There are a lot of pictures this week. These are from the parade we went to in
Asakusa 2 weeks ago. I don't really know the story behind the parade, but I heard that this is the way high-dollar prostitutes came into town in the old days.
Asakusa was the entertainment district then. Look at how elaborate the hairstyles are.
This was a pretty day. I bet these girls were hot. There are a lot of layers going on here.
Before the parade started we had our favorite thing- festival food! This time it was sushi, curry, and (don't laugh) French fries. Everything was served by older local women. They loved Gen, of course. He got some free curry.
She was the main (maybe) prostitute. Check out her shoes below:
How
insane is that? They were walking
reeeallly slow, but I still would have broken my ankle. She had this way of walking where she would kind of scrape the sides of the shoe against the pavement.
Here are some of the more normal shoes. People still wear these occasionally.
The hair was incredible. I assume it was a wig.
