On my way to art class, the sky along the river was beautiful. I wanted to stop and paint it.

 After class was over and we had all gone out to lunch together, we found that there was some kind of event going on in the pedestrian way in the the middle of Josenji Dori.

 We crossed at the traffic lights and started down the length of the walk. It was line with stalls where people were sell stuff. It is hard to describe what it was. There was lots of art work and jewelry and some cloth items, scarfs and things like that. There were also some things best described as knickknacks.

 This walk was has a stature in every block.

 It is hard to see, but it you look carefully you can see a drawing of a samurai warrior in the sand. The artist was doing live performances, using his hands as brushes.

There were also some groups who appeared to be preparing to perform traditional Japanese dances.
