Not even the incoming threat of Typhoon Faxai’s landfall on Sunday, Sept. 8, could dampen the spirits of those celebrating the annual Kitazawa Hachiman Festival. The joy of the “mikoshi” (portable shrine) bearers was palpable as they grinned and gritted their way through the crush of the crowd to deliver each Shinto deity to the main shrine in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo. 📸: Kendrea Liew @ninesnaps
