Description
I really like this picture as I think it has a great atmosphere to it. The picture was taken at the Asakusa temple in Tokyo. The ornately decorated rakes are available to buy and are said to bring prosperity and wealth for the coming year.
The festival is held in mid-november.

Wow this picture is awesome! I can almost hear the many voices and bargains going on as well as smelling sweat and feeling the warm heat from all the bodies. Great job!
