I saw the Yamakasa race floats in different places
Last Saturday, I made a bicycle trip to see the Yamakasa (山笠) race floats in Tenjin (天神) and Kamikawabata-dori (上川端通) shopping arcade. Yamakasa is an annual summer festival held from July 1
to 15 by Kushida Shrine in Fukuoka.

Next, I went to Kamikawabata-dori shopping arcade, a covered walkway on the way to Canal City Hakata from Nakasu-Kawabata subway station. There is two the eighth Yamakasa floats in the same place. I took a picture of the one in front of ABC flower shop.
The decoration of floats are shown in different characters. The picture below is Hanasaka Jiisan (花咲じいさん) or Hanasaka-Jii (花咲爺), a Japanese fork tale. On the opposite side, it is appeared Funa Benkei (船弁慶), a Kabuki play starred by Ichikawa
Danjuro IX in 1886 (see the photo above).
