Hello, apologies if this type of question isn’t permitted, but I figured I’d try.
I got this T-shirt from the Nebuta Museum WA RASSE in Aomori. Depicted is a 金魚ねぶた(Goldfish Lantern/Nebuta). I’m curious as to what the phrase it’s “saying” (はか はか – I read this as haka haka) actually means – if anything.
From just some digging around online, it doesn’t seem to be an onomatopoeia or commonly used sound effect. There weren’t any staff nearby I could ask at the time, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
