the candle festival 絵ろうそく祭り in Wakamatsu

３日土曜日、突然、友達に誘われて、鶴ヶ城で開催されている「絵ろうそく祭り」
に行ってきました。

陶器や竹、空き缶で作られた灯篭の中に、会津の絵ろうそくがともされ、ろうそくの暖かい光の群れがいっぱい、お城を囲んでいました。

雪が、全然なかったので、残念でした。

雪の中に火が灯ると、神秘的なんだよね～。

I went to
the Candle Festival in Aizu Wakamatsu on Saturday, the 3rd of Feb.

Wakamatsu is a famous place. It has special candles that have paintings.

There were many different styles. Some were set in ceramic, some were in bamboo, and some were in empty cans that surrounded Tsuruga Castle.

If we had snow, it would be a more mystic atmosphere.

However, it was a warm night.

My friends were walking so fast.

so, I couldn't have enough time to take pictures...
