Yokota joins in theTanabata Festival
YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan -- Military Members from Yokota Air Base, Japan participated in the Fussa City Tanabata Festival Aug. 6. The festival itself featured a number of different groups carrying Mikoshi (shrines) and mobile stages featuring performances of traditional Japanese characters such as a fox and an Oni, or a demon. At many points during the march the groups would raise the shrines and cheer in front of the stages. The festival included performances of traditional Japanese dancing and the carrying of shrines from Shinmeisya Shrine to Fussa City Hall. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Stacy Moless)
