My camera had been staying at home for quite some time now and I was looking for a reason to bring it out once more. And matsuri is always worth it. The last time I did so was for the <a href=”https://achikochi.tokyo/fr/2016/05/15/sanja-matsuri-2016/”>Sanma Matsuri </a>in Ueno last year. So I headed of the Meiji Shrine in Harajuku. I was not their for the biggest event but it was still worth it.

It sometimes felt weird to take pictures of random people during what was basically a private celebration but some were really open with the idea and were swarmed by photographers. Pictures were taken with authorisation.

Still some room for improvement but it’s getting better.
