Flower Hat Dancers
These were some of the participants in the Japanese Flower Hat Dance at the Cherry Blossom Festival at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden last weekend. I don't know the significance of the flower hat dance, but it was beautiful to watch and I believe they do it every year at the festival. It must be a rite of spring.

splendid these costumes and these colours. Today, I saw that it was the 50 years of lincoln to center, there is a holiday?
The cherry blossoms are a big thing in Japan ... neat group shot!
I googled "flower hat dance" and it provided me with a link back here! LOL! But also other links to the dance known as "hanagasa-ondo" or simply "hanagasa" and there is a video of the 2007 dance at the BBG on YouTube. Thanks for continuing to offer a bright photogrph and often something to learn each day as well, Lori!
