Festival-goers


They are waiting for their group of the festival and wearing YUKATA(浴衣) that is traditional Japanese clothes in Summer. I don't think we wear YUKATA usually. It is already just for festival, even people wear it as daily clothes in the past. Anyway this place is inside Osaka Tenmangu(大阪天満宮) that is shrine, and the shrine is final place of the festival. The festival reaches its climax here. If you have a chance to visit around these days, it must be good experience.

I found better site for Tenjin Matsuri. It is from Osaka Convention & Tourism Breau. This site has Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean.
