Wasshoi is the most famous festival chant in Japan. It is mainly used when people carry a festival float. The origin of the wasshoi chant is said to be a Japanese phrase meaning “Carry Peace” or “Carry a Ring”; “wa” in “wa-sshoi” can mean both “peace” and “ring.”

It would have been me had I not spent the summer in Phoenix getting credits at ASU. As it was, I took part in demonstrations out there, too.

I was 18 that summer but riveted to the TV. We were pissed. Our friends were being drafted and the nightly news told us how many had died. It was so depressing that we were in the minority. The war made no sense to us.
