Tenjin Matsuri --- in Osaka is one of the top three festivals in Japan. This festival started a thousand years ago, it usually began on the 24th and ends on the 25th of July. The said festival is dedicated to Sugawara Michizane of the Tenmangu Shrine, who is said to be the god of learning and art.

Gray skies and a chilly weather was what welcomed us when we stepped out from our workplace as we trudged along towards our destination for that afternoon. Despite the weather, it didn't stopped nor hinder us to pursue the said activity. After all, it was planned a month ago, no rain or strong wind can stop our date (Well, except for emergencies and thankfully there weren't any.whew!) and so onward we go.
