九月十二日(kugatsu jyuni nichi) : September 12

It was another hot day.

There was a festival in my town from yesterday but I had to go to Tokyo I did not have a chance to see the festival. But I could hear the piquant sound of Japanese flutes and drums.
Yesterday it seems there were sumo tournaments among children. Today there was a parade of floats called dashi (山車) and a sacred portable shrine called omikoshi (御神輿). There were some street stalls and flags near the shrine.
