The blue robes are called happi. We thought the symbol was one for the local shrine or organization. But then we saw it at a festival on the other side of Tokyo so now I'm not sure. Perhaps it is a symbol of a kind of shinto or organization. There are different kinds of shinto (inari, etc.), but I believe that happi was put out by our local Nishiwaseda organization. Hi Jewell,
