Hasami Scarecrow Festival

Swimming in rice

Every year in Hasami, Japan, the area puts together a Scarecrow Festival. They can be about anything from traditional to political. The one of the swimmer has been there several years and is one of my favorites. This year there was a “crow” about swine flu and Michael Jackson. Last year they had an Olympic gymnast and newscasters. Driving up the mountain you are likely to encounter people working-to close to the street for me, then you realize that they are all apart of the displays! So if you are near Hasami during the first part of October be sure to come check out this fun event.
