It is a brave festival where the floats preserved in each town parade around the city all at once. Each float is decorated with beautiful sculptures that make you addicted to it.

I am impressed when a huge number of sculpture stalls parade and hit the chopsticks from four directions at the intersection.

I enjoyed it.
