Magnificent video! Very interesting to see this festival with the performance of drummers, national dances, national costumes and beautiful music. Thank you very much, dear friend Thomas! I really like and expect to continue!)) Have a happy new week! Greetings from Russia!
Thank you very much dear Natalya - I am happy you liked it. Haha... thank you very much, I will "continue", but next video will be a very different type of video from a very new and modern place! ^_- Best wish to you from me in Japan..... Thomas
This is wonderful Thomas! I love the kimonos and yukatas and the dances! Awesome! I love watching the ways and customs of other cultures! Thanks for sharing.
The beautiful sounds of the festival and traditional music, the traditional clothing and especially the kimono. Another great video. Looked a bit crowded but not too crowded.
This festival looks interesting and fascinating to me. I very much enjoy watching the drumming scene. I also very much appreciate the participation of the older generation in this festival, by performing those (old) traditional Japanese dances. Absolutely charming ! Thank you for showing us this example of Japanese culture, Thomas !
Yet another wonderful video about this amazing shrine and festival......superb footage brilliant quality and so interesting to watch....thank you for sharing this with us...
Congratulations on a brilliant presentation Thomas. Superb camera angles that more than compensates for the ok-ish sound. Loved every second of it my friend. :-) Keep those videos comin :-)
Hey James, Thanks so much for your (too) kind comment. (the check is in the mail ^_-) - Nah seriously, pleased you liked it, despite the less than average sound. Have a great new week James.... Best regards, Thomas
This video is so beautiful! It looks totally different from the last one at night. The festival looks so exciting and fun and the drum play was very powerful. The drummers looked like they were having good time, not just a task to do. I love kimono and yu kata, I'll find a chance to wear it one day. (so many plan and promises to myself in all your videos ^^) If don't count the sound problem, which I totally understand, everything is perfect. Great job Thomas! Gail
Yasukuni is not for war. Yasukuni was built for victims of Meiji restoration's domestic war. 13,562 soldiers included both side. After Meiji restoration Yasukuni enshrined 2,620,000 military victims included Russian, Taiwaneese, Chinese, Korean, German, so many nationalities. Also enemy was not discreaminated to be enshrined. German died at Jingdao battle as Japan and Germany war in1914 at jingdao of China.Some of German PW stayed in Japan as it was. Descendants live in Japan even now.
i am still fascinated by the drumming part, specially the young man you were focusing on in the beginning and end - it looks like it really was a spiritual experience for him. The dance performance is also very nice, but the very best part is the last, with everyone, young and old, participating. It communicates an indescribable feeling of unity. Thanks again for posting these wonderful videos!... ma
netwitch56 Of course not. i do not know anything about Japan or Japanese culture. Just beginning to learn a little bit (as much as my time allows) by Thomas's videos:-)
You have no idea how i LOVE this video! The traditional dress is so beautiful. In my view Japanese Kimono and Indian Sari are the most refined and and beautiful ladies' dress ever. If you have a video showing a lot of Kimonos somewhere in your hundreds of uploads, please send me the link... if not, please make one :-))
This was a real good one to watch. Loved the drums and singing. The dancing was cool. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Have a wonderful day. Take care.
En sådan magnifik festival! Man riktigt känner feststämningen och alla är så vackert klädda. Och du vet, Thomas, att jag föredrar genuint ljud framför pålagd musik. Först då får man en äkta känsla av att befinna sig mitt i allt det fantastiska, som du alltid visar upp i dina filmer. :-)
great vid Thomas! really nice to see those boys playing the drums and the ladies dancing barefoot and lots of elderly people and even children dancing traditional dances...Japan so modern and so traditional I´d say Japan live in the future but never forget the past.
Hi Thomas, beautiful four day holiday, love the dancing, drums, kimonos and the happy feeling of the video, it's a wonderful thing to be able to see the culture/traditions of others, fantastic job, you always do a great job filming, wishing you a happy week, Lexi :)
I discovered this extraordinary festival. the atmosphere is great: : the crowd, the musicians, the " real " sound... Thank you very much Thomas. This wonderful video is added to my playlist." Musiques et images du monde " Warm friendship.from Lille Claire
Fantastic video of the festival, the shrine, and the celebration. I like the fact that you took a picture of someone, who was using their cell phone to take a picture. The traditional outfits are awesome. Thomas, this is added to our Culture Channel. Enjoy the day. Mike W. & Brad
It is very similar you sand me last time...yes, there are a lot of people! Lovely video! Thank's for sharing dear Thomas! Beautiful presentation! Thank you! Have a nice day! *************************
Dear Agi, I hope it IS similar, as it IS from the same place - just in the daytime, haha... Glad you liked it and thank you for stopping by - I appreciate it. ^^ Have a great new week.... Thomas
Hi Nancy Marie, I'm delighted you enjoyed watching this little peep on the Matsuri festival. Thanks very much for your kind comment. ^^ Best regards, Thomas
Ein wunderschönes Video .Kompliment ******* das hast Du wieder sehr gut gemacht Thomas! Ich habe mir Dein kleines Kunstwerk sehr gerne angeschaut… sehr interessant die Japanischen Tänze die Mitama Matsuri am Tag. Was mich auch beeindruckt, ist die hohe Besucherzahl! Danke fürs zeigen lieber Thomas. Freundschaftliche Grüße. Rose-Marie
Good evening Thomas, and thank you for this very, very wonderful video. I love the atmosphere of a matsuri so much, and it was so nice to see everyone enjoying a good time. Fantastic work as always Thomas. "Thumbs up" ^__^
Goodevening to you as well purple woman! ^_- Very happy you liked the atmosphere of this place, and yes, it was fun to see 3 (sometimes 4) generations "dancing to the same song". And most amazing of all, if there had been a festival with so many people in the west, you can be sure there would have been some kind of violense or fight during those 4 days with so many people... but here... nothing. ^_-
Very interesing video relation, Thomas. When I watched it I felt like I was there. I think there was a little too much close up shots, but I can handle with it :) Best regards! Greg.
Awesome video of Mitama Matsuri festival, dear friend! The drumming part was so powerful and impressive and all the other parts of the show were also great! Thank you for sharing. It was very interesting to see this festival. Have a great week ahead, my dear friend! :)
Thanks you so much dear 35X for your most kind comment, I appreciate you took the time watching & commenting. ^_~ Warm regards with thanks from Japan.... Thomas
Wonderful video again, Thomas...but it's becoming a habit now ! Your videos are so refreshing, different and enjoyable...a pleasure to watch !....Jagdish
Great video..i liked to see the palying..i have not seen that before...your dances are interesting..we have had here dance groups from Japan.. i have seen them..i like that they are not in hurry as we are in dance many times.,,thank you Thomas for your videos...Mirja..
Hello Mirja, Haha.. yes you are right, they are absolutely NOT in a hurry dancing. ^^ And I think that is also the reason it's a good "dance" for elderly people! Thank you so much for watching, I'm happy you liked it. Best regards, Thomas
Wow! It's wonderful video, Thomas! Thank you very much and I got impression the performance of the taikos are very good, moreover they look very young (university students or something like that?) and happy, enjoying their own play. :)
Dear Thomas, i am TOTALLY THRILLED and TOUCHED TO TEARS. i'll come back and write more once after watching a few more times. Could have done with a MUCH LONGER glimpse. HUGS... Ma
Dear Ma, Thanks very much for having a look at this "TOO SHORT" glimpse, haha.. I'm delighted you enjoyed it.... Many thanks my friend. Best regards from Japan - wishing you a lovely new week..... Thomas
Great video Thomas ... Absolutely super atmosphere .I lik the fact they keep their customs , rather more so say than the British do .. Did I recommend to you the amazing novel The Samurai's Garden ? written by a lady half Japanese half Chinese.Is my favourite book ....
Hi Helena and thanks very much for your lovely comment. (am I repeating myself??) >_< Yes indeed, that is one of the things I admire here, people stick to tradition WITHOUT being fanatic about it... tradition/modern & formal/casual at the same time.... that is Japan! No, haven't read that one. (I have to look it up and find some reviews of it... - thanks for the tip) ^_- Have a great week and thanks again..... Thomas
Agreed... the taiko's the highlight to me as well. (but my mic is pretty depressed about them, haha...) ^_- Take it easy and have a great week.... Thomas
A great day indeed ! Are the theatre plays always played only by men ? And sorry if I'm curious but the "dance" at the end looks like Taï shi shuan ( but faster), is it almost the same ? Excellent documentary my dear Thomas. Have a nice week J
Dear J, Thanks so much - and thanks for watching that day that also happened to be "my great day" - happy you liked it ^_- Oh yes, that specific dancing-ceremony is called "Bon Oodori" and is dedicated to the spirits of the ancestors. (I can see why you find it similar to Tai Shi) It was quite fun to watch, it starts with only the elderly woman at the stage "dancing" in a circle, then after a while, more and more circles of festival-goers makes new circles around them. (it started with only 1 circle, and ended with 5 or 6.... - Good sports!) Best regards, Thomas
Oh does it now? LOL.... 1. I am not Japanese. 2. You don't really have a case, you are just one of those ppl who're unable to move on, and occasionally pops by to spread a little hate. 3. I take it you're either chinese or korean. (those are usually the ones with an attitude like yours, still, mysteriously they flock to Japan, because deep down they love visiting a civilized country.)
I've never been to, or lived in a better country, than Japan. Very kind and friendly people everywhere, civilized, very well organised and with an extremely low crime rate. I can only think of minor things I dislike here in Japan. That's it. And oh btw, I'll make a new video of this years mitama matsuri at the Yasukuni shrine next month, I'll even dedicate it to you.
PS. One more thing: Why is it, if you have so much against Japan, why do you search for, and watch videos like this one? I mean, I don't search for things I don't like, to watch, and comment negatively. Do you have this idea, that you can "convince" people that your opinion is the one and only true one, or something like that?
Its so strange for me to look this - its a completely different culture in Japan - I don´t understand what that traditional festival means - but it is very interesting for me to watch that video!
Thank you very much.... I can guess this must appear to be rather random - even strange - but you can be sure, everything has a meaning. ^_- I am glad you liked it, thank you for watching! Best regards, Thomas
super performance der trommler! mit leib und seele sind sie dabei übrigens: die tänze der frauen interessiert mich. ich habe mal gehört, das es für die tanzenden frauen ,,pflicht,, sei kleine schritte zu machen. das soll anmut und weiblichkeit darstellen. ist das richtig? oder vertu´ich mich da?

動画アップありがとうございます。
地方に住むものとしては、簡単に出かけられませんから、テレビで特集されるのを待つわけですが、悲しいかな、日本の多くのメディアは”カネにならない日本は嫌い”ですので、ここでこうして見られることに感謝しています。
そして、海外の方々が、声の大きい国の主張だけじゃなく、静かに平和裏に祀りをとり行い、御霊に感謝する「日本の心」を理解されることを願って止みません。
Really interesting festival Thomas,what a place,what a crowd,everything different,everything so interesting,enjoyed;)
Superb video Thomas.....really great to see celebration!!:)
Awesome video of Mitama Matsuri festival, dear friend! The drumming part was so powerful and impressive and all the other parts of the show were also great! Thank you for sharing. It was very interesting to see this festival. Have a great week ahead, my dear friend! :)

Thank you very much Tom - happy to hear from you. ^^
Great video Thomas ... Absolutely super atmosphere .I lik the fact they keep their customs , rather more so say than the British do .. Did I recommend to you the amazing novel The Samurai's Garden ? written by a lady half Japanese half Chinese.Is my favourite book ....

Man I love matsuri especially the taiko drums.

Excellent!! Thumbs up! ...116
Прекрасное видео !!! Спасибо !
A great day indeed ! Are the theatre plays always played only by men ? And sorry if I'm curious but the "dance" at the end looks like Taï shi shuan ( but faster), is it almost the same ? Excellent documentary my dear Thomas.
Have a nice week
J
Dear J, Thanks so much - and thanks for watching that day that also happened to be "my great day" - happy you liked it ^_- Oh yes, that specific dancing-ceremony is called "Bon Oodori" and is dedicated to the spirits of the ancestors. (I can see why you find it similar to Tai Shi) It was quite fun to watch, it starts with only the elderly woman at the stage "dancing" in a circle, then after a while, more and more circles of festival-goers makes new circles around them.
(it started with only 1 circle, and ended with 5 or 6.... - Good sports!)
Best regards,
Thomas
Great video !
Cheers Pat - many thanks.
Thomas
cool video
Beautiful!!!
Oh does it now? LOL.... 1. I am not Japanese. 2. You don't really have a case, you are just one of those ppl who're unable to move on, and occasionally pops by to spread a little hate. 3. I take it you're either chinese or korean. (those are usually the ones with an attitude like yours, still, mysteriously they flock to Japan, because deep down they love visiting a civilized country.)
I've never been to, or lived in a better country, than Japan. Very kind and friendly people everywhere, civilized, very well organised and with an extremely low crime rate. I can only think of minor things I dislike here in Japan. That's it. And oh btw, I'll make a new video of this years mitama matsuri at the Yasukuni shrine next month, I'll even dedicate it to you.

Hi, my friend Thomas. This is very interesting video, I really like. Thumbs up! Many greetings :) Slavo
Very fascinating! I've never seen anythuing like that :) really impressive ;)
Its so strange for me to look this - its a completely different culture in Japan - I don´t understand what that traditional festival means - but it is very interesting for me to watch that video!
Thank you very much.... I can guess this must appear to be rather random - even strange - but you can be sure, everything has a meaning. ^_-
I am glad you liked it, thank you for watching!

Awesome
Hey YOU! Long time no see ^_- Thanks for dropping by.....
Thomas
great vid my friend!!! th-up!!
nice event, cool video =)
super performance der trommler! mit leib und seele sind sie dabei
übrigens: die tänze der frauen interessiert mich. ich habe mal gehört, das es für die tanzenden frauen ,,pflicht,, sei kleine schritte zu machen. das soll anmut und weiblichkeit darstellen. ist das richtig? oder vertu´ich mich da?
th-up 👍 100, wow it's awesome !
SUPER
Thank YOU my friend. ^_-
BEAUTIFUUUUUUL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fajny pokaz. Pozdrawiam
今年の靖國も暑かったですね。
Das ist für uns Europäer schon interessant. Die Besucherzahl war hoch wie ich sehe. LG Dietmar
Thank you very much Dietmar, and yes, 300.000 people visited this matsuri.
Wow.
LG？
ultraryman LG is short for "loving regards" in german.
Danke!
靖国の動画、ありがとうございます。日本ではこのお祭りの様子はテレビで流さないのでユーチューブができて本当に良かったと思っています。
靖国に関しては日本のメディアが一番五月蝿いですが多くの日本人にとっては大切な場所です。
日本はキリスト教と違い生善説なんですね。生きている間の環境により、人はどんなものにもなりうる。だから穢れを嫌い、ピュアなものを好む。日本人が子供っぽいと言われるのもこんな理由じゃないかと思います。
そして死んでしまえば、生きている私たちがその罪を問うことは出来なません。その感覚は諸外国、特に中国人や韓国人にもわからないので、こんなにもめるのだと思います。無宗教と言われる日本人の無意識の宗教的感覚です。(^^)
私はまだ参拝したことはありませんが、参拝することがあれば、彼らの死の結果、今の平和があることを感謝し、奉られてある方々が行った罪や犠牲がもう二度と起こらない環境を作っていきたいと願うことになります。そして世界が平和であるよう願う場所でもあります。
「靖国で会おう」と言って戦禍に出向いた方々に感謝し平和を願うというのは外国人には理解しにくいのでしょうね。
主人は三年前に初参拝致しました。友達の在日韓国人の方に連れていってもらいました。国と人は違いますからね。
