Jonkanoo is a fantastic masquerade, parade and street festival, suspected to be derived from the West African Papaws. It is traditionally performed through the streets towards the end of December, and involves participants dressed in a variety of fanciful costumes.

Think old historic homes. Think softly battered fishing vessels. Smell little fjord towns nestled in the the rocks. Remember little lost mittens. That's what this colorway brings to my mind - how about you?
