Back

My uncle is lives on the river in city of Kanda.
Today a festival takes place on the banks of the river.
It looks like rain.
The whole daylong people can visit the statue of god
and speak their prayers.
Nobody knows how I am feeling now
and some folk sprinkles salt over me
as an expression of their wishes for fertility.
 
My aunt lives on the river in city of Asakisa.
They have also a festival here.
There are so many things to look:
beautiful women, turtles and figures looking like devils.
Everywhere people are celebrating and enjoying the festival.
 
The sun already set down and a cool evening breeze blows.
Today it doesn't matter how much you are crying.
We will see us later at the festival.
