New Year on Halle Day The brightly decorated New Year's decorations were magnificent.

The Byodo-in Phoenix Hall is a Japan ten-yen coin. I haven't been there since 2019, but it's always beautiful. I had to take a quick picture with many tourists flowing by, but I think I was able to capture it from a good angle of view, including the crescent moon!

Location Nagasaki Event "Spirit Boat Procession" Put the deceased's favorite things and photos on the spirit ship An event that is poured into rivers and seas. At that time, firecrackers are set off grandly on the way.

This photo was taken at Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. ? When I visited for the first time, I was attracted by the beauty of the five-storied pagoda on the site and took this photo. We were able to get a glimpse of 1500 years of history.

Kashima City, Saga Prefecture's folk performing art "Face Floating". Facelift is made up of performers in various roles. "Oni (Kakeuchi)" is the protagonist of the face floating. In the "Taiko Drum Drum Beating", one man beats a large drum. "Torige" is a long stick with hemp hair (crow) passed by two people in pairs. And the photo is the women of "Kaneuchi". He has been participating with his parents since he was a child. It's a scene unique to local folk performing arts.

There is a climbing kiln that bakes pottery in Awaji City, Awaji Island. Only once a year in February, firewood is put in for 4 days without sleeping, the temperature is raised, and a large flame burns from the kiln in the back. Many works by potter Koichi Maeda are born in this kiln. There is such a scene in the morning drama Scarlett, and a time full of passion is wonderful, and slowly cools down over time, and a new work is born. The attitude of sparing no effort and working hard towards the goal was cool, and I learned a lot from it because I keenly realized that I have to face various things and work hard. I am very grateful that I made an appointment last year and had a valuable experience.

Kashima City, Saga Prefecture's folk performing art "Face Floating". It is a demon mask art in which a drum is held in front of the body and danced while the sound of kane and taiko resonates. It is said that by dancing "Face Float", it means to give thanks for the good harvest of the five grains and pray to the gods for rain, repose of grudges, and exorcism of evil spirits.

The title is "Dancing Yosakoi Flag" I hope that one day there will be a special four days where you can feel the enthusiasm of the dancers and the audience again.

Yanagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture's "Ohina-sama Water Parade" Uchiura-sama, Ohina-sama, three officers, five girls, and girls in juvenile costumes board the boat and parade through the moat. As a very vivid and cute Yanagawa tradition, it is familiar not only to locals but also to many tourists.

It is said that the Hinamatsuri began about 1,000 years ago among the aristocrats of that time during the Heian period. At that time, on the day of the snake at the beginning of March, the "Kamimi no Setsuku" is held to pray for a disease-free life, and on this day, an onmyoji (fortune teller) They called and prayed, and they put simple dolls made of paper and plants with alcohol and offerings and threw them into rivers and the sea on their behalf. At that time, the dolls were called "Hiina", and it is believed that this "Kamimi no Setsuku" and "Hiina Play" came together to form the Hinamatsuri as it is today. In this way, I would like to decorate the peach festival that has been handed down for a long time with the children and pass on to future generations a meaningful event that wishes for the healthy growth of children.

The title is Shrine Worship! The location is Igusa Hachimangu Shrine.

The shrine and its nearby area at China town, Yokohama were well decorated with lights and lanterns before the Chinese new year. It looks very beautiful and charming.

Karatsu Kunchi in 2021 It was held under thorough corona measures Thanks to that, the number of corona infected people in Karatsu City after 3 weeks It was zero!

Todaiji Temple Nigatsudo Shujikai (Mizutori) Ten torches are lined up on the stage of February-do, burning vigorously, and the sight of sparks raining down is a masterpiece.

It's a hina festival. At the former Yoshida residence.

This photo was taken in Tachikawa Green Springs, Tokyo. It was Christmas, so I took a picture of a stuffed animal costume costume as Santa in my hand.

It is one piece at Shichi-go-san. Shooting in the studio was nerve-wracking, but shooting at Yasaka Shrine was done only with my family, so my nervousness was relieved and I had this expression.

This photo was taken at Higashiyama Hanatouro, Kyoto. This will be the last year of the Flower Lantern Roads event.

Yangguji Temple Hanachozu When I came here two years ago, there was no "Yes, Kyoto, let's go" logo on the ladle, but in the past few years, it has become a hot topic on SNS and has changed. As usual, hydrangeas were laid out, and many tourists came. I shot simply with telephoto, compression effect, and no unnecessary objects.

Famous Dragon Dance during Chinese New Year Festival at Yokohama's famous China Town. The dragon dance is very cute, funny and interesting. It was a vibrant and colorful festival.

This is a photo of when I went to visit Meiji Jingu for the first time on New Year's Day.

I moved ✨ to Wakayama City Porto was held in Europe #FeStALuCe I did it so beautifully ✨! I ✨ want to go there again

I came to see the Hina Festival dolls at the Ono Private Kokokan, and quite a few of them were grandly lined up on the Hina altar and were in front of the entrance, which was a masterpiece.

Vibrant and colorful attire, graceful performers ,jolly faces .... Every good things were present during the 38th Samba festival of Asakusa.

Although the samba dance is from Brazil but I saw it 1st time in Tokyo at Asakusa area. It was from 38th Asakusa Samba carnival in 2019. I was really very excited and happy to see it. Unfortunately from 2020 because of corona the event is not happening but I wish this 2022 I could see it again.

This is a shrine visit at Ebisu Shrine in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. We wish for the healthy growth of the baby and visit him around one month old. Even after that, there are many people who visit milestones in their lives, such as Shichi-go-san and adults. Visiting the temple is the first of them, the first appearance to God. It's kind of reassuring to think that there is a god watching over you.

Heian Jingu Shrine Yormoude The asymmetrical lights were illuminated, and the color changed as time went by, which was beautiful. This is because by intentionally making the photo asymmetrically illuminated, it is a beautiful photo regardless of whether you look at it on the left or right.

Festival held in Nagasaki City from October 7 to 9 [Nagasaki Kunchi] It is designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan. The float in the photo is [Kokkodesho] It is a popular votive dance among Nagasaki kunchi. The rough skill of throwing a float high into the sky and grabbing it with the thrown arm outstretched, masculinity, and bravery of shouting There is no doubt that it will be full of charm that will hook the viewer. I think that other votive dances are also unique and very enjoyable festival events. There are many stalls, and there is no doubt that both children and adults can enjoy a fun time! !! I wanted to capture the power and dynamism of the moment when I threw it high into the sky, so I shot with the shutter speed down. I think I was able to capture the movement of the hand and the expression of the bearer well in my own way.

On the occasion of Chinese new year the Yokohama China town was well decorated during pre corona situation (in 2019). It was my first chance to enjoy Chinese new year in China Town. It was really a great fun. Wish after corona it will be back in full form.

Shooting locationTakeda City My family ate Ehomaki at a house in the countryside on Setsubun Day. Wishing for the happiness of each and every family, the Ehomaki I ate was very delicious.
