🌸Went to the Bon-Odori Summer Festival at the Portland Japanese Garden yesterday and it was so much fun! Drummers and musicians from Japan visiting, group dances, koi fish - all you could ever want!

🌸According to The Portland Japanese Garden website [ Ссылка ]

"A highlight of summer festivals in Japan is the bon-odori (盆踊り/ Bon dance). Each region in Japan has their own version of the dance, as well as different music. In Japanese Buddhist tradition, bon-odori is a way to entertain and send off the spirits of our ancestors and celebrate life. Dancers circle the yagura, a high wooden bandstand for the musicians and singers."

🌸The taiko drummers and singers are presented by Takohachi with a special musical guest from Japan (Tsugaru Shamisen and Minyo singing).
