"The Beginning of the Flame Dance" Onisube One of the three major fire festivals in Japan. It is said that it was started in the 2nd year of Kanwa (986) by Sugawara no Michishinko's great-grandson Sugawara no Michishinko. It is a sacred ritual of extinguishing calamity and fire to exterminate demons, which is a symbol of calamity, It is a festival where many worshippers pray for happiness for the whole year to the huge flame that burns every year.

Was in Kanda the other day for an errand and stopped by this place called "Soba Dokoro Kameya" (そば処 かめや) outside of Kanda Station. It says "立食い" which means "standing noodles," but I didn't actually see any places to stand and eat so maybe it just meant that it was simple and quick like a standing noodle shop. I've never actually experienced what it's like to eat at a standing noodle restaurant (and actually stand while eating) but I think I prefer sitting anyways. I like to relax when I eat so I suppose that's why, but I should at least try it once, who knows, I might like it. Anyways, the place seems really affordable. I ordered the Ten Tama Soba since it was the most popular dish and it tasted great. The soup was really good and the egg was perfectly cooked. The texture of the noodles was also perfect. It's definitely a place to check out if your in the Kanda area and looking for some noodles. I think they may only be open during the morning and night, but I went around 4pm so maybe they close around that time to prepare for dinner.

I photographed Mt. Nakadake from Tengugajo Castle in the Kuju mountain range in Oita Prefecture. The view from the top of the mountain is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and various expressions are shown by sunlight and clouds.

This photo was taken in the Kuju mountain range, Oita Prefecture. The frozen pond near the top of the mountain was beautiful. There are many times when you can't see anything at the top of the mountain due to fog, but the excitement when you carry heavy equipment to the summit and see the superb view is tremendous!

Driving on the Yamanami Highway in Aso On a golden pampas grass I was fascinated and stopped the car I immediately released the shutter.

This is one photo taken on the promenade in Fukuoka Prefecture. I was fascinated by the red that began to change color at the beginning of autumn and took a picture. Instead of just taking pictures of colored trees, I made the photos interesting by shooting similar colors such as "green and red electric lights on the ground" and "green leaves and leaves starting to turn red." There are many things in everyday life that look interesting from a different perspective.

Rice ears and you shine shiny He says this is his first rice harvesting experience. This young lady is unfamiliar at first, and I am anxiously in my heart. I was talking, but maybe because I'm young, in less than an hour. I was working hard to harvest new rice to make a crispy offering to God. It's been hard and hard to work all the time. While answering with a smile, she successfully performed the ritual. Such a healthy smile of accomplishment to everyone!

At Mt. Hakushi in Oita Prefecture, I photographed the morning sun and pampas grass. It's been hot for a long time, but the pampas grass feels like autumn and makes you feel the flow of the seasons. I released the shutter with that in mind.

Lake Kinrin (Oita) The water temperature is high and you can see a fantastic scenery with steam rising from the surface of the lake in the early morning.
