Sat 24 Aug 2002 - The MATSURI was on at Azabu-Juban. Matsuri is a festival held in summer in various areas around tokyo. There are heaps of people ..... the girls and boys are sometimes dressed in their traditional summer clothing (the Yukata). One area had all the international foods - Thai, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Brazilian, etc. The other area was a street full of Japanese foods and drinks. Yummy!! I went crazy just trying everything. And I managed to buy two hand bags for the bargain price of 1,000 yen and 1,500 yen. It was really cool just to be part of the Japanese festival - I almost wanted to try the traditional dancing.
