Bon Odori 2013 – Part 4
In the centre of the field is an elevated bandstand known as the yagura. Around it, in a cordoned area, is the first revolving circle of dancers. This is the more serious side or the business end of the festival.

Bon Odori 2013 – Part 3
You can say the Bon Odori dance is infectious when bystanders start dancing from the stands into the pitch.
Photography Tip: While the crowd is your centrepiece here, include little elements that enhance the story when you compose the picture. The lanterns represent festivities and the stadium’s grandstand indicates the scale of the celebrations. A tilted angle complements the chaos and energy.
