Children carried "Mikoshi" or a portable shrine

  It was very hot. It had been raining during the night, but by the time dawn broke, it cleared and the temperature rose up very high. I don't know what this event means. The yearly festival of  the Tomakomai Tarumae Shinto Shrine will be held from the 14th to 17th of this month this year. I guess this children's event of carrying "mikoshi" used to be a part of  the Tarumae Shinto Shrine.
  The officials of our neighborhood association started preparations at 9:00 p.m. at our minipark. I had to work as the chairman of the executive committee. We pitched three big tents, carried chairs and tables, carried two mikoshi or portable shrines from the storage, and decorated them with ornaments of  red paper flowers, red and white ropes, etc, and put them on carts.
