Participants give one last war cry before marching off at the Kuragake Castle Festival in Kuga, Iwakuni, Japan, Nov. 22, 2015. The festival honors the local Kuga samurai who urged their castle lord to take a last stand against a much larger enemy force. According to event coordinators, U.S. participants in the 26th annual Kuragake Castle Festival boosted the spirit of the festival and made the stage performance one of their most highlighted events.
