Can the Matsuri survive?
Quote:

For many smaller festivals that lack willing organizers and resources, COVID-19 and the restrictions imposed on gatherings were the final nail in the coffin. The annual Bon odori festival in the town of Tanashi in western Tokyo, for example, has been canceled permanently as of this year. And for those that weathered the health crisis, this summer is the first real test of whether these traditional matsuri — considered a key tourism draw by the government — can have life drummed back into them.
