These excited young men are taking part in a festival in the Konda district of the city of Tokyo on April 7, 1949, sponsored by a small restaurant owner in the locality (who also had all the concessions cornered). They are carrying the neighborhood’s shrine on their shoulders, all the time jumping up and down and chanting. (AP Photo/Charles P. Gorry) Ref #: PA.11400209
