Owen, front row, far right, with local government and military officials, observe as sailors from Fleet Activities Yokosuka and local community members, march down Yokosuka Chuo Boulevard carrying a Japanese mikoshi during the 36th annual Yokosuka City Mikoshi parade held Oct. 21. In Shinto Buddhism a mikoshi is a vehicle to transport a deity between a main shrine and a temporary shrine during a festival or when moving to a new shrine. It is carried during Japanese festivals and holidays to bring good fortune to the local community. CFAY partners with host country sponsors to support a CFAY mikoshi bearing names of local commands and organizations. (Photo by Greg Mitchell, FLEACT Yokosuka Public Affairs Office)
