This is my first Yamaga Lantern Festival. I didn't do any homework, and I went with a crazy piece of equipment with a tripod pear 85mm single focal length. I vowed to bring a telephoto lens with me this year.

In 2024, I went to see the Yamaga Lantern Dance for the first time. The dancers dancing in matching costumes with lanterns made of Washi paper on their heads were very nice.

This is the view of Odaiba and the bridge girder of Rainbow Yellowtail seen from Shibaura South Pier before sunset. The tower apartment dyed in sunset color and the rainbow yellowtail shone in gold and were very beautiful.

This is a photo of a nearby shrine. Scenes of culture being passed down from generation to generation.

I was doing construction work very close to Aoyama 1-chome Station. I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to see this cherry blossom from this place before this work started, and I thought that I wouldn't be able to see this cherry blossom once the building was built, so I took a picture. In the midst of the changing Traditional Japanese straw raincoat, there are some things that do not change. The cherry blossoms will bloom again next year, but I won't be able to see this view next year. I put such a feeling of impermanence into it.

Portugal Pavilion The Portuguese Pavilion was designed by Kengo Kuma, and the theme was "The Sea" The rope decoration is characteristic, and more than 9,000 ropes and fishing nets of different lengths and thicknesses are upcycled to express the sea swaying with the Scenes of the ropes fluttering in the wind. After seeing an exhibition using Nanban folding screens painted in the Edo period, you will enter the pavilion and introduce Japanese words derived from Portuguese, such as "bread" and "button". Portugal, which has a deep Gari connection with the sea, will stream Video efforts to protect the ocean. This video is so wonderful that you should definitely watch it. At the café in the pavilion, there is always a long line for the popular egg tart.

Location: Kamimikawa Town, Tochigi Prefecture Taken in early May On a walk with my cat Chai On the side of the road, there is a large number of "white clover" flower fields that I have not seen in the previous year...! Shooting with the sunset & with the cat 📸 A small view that shines in the Nature of Japan! Actually, this "white clover" Famous for its non-native species and abnormal reproduction. The reason why it is blooming so much this year is that a farmer in the neighborhood is conducting an experiment to see if it will increase if you give it plenty of sun. At a later date, I was ✋ driven by mowing the grass Beautiful plants and flowers that are often seen in daily life. The scenery I saw in this way was engraved with the history of "white clover" that has been breeding until now!

Wakazono Park Rose Garden 2-4 Masago, Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture Admission is free! During the rose season, I look forward to the rose garden in Wakazono Park every year.
