Kiriko

Posted by Phill (Kanazawa, Japan) on 24 August 2006 in Landscape & Rural.

This large contracption, weighing over a tonne, is carried around the streets by lots of Japanese who, as the day turns into, night, start running with it, and spinning it around, the more drunk they become. A very funny and dangerous spectacle.
