30 Jan 2012 ~ Parade Part 2 ~ Big Red Fish

Listening to: Desmond Dekker ~ Fu Manchu

Double Birthday Wishes Day!



This giant red fish -- Kunchi Sea Bream -- was brought in for the parade from the city of Karatsu, in the Saga prefecture in Japan. This float was constructed in 1845.

There was a big contingency crowd from Japan in our seating section. Of the 15 floats, I think this was the coolest. (It's a short clip, about 1.30 minutes).
