Neputa Festival 2008
Posted by admin under: Culture .
We visited to our home town, Hirosaki Aomori to watch the traditional festival Neputa. It is most energetic, powerful, soulful and artistic festival in Japan. Though usually Japanese people return to their family home in Obon (mid August), but we visit our family home in early August, because Neputa festival is in 1th to 7th August every year.

Note,
Hirosaki Neputa festival is similar to the Aomori Nebuta festival. But these two festivals are different. Hirosaki Neputa keep more traditional style.
