A Japanese festival in Montreal, featuring traditional music, dance, taiko performance, yukata rental and Japanese street food.
It started with a lifting and showcasing of the Japanese "ark of the covenant".
I didn't take much photos this year as it was very crowded and hard to get a good view, so here's some photo of last year's edition:
I used a Sony a77 camera, and the lenses are a Tamron 17-50 f2.8, Tamron 90mm f2.8, Minolta 500mm f8
Also, I've got back into making music after nearly a one year break; perhaps you'd care to listen to my version of the classical Japanese song "Sakura Sakura":
