灯籠流し TŌRŌ NAGASHI
Who: Everybody!
What: Tokyo Day Seven: lantern floating ceremony
When: Monday, 22/July -- evening
Where: Along the Sumida River
Rating: pretty x2
If you're outside tonight, you may see lights floating along the river that runs through Tokyo.
Upon closer inspection, you'll see that they're thousands of paper lanterns set adrift in small boats. Some of the lanterns are painted in bright, colorful designs, and some have names and messages written on them. Some are plain, but they're just as beautiful. In the wider parts of the river, there are even people rowing boats with oversized lanterns inside of them, mimicking the smaller, floating lanterns.
There are some vendors on the street who can sell you the materials to make your own. Or you can simply watch and enjoy.
[Learn more about the ceremony here and watch videos here. No sections this time, just mingle. :) This is the last Tokyo log -- it'll transform back to the castle grounds at midnight.]
