Karasu-zumo Festival
Here is a video of the Karasu-zumo festival. It shows two of the Shinto priests sitting in front of mounds of sand cawing like crows. Priceless. See the post below for more details. :)
Niwa niwa niwa niwa tori ga imasu. -- In the garden, there are two birds. Gochiso sama deshita. -- It was a feast! (Said, after a meal, in thanks.) O-temae chodai itashimasu. -- Thank you. I will partake in your tea and its preparation. (Said in a tea ceremony) Furu ike ya, kawazu tobikomu, mizu no oto -- Old pond, frog leaps, water sound (Famous Basho haiku)
