#1 here, reporting from Japan. On Tuesday, I went to one of Tokyo's big festivals. It is called "Tori no Ichi" and it is a very colourful event at which they sell highly decorated bamboo rakes with which people and businesses will "rake in" money in the coming year. This being Japan, there were lots of cats, and also some dogs, in the rake designs. Here is a selection for you:
oh that is wonderful ... and we wish all peeps a lot of success and mountains of moneeh ;O)
ReplyDeleteMy human says she needs one of those rakes! MOL
ReplyDeleteThat is one cool bunch of goodies!
ReplyDeleteHow great you got to go to Tori no Ichi! There must have been tons of people. Those bamboo rakes are so pretty :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative idea for that festival!!! All our rakes seem to rake in are dirty leaves.
