Hote Matsuri

After a week of purification it was time to carry the shrine all over the city and up and down Shiogama Shrine. Unforetuneatly I had to work most of the day so I could only catch the ending of it at night, but they carried and parraded around from 1230-800pm and everyone looked exhausted afterwards! Not too much more to say so I will let the photos speak for themselves.

From here is about the half way point...

Think it is getting heavy...
