Hakata Dontaku Festival 2009 ２００９年博多どんたく港まつり

Had the pleasure of participating in the famous Dontaku Festival with my classmates at NILS.
Dontaku comes from a Dutch word, “Zondag” which also means “Sunday”, or in this case “Holiday”. On this day, people from all over Japan gather to watch as residents fill the streets clapping rice paddles and playing shamisen. All in all, it’s a good day.
Music is by Kevin MacLeod, from the infamous incompetech.com.
