In the fall, many educational institutions in Japan invite the public onto their campuses for exhibitions of the talents and passions of their student bodies.
The National Defense Academy, located in the city of Yokosuka in Kanagawa Prefecture, holds its festivities of this type, called the NDA Anniversary Festival, in November, and one of the most highly anticipated events on the schedule each year is the botaoshi.
