title or description

Morning race: men from Hakata's seven districts race through the streets carrying decorative, one-ton floats, shouting "Oisa! Oisa!~". Spectators, shout along and splash them with water. I would too, if I could get my hands on a pail. It was a wet festival and I decided not to take my camera along. Hence, all photos kindly sponsored by Jason. I like his style, he captures movement very well, don't you think?
