Introduction
I spent two wonderful years in Tokushima, Japan. The summer months are wonderful as the city puts on a fabulous festival, "The Awa-Odori", (The Awa Dance), that attracts people from all over the country. The motto of the dance is simple:
A fool dances,
A fool watches,
Why not dance with us and be a fool!
If you ever get a chance to see and dance at the festival, you should. It is a wonderful time and you will never forget it.
The dance festival occurs in the month of August during the O-bon Holiday period; usually in the period of the 13th to the 15th.
