Photo taken on September 30 red spider liliies before the morning sun rises on the Yakachi River in Handa City, Aichi Prefecture Shooting with smartphone lighting I was able to take a nice collaboration between the sunrise and the red spider liliies.

red spider liliies of the Tsuya River. This year, the heat was so severe that I couldn't take a picture of the entire bank in bright red.

Signaling the arrival of autumn red spider liliies It's a sight to behold. I took a retrograde photo with an old lens This taste that can only be served with old lenses It's one of the best in the world. The location will be shooting at the Gojo River in Oguchi Town.

The Oi Shrine Grand Festival is also called the "Obi Festival" and is a festival in which the god of Oi Shrine returns to the old shrine site (inn) once every three years. Today, for three days including the second Sunday in October, a gorgeous festival is held in the town of Shimada where dainu, daimyo processions, Kashima odori, street stall dances from 1st Avenue to 5th Avenue, and ground dances are held. Especially on the last day, all of them form a large procession together with the mikoshi procession, and they slowly parade for a whole day for a round trip of about 4 km from Oi Shrine to the inn. Due to the appearance and swing of the dainu at this time, as well as the unique form of Kashima Odori, the obi festival has come to be counted as one of the three strange festival in Japan. In addition, since the Edo period, first-class entertainers from Edo have been invited to choreographed dances in each town, Nagauta, and shamisen, and Nagauta in particular is also called "Nagauta Festival" because the iemoto of each school competed for throat.

On both sides of the approach to the shrine with a view of the worship hall, there is a pair of stone top dogs, which always protect the gods. This powerful and dignified komainu was dedicated in 1938 by a then-famous Japanese confectionery shop called "Oki Kyodo" in Hondori 5-chome, Shimada, the year after the start of the Sino-Japanese War (China Incident), and was carved by Shimada stonemason Masuno-chohei. The right pedestal is carved with the words "Takeyu" and the left pedestal is carved with "Nagahisa", and it seems that it is a top dog dedicated to pray for Japan's victory and peace, and the safety of those who went to war.

Oi Shrine is the water god of the Oi River, and there is a kami pond with clear water in its precincts, and the pure water from an old well flows into the precincts. The water temperature is almost constant all year round, so it feels cold in summer and warm in winter. The first pond was built in the precincts of the shrine in 1915, about 100 years ago, to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the relocation of Oi Shrine to the land of Shimada, and was built around the current parking lot on the side of the shrine office by the services of the veterans at that time. The current pond was moved to the center of the precincts in 1985 during the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Emperor Showa's accession to the throne, and it is more magnificent in size and scenery than the previous pond. Now it is indispensable in the precincts, and it is a beautiful water scenery of the water god.

One of the Japan Line Summer Festival Long Run fireworks in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture. The fireworks that shines in the background of the national treasure Inuyama Castle was exceptional. I go to shoot every year, so next year I'm looking forward to it.

Inuyama Castle is a national treasure and has the oldest surviving castle tower in Japan. In Inuyama, the Japan Line Long Run fireworks is held every summer, and you can see the competition between this Inuyama Castle and the fireworks.

I went to Hida Takayama for the first time last year hand-held fireworks. A hand-held fireworks is launched in the hope of getting rid of evil. The heroic appearance of the fireworks master who launches his hand-held fireworks while bathed in sparks is always cool to see.
