Okay, so I'm a little behind here. . .

"Koromo Matsuri" -- the annual fall festival here in Toyota took place in the middle of October. Isn't this little boy (Yuuto) the cutest ever?? I became friends with his parents since they have a hair salon nearby where I've been going (hence the highlights and permed hair on this little guy!!) Although they were working this day, her parents offered to take Yuuto and I.
Apparently these "floats" are each maintained by individual communities within Toyota, on the Saturday of the festival paraded around in these areas, and then Sunday (before we arrived) brought to sit at the big temple near the city centre. The paper you see strewn around that Yuuto is throwing is the confetti that they shower on the floats as they enter the temple grounds. Posted by Picasa
