nebuta floats
Sunday, September 9, 2012
A few weeks ago we attended the Nebuta Festival. I'm still (yes still!) unpacking so I'm just getting these up, sorry. Remind me never to move again if it can be helped. Anyways, I wanted to share these less so for the awe factor of the floats but more for the vibrant colors and patterns that are hand painted on paper and would make gorgeous inspiration for fabrics and prints.

Hi Ann, These apparently are made the same way as the Chinese lanterns featured at New Year that I posted on before - http://roadtoparnassus.blogspot.tw/2012/02/lantern-festival-taipei-2012.html
As always, the Japanese attention to detail is amazing, and they bring these to a high level of artistry. I never saw the Chinese lanterns used as floats in a parade, but that seems a perfect way to display them.

That is exactly the post I thought of when the parade started!
