At Kawagoe Kumano Shrine. Even though it was October, there were strips of Tanabata decorations. Among them, a strip of paper called "World Peace" caught my eye, so I took a picture of it. It is precisely because of this era of wars and conflicts that the culture of Tanabata of praying may be ingrained in our hearts. Because Japan is a country that has learned greatly from past wars, I pray that Japan will not be involved in a war.

This photo was taken at Ebie Seaside Park in Toyama Prefecture. The throwing of firefly Squid, which occurs when strict conditions are met from March to May, is rare in the world, and because it glows brightly, firefly Squid is often photographed.

It is a piece that pressed the shutter while feeling the Nature and culture that have been passed down from generation to generation. Taken around 4:30 in the morning.
