I fought the lawn

Misakubo is up in the mountains. It's a four hour train ride. Or a three hour cycle ride. But I trained up with Pin on Friday night, crashed at my friend Gillian's place and headed over to the festival on Saturday morning. Woken up early by an unknown man taking a very loud trimmer to the garden for an hour.

This particular matsuri was a disguise festival. Cue dragons, demons, sumo-dudes, bureaucrats, workmen, and cross-dressing.
