cherry blossoms and horses

Monday, July 15, 2013

One more cherry blossom post! This festival was a few months ago but I still wanted to share it since it was so unique. Not only did they have beautiful blossoms but women competing in a tradtional archery contest. Their costumes were just beautiful despite the rain and mud. Starting with the blessing and procession.


The action


A couple of the champions



 And a few days later, the blossoms finally made their appearance!
