Koenji 40th Annual Awadori Matsuri
Tokyo - 8/28/96

 

Awadori - "The Dance of Fools"
One is crazy to dance it yet one is crazy not to dance it.

Though the dance originated on the island of Shikoku,
it has become a national dance for all ages that vigorously marks the end of summer.

Dance team after dance team prances and swoops bye;
with thousands of dancers, no wonder it takes 3 hours for the parade to pass!
