No hi ha res com despertar-se amb un bon matsuri! Durant el matsuri o festival Japonès tradicional la gent (normalment homes pel que he vist) porten un mikoshi a les espatlles. Els mikoshis segons m'han comentat són temples sintoístes en petit, amb una decoració molt destacable que el seguidors sintoístes van a buscar al temple del barri i després el passegen per tots els carrers on representa que arriba la divinitat. Així doncs seria com una festa religiosa tot i que jo diria que la gent ho fa més per la tradició que representa ja que fa molt temps que es fa en cada barri on hi ha un gran temple.
Nothing else better that waking up with a good Matsuri! During a traditional matsuri or Japanese festival people (usually men for what I've seen) carry a mikoshi on their shoulders. A mikoshi for what I've understood is a small version of a Shinto shrine, very well decorated that the shinto followers take from the temple in their neighborhood and carry it around the streets that worship at the shrine. So it would be a kind of religious celebration although I would say that nowadays most people do it for the tradition it represents rather anything else.
