A Tunnel of Cherry Blossoms and a Hint of Dandelions…

Summer Vacation Down by the River
A retreat from the crowds and an escape into nature to avoid the feeling of isolation caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Summer feels just a little bit cooler while splashing around in a river hidden in the mountains! The sun shines through the trees like a spotlight on the children frolicking in the river.

Good Old Japan... Watermelon on the Porch and a Cute Mosquito Coil
A shot of the Japanese countryside, taken at Aina Satoyama Park. It was also the location for the Rurouni Kenshin live-action film. The hanging onions, old-fashioned lanterns inside the rooms, and dog lying on the ground creates an atmospheric scene like something out of a Japanese painting.

Splashing About in Tokyo
Children splash around with water guns in their hands under the summer sun. It's a scene that would make even the adults watching over them somewhat envious.
Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Park is just outside the west exit of Ikebukuro Station. Located in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space, it's a place where many people come and go and various events are held there as well.

Location: A Mikan Orchard in Tsukuihama (Yokosuka, Kanagawa)
Mikan Picking in Tsukuihama
In Japan, mikan are a common sight when the weather gets cold. Many children probably don't even know that mikan grow on trees. This photo captures a child enjoying picking fruit while surrounded by nature. The excitement can be seen in her eyes. Nothing tastes better than a freshly picked mikan straight from the tree!

The Excitement After Getting Your Picture Taken on Shichi-Go-San
Shichi-Go-San is a traditional Japanese rite of passage for three- and seven-year-old girls, and 5-year-old boys. Featured here is a 7-year-old girl excited after getting her pictures taken while wearing a kimono, obi, and a hairstyle that she would have been particular of. A professional photo taken at a studio is something to treasure, but a photo where you can let loose and enjoy the moment is something special.

Snow Shoveling After Playing in the Snow
Children in areas that don't get much snow tend to be fascinated by the winter wonderland they see after opening their windows. After playing in the snow 'til their cheeks are bright red, they're eager to help with the snow shoveling! Their hard work shows how proud they are of their efforts.

A Little Oni With a Rattle Drum in Hand
The custom of bean-throwing during Setsubun, a traditional Japanese event, is said to drive away evil spirits and bring good fortune. At nursery schools and other events, children can be seen throwing beans at the ogres, saying, "Out with demons! In with fortune!"
However, the oni in this photo is so cute that you might be tempted to just give him a handful of beans. This is a photo of a cute little oni walking around in a good mood while spinning his rattle drum.
