Haiku about Summer (12)




I visited Goshogawara City(五所川原市), Aomori(青森), where I enjoyed the Goshogawara Tachinebuta (五所川原たちねぶた), "Goshogawara Nebuta Festival".


"Nebuta" refers to the float of a brave warrior-figure which is carried through the center of the city, while dancers wearing a unique type of costumes called haneto (ハネト)prance around in time with the chant Yattemare (ヤッテマレ) .




Nebuta floating ―


Mt. Shirakami into


the darkness




たちねぶた白神山は闇の中


Tachinebuta Shirakamisan wa yami no naka






Tachinebuta


mountain gods floating on


the dark street




たちねぶた山の神々練り歩く


Tachinebuta yama no kamigami neri aruku






― Hidenori Hiruta
