This is not the first time that Nebuta have been sent overseas. They have also been sent to various other places, such as the Sakura Festival in Hawaii and the 70th anniversary of Japanese immigration to Sao Paulo, Brazil. -- This is a view of the Nebuta from the back. This design is thought to come from the fact that Takeda Shingen (front) is known as the Tiger of Kai. August 19, 2007, Los Angeles, California
