This is a re-enactment of a famous battle in Japanese history. There were some people from other countries in the battle procession dressed as samurai and fighters. It was an interesting mix of cultures.  Xiyu and I watched the re-enactment together. Although it was all in Japanese (in fact in old-style Japanese which is even difficult for me to understand), Xiyu could see the outline of what was going on. Even though there were some things she misunderstood, it was  still amazing. I want to stress that Xiyu has no real knowledge of Japanese. I was so amazed by the fact that human's have the ability to interpret things without knowing the language.
