お祭りの終わり

面白うて、やがて哀しき・・・
３日続いた江戸天下祭が終わり、町はまた静かな夕暮れを迎え。
Interesting, exciting, and then somewhat melting. The end of a festival.
The three-day Great Edo Festival was over. The shrine is now again in a calm evening twilight.




沢山の芸者さんと一緒に花火を見上げた広場、もう誰もいない。
The plaza in front of the shrine where many beautidul Geisha-girls were looking up fireworks. Now nobody is here.




観客で埋まっていた仮設舞台の前、またあの賑わいが戻るのはいつの日か・・・
There was a large audience in front of a temporary stage. What would be the next time to see them again….
