高円寺びっくり大道芸 (Koenji Street Performance Festival)

This weekend was the Koenji Bikkuri Daidougei (Koenji Amazing Street Performance) festival. A couple of large public areas and about a dozen small spots off the sides of the street held performances all weekend. Groups came from all over the word to perform. I went for a while on Saturday.

There was an art fair that unfortunately wasn't very interesting...mostly amateur crafts.


Japanese belly dancers:


This guy had an interesting act...he had a Chinese opera mask that kept instantly changing color.

 

A Chinese juggler (or, at least, a juggler in Chinese monkey make-up). He was pretty good.

    I went there too on Saturday! :) But yes, it was a bit dissapointing. I was looking for some presents for my family and friends, but nothing was really worth it... At least the performances were fun, I enjoyed a lot the one that was just in front of the train station.
