BLOG 8.  “Writer doll on the karakuri chariots in the storehouse”

I visited the storehouse of Hotei-sha in the night. Such chariots are commonly maintained by the preservation society of each town. Members of the society were preparing the chariot for the festival.
Also, at the room of the rear part of the warehouse, young members trained music accompaniment for the karakuri performance of the chariot.
