Nice to see. There have been festivals near my manor all weekend. And also last weekend by the station and at the local 八幡神社. I ate 焼きそば made by a man in a 半被. My missus says "yippee" as we are glad to see the festivals starting again and get out and about.

Nice to see. And great weather for it. Samba has become a big part of street festivals in Kobe and Osaka too.

As AI has rendered me illiterate, as asked ChatGpt to express my thoughts on Samba festivals in Japan.

"In the vast tapestry of Tokyo's cultural endeavours, the Asakusa Samba Festival stands as a beacon to all things delightfully gauche. The festival, in its symphony of riotous colours and sounds, is undeniably a masterclass in the art of the unrefined. And then, amidst this kaleidoscope, one finds the saggy-assed middle-aged participants. Adorned in the most vivid makeup, their attempts at dance are reminiscent of epileptic turkeys performing atop a blistering tin stage. The Asakusa Samba Festival, it seems, is where elegance takes its leave and whimsical absurdity holds court"
