What is the Danjiri Festival?

It's a festival where large hand-made carts are pulled through narrow streets to the beat of drums and the trill of flutes.

Take a look at some of my pictures from one of the most exciting festivals that I've been lucky enough to see. If you enjoy danger, this is the festival for you.
