The Ogaki Festival is held in the samurai town of Ogaki and has a long history that dates back to the Edo period. Thirteen floats are paraded across town during the festival and are considered moving pieces of art. Decorated with minuscule carvings, gorgeous embroidered banners, silver, and mother-of-pearl inlays, they truly are a marvelous sight to behold! How will Irene, a photographer from Argentina, capture the Ogaki Festival's beautiful scenery?
