Kumano Fude Matsuri Photos

The Fude Brush Festival is held in the small town of Kumano every year on the autumnal equinox, a national holiday in Japan, to give thanks to the product that has put the town on the map. It’s a festival everyone should try to experience at least once during their time in Hiroshima.
