trams, as a loop of rainbow colours parade, proud to represent their groups, together.
Enough colours and sounds to inspire 50 paintings! ……where’s my canvas and palette knife….oooooh those colour combinations. This one is for Jill B.
