As I wrote last year (http://www.tenkai-japan.com/2011/07/18/tohoku-rokkon-festival-being-held/) , the first one of this special festival started being held last year in order to console and encourage sufferers of the 3.11 East Japan disaster and to raise morale and energy of people to stick together to overcome the damages of the ordeal and to rebuild the damaged areas. This year again, a lot of visitors, as well as the dancers there, are enjoying the splendid and exciting joint exposure of the six major Tohoku festivals, their zeal,and passion. So many people are gaining power and vitality to keep going on.
