As far as I know, this is a pretty unusual practice. I think there is only one other festival like this in Japan. The sculptures are impressive, but I suspect that they photograph a little better than they appear in real life. I could be wrong about that, though.

Mhmmm, just like that, Hugh... And i thought exactly the opposite. On the other hand it is no wonder that sometimes things in the images appear better than they are actually. And sometime reality can not be captured in all it's glory. It depends i suppose.
The magic of frames. If these sculptures were in a city, they would feel massive, like they do in the pictures. Being where they are, though, some of their size is lost to the open expanse of the park. The camera's frame limits that.
That might be the reason. Relativity :)
Definitely.
