Troop Of Dancing Women

A troop of woman danced on the street

Leaving the precinct of Senso-Ji, I headed for Ueno. It is not so far from Asakusa. On the way to Ueno, there is a shopping district called Kappabashi. Many cooking utensils and kitchenware are sold there. Especially, it is famous for the plastic display foods.

When I entered the district, I found a crowd on the street. A festival was held on that day. The food stalls were side by side of the street and the delicious smell wafted around. Enjoying the atmosphere, I snaked my way through the crowd.

In the meantime, a troop of women wearing the same Yukata and a headband was seen at the end of the street and I heard the music. They paraded while dancing. All the member of the troop moved their arms up and down to the music. Watching them, I felt that the summer came.
