No.1142 Children's Procession on Nihon-enoki Street

This was a children's procession from Koyasan Kindergarten (behind Takanawa Police Station, now gone and turned into a parking lot). Buddhist temples belonging to the Buddhist Association in Minato City still take turns hosting the Flower Festival today. There's a 20-year wait for the crowns. The white elephant is an Indian elephant (small ears). The costumers were gorgeous. Ota-san's daughter apparently disliked dressing up as a "festival child" and for "Shichi-Go-San."
