Bon Odori by NihonJin Kai 7/8 - Copenhagen Sakura Festival 2015

As seen through the lens of my old Canon Cam
Bon Odori by NihonJin Kai 7/8 - Copenhagen Sakura Festival
NihonJin Kai, stands for White Japanese, is a group that practices in Valby, Copenhagen!
Bon Odori is the Japanese celebration of the the deceased parents and ancestors. The music, songs and dances may differ from region to region and may be sacred or, with some sake, may be more spirited, or profane. The dancers perform certain gestures that may tell tales of the deceased, his/her profession, his/her likes etc...Flowery straw hats, or fans, or handkerchiefs, or lanterns are branded and used in the ceremony. The dancers may proceed clockwise or counter-clockwise, or even in a straight line, when going trough the streets! Usually they rotate around a Master of ceremony, here with the Taiko, the drum.
The Copenhagen Sakura Festival, this year, the eight, to celebrate the blossoming of the 200 Cherry trees, donated, 10 years ago, by a Japanese Businessman who made his fortune selling Danish Pastry in Japan!

I attend every year, and am always looking forward to hearing this amazing song again. Only wish I could get it on iTunes, only being able to hear one of your favorite songs twice a year is seriously a bummer.

Ryuju りゅうじゅ I understand, dear Ryuju. It is moving to enjoy the Sakura, in far away countries, like here, in Denmark. I think everyone loves to enjoy every occasion, when you can share with others and have a good time too. It was fun to be in the middle of it! Hail to Sake! And glad to share with you!
