Was sent this clip through from one of our guides currently guiding a private tour up in Nagano. The Snow Monkeys in autumn.

Here’s a quick vid of Yabusame horseback archery on display at a ceremony at Omi-jingu shrine in Otsu-shi, Shiga, not too far from where we are. The ceremony had been cancelled for the last two years - good to see it back, and the video was shot by my dad - here on a special family visa!

The burning of wishes; the bonfire took a while to get going with the rain increasingly coming down; but all worked out well in the end. It feels sorry to say farewell to the winter - it was a good one with lots of snow but, well, the spring is fun too – and quite a bit warmer…

Our local ceremony welcoming in the spring down by lake Biwa (Omi-Maiko Beach) supported by the Nomura Taiko drumming group (of three of our members belong). It was a bit of a rainy day so drums had to be kept under shelter.
