Kishiwada Danjiri Festival in Osaka


Team of men pull their portable shrine through the town of Kishiwada during the Kishiwada Danjiri Festival on September 15, 2012 in Kishiwada, Japan. The Kishiwada Danjiri festival is one of the most dangerous festivals, during which participants pull portable shrines very fast through the streets to the music of the flutes, bells and Taiko drums. The festival started 300 hundred years ago to pray for a good harvest. (Photo by Buddhika Weerasinghe)
