Volunteers from Yokota Air Base, Japan, and the nearby city of Fussa carry a mikoshi, or shrine, through Fussa on Aug. 3, 3007, as part of the annual Fussa Tanabata Festival. During the festival, people from various organizations carry mikoshi from the Shinmei Shrine to Fussa City Hall. The mikoshi are a means of transportation for divine spirits, allowing them to travel through the city during the festival. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Jonathan Fowler)(released)
