Once again the day long Japanese street festival came the London. This year we saw performances of Iwami Kagura, with the Story of Orochi - The Giant Serpent and a unique take on the Shishimai odori ‘Lion Dance’ by Reiwa.

Despite the weather trafalgar square was packed as always but you’ll notice the umbrellas in the last few photos. ☔

Once again the Japan Matsuri held performances of traditional music and dance on a large stage behind Nelson’s column. We also saw acts from a comedic martial arts act and a ballet performance.

This day long street festival is held every year in Trafalgar square in September and is free to all.
