Asakusa celebrated the 37th Samba Carnival 2018 this weekend. Wow, it
was fun and beautiful....the most dazzling parade I’ve seen so far. No
kidding. It’s quite an array of colorful costumes, creative floats,
artistic/creative choreography of dance and carnival music with high
energy. The dancers are quite entertaining and friendly with smiles and
kisses! It’s a fantastic carnival that both performers and spectators
really enjoy.
Connecting the dots, Japan has a close relationship with
Brazil....Brazil has the largest Japanese diaspora in the world....so,
it makes sense Tokyo has such an amazing carnival as its relative Rio’s
in Brazil does!
If you happen to be in Tokyo in summer(late August), Asakusa Samba
Carnival is a must see for sure!... it's a galore of creative samba
floats, energetic marching bands and beautiful dancers with dazzling
costumes with colorfully feathered head dresses. TWO THUMBS UP!!
