Probably for childrens festival 7-5-3.
Offerings
These lanterns were put up for the special 50th year anniversary of the rebuilding of Meiji Shrine and the Annual Meiji Shrine Autumn Festival (Oct. 31 to Nov. 03).
Sadly I didn’t know about it and I missed it even though I saw some of the lanterns outside the shrine on Omotesando while I was having dinner nearby on Sunday night.
Thank you Taro - I asked around but nobody could tell me why the lanterns were there. My crappy keitai photo doesn’t do justice to the impressive display that it is.
I loved the changing colored lights in the background. It was a huge wall of them and all sponsored by Omotesando businesses, it looked like.
