I was back up in Morioka again for yet another festival, this time for the 300 year old Hachimangu Matsuri.

The Hachimangu Matsuri is a 3-day festival with floats, music, dances, and yabusame (mounted archery).

The floats take 6 months to decorate and 200 people are attached to each one. The floats depicted characters from Japanese and Chinese history/legend and Kabuki characters.
