Festival Masks

My kid talked me into buying her one of these 1500 yen cat masks and I don't entirely regret it. She did dance and bounce around the festival after that, and it's a special item she will treasure for a while. 

I was surprised to see these upscale masks at a vendor at Shiogama's port day festivities last week. Usually places like this sell a small variety of very cheap looking anime character masks to very young kids, but this one diversified the sizes, styles and prices.

I don't know if I'd buy it again, but my kiddo is still happy about it.
