You’ll find matsuri all over Japan, throughout the four seasons.
Each matsuri is unique — in form, formality, faith, fun, and local culture.
Some are solemn religious rituals; others test bravery, celebrate community, share happiness.
Despite differences, matsuri are alike in one way. All reflect Japanese tradition, handed down over generations.
