In our city, there are big festivals!
They are called "shishimai" and "kagyu" festivals. "Shishimai" means lion dance. "Kagyu" means lighting cattle fire. Ka means fire and gyu means cow. It is a very famous festival in our city.
It is very interesting and exciting.
So people look forward to these festivals every year.
Well then,
I would like to pass on information about "shishimai" and "kagyu festival".
