Massive floats swerve through Osaka's streets
Floats weighing 4 tons rushed through the streets of Kishiwada City in Osaka on September 16 and 17. The Kishiwada Danjiri festival has been held for more than 300 years since the Edo period in hopes of a bountiful harvest. Drums pound and flutes play as people pull the behemoths around corners as fast as they can.
