The Awa odori dance was born centuries ago in Tokushima Prefecture on the southern island of Shikoku, but now the bustling neighborhood of Koenji in western Tokyo has claimed it as its own. On Aug. 24-25, thousands of performers and around 1 million people gathered for the Koenji Awa Odori, which is one of the biggest summer festivals in the city. 📸: @ryuseitakahashi217
