Another year, another Sanja Matsuri.
Once again, the idle monkey trainer got out for the fun and exercise of trying to carry a two ton portable shrine through the narrow streets of Asakusa. (Full disclosure, the mikoshi above was the smaller and more comfortable of the two carried that day.) And somehow among all the photographs taken of a Westerner in matsuri clothing, the idle monkey trainer managed to get the photograph below.

You look remarkably sober. Do they not stop at all the shops for sake out of square cups in Sanja or what?
Court, sorry of the late reply. Indeed, I look rather sober there. While they don't stop serving (How could they in this country?) the leader of the first mikoshi team that day does not allow drinking.
Not pictured is the beer I was given during the break on the second mikoshi.
