Taiko-dai

 Taiko festival is my favorite holiday.My home town is Mishima, Ehime.
 It was held from October 21 through October 23 this year.
Do you know Taiko-dai（太鼓台）? Its like a portable shrine.(みこし)
But its so big and heavy!!

In October we thanks for a good harvest.My home town is famous for taro.
We sometimes eat it a one-pot dish cooked at the table.
Its name is Imotaki.(いもたき)This is local specialties.

The day would start with a street parade.The area's man carrry a portable shrine.
When I was a junior high school student,I carryed it.

Because it was a festival,there was a lot of food wagon.You can eat Yakisoba,Takoyaki,Frankfurter and so on!I like apple candy the best.

If you come to my home town,please enjoy Taiko festival!!
