Carneval de Tokyo?

Perhaps tokyo also needs, like every other large city in the world, some festivals. One of these festivals has particularly much rhythm and colour magnificence - the Asakusa Samba Festival! Beside many Japanese people and tourist being obsessed of taking pictures, Japanese and mainly Brasilian samba groups compete at this place. If you want to take a picture, you have to force yourself to stay calm, because the rhythm shakes your whole body... if you have enough space to move. Some pictures for you...
