Motoki was supposed to decorate a lantern for the festival.
So we printed out pictures on shoji (rice paper) which he colored and glued to the lantern.
He's been wearing his new Pink Panther mask everywhere.
At the shrine it was time to change to Hapi coat.
This mobile shrine has lights and plays music. The kids get to take turns beating the drum as the shrine is pulled around the neighborhood.
Motoki was pulling a bit too hard, he got rope burns on his hand.
Since the festival was in the evening it was awesome to return to the shrine to see the lanterns all lit up!
Afterwards we went to the community house where the kids lined up for snacks and played games.
