The names of this Japanese island - Shikoku - means "four provinces". As you can see this card arrived from the one called Tokushima. Megan, who lives on the island, recommended that if I ever go there, I should dance at the Awa Odori (dance festival), that you can see on this postcard. It is the biggest dance festival in Japan, and second biggest in the world! The one in the city of Naruto is held the earliest in the prefecture and it has a history of over 400 years.

This is actually not the only postcard from Megan, the next one will be posted here very soon! Thank you so much Megan for showing the beauty of your island :)!

Here you can also read more about the Awa Odori festival in Tokushima.
