Elementary School Undokai
An Undokai is a school sporting event, held this time of year, throughout Japan.
They have relays, gymnastics and a tug o war but, my favorite part is the Eisa.
Only a small portion of the orchestra is visible in this GIF.
That's because, I'm up on a hillside, trying to get a good composition.
It was a blazing hot, sunny day which, reminded everyone of mid August.
The kids, down there are from Kin Elementary School. It was October 24, 1017.
The photographer, in this animation probably, got some great close-ups.
But, I was happy, being off the athletic field, taking my shots from a distance.
Actually, I was outside the school grounds and, I had a plan.
As soon as the Eisa was over, I'd be heading for some shade and, wouldn't run into a crowd.
It seemed like, two or three thousand people, were in attendance. The place was packed.
Twenty minutes of walking, had me back in an air-conditioned office, downloading cameras.
