Nebuta Matsuri 2010 - Giants Floats at Japanese festival

http://therovingroninreport.blogspot.com/2011/07/japans-nebuta-matsuri-giant-...
Nebuta Matsuri is one the three biggest festivals in Tohoku, the northern region of Japan. In Aomori City they built giant floats of bamboo and washi (harden Japanese paper) which depicts scenes of Japanese and Chinese history and legends.

It's one of my favorite festivals and this was my fourth time to see it. This was the last day of my five-day festival journey through Aomori Prefecture last summer. I had to split early unfortunately to catch a night bus - which I missed and ended up sleeping on a bench and taking the shinkansen back.

I thought these floats were motorised until I saw the people underneath it.....

[RoninDave]

@Koroodetto yeah they like the old fashion way of sweat and strain

[ArtiKard]

Do you know if there is a kind of list of 'must see festivals/things' in Japan ;).

Seeing all the Vlogs makes me want to go there a year or so.

[RoninDave]

@ArtiKard Nebuta is certainly up there because everyone in Japan has heard of the festival

The people calling me a troll, obviously have no idea about Japanese, I think he can admit himself that he's not that good, I made 1 comment to say my opinion, It's a bit boring now.

Debate OVER.

[RoninDave]

@Doggybluntman there never was a debate - only a silly unrelated rant from someone who probably created this account a day ago. Grow up and stop worrying about what other people say and do that has nothing to do with you

@Doggybluntman sure... reply to me on my channel wall and talk shit when I can't respond because your channel is not available. Talk about a hit and run. Your pathetic dude, and your only proving what I said about you earlier. And why don't you show your face before you run your mouth.

Spectacular video as always. Thanks RoninDave.
