The guy carrying the stool is also clicking wooden sticks- they make a very loud distinctive clave type of sound, so maybe they are made of rosewood. You can hear them at the sumo matches also. It is a very traditional Japanese sound.
It was fairly warm cool out, so these guys and gals were working hard and sweating. They were shouting repeatedly and stepping in rhythm.
You can't really see it, but the sun was setting behind them up the street. It was a stunning sight. The camera didn't do it justice.
This was the scene as I was walking home around 5:00 this afternoon.
