Photos by Michael Yamashita yamashitaphoto | May is normally a major month for festivals on the Japanese calendar. Here’s a glimpse of Sanja Matsuri (Three Shrine), one of Tokyo’s most popular festivals. The festival will be back this month after a hiatus since 2019. Here people jam the grounds of Sensoji Temple, surrounding the mikoshi (portable shrines). Competitive neighborhood groups vie for the chance to carry the mikoshi, receiving good luck and prosperity in return. #sanjamatsuri #matsuri #festivalseason
