Snow

It is "Yokote kamakura" in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture. "Kamakura" is a small New Year's event dedicated to the god of water, and children among the kamakura shout "Enter! They talk to tourists and treat them with mochi and amazake. This photo is from the "Kamakura" photo session venue, but the best position was super full and I regretted being late, but if I dared to take it from a position where no one was looking, I was able to take a really nice photo and I was very satisfied with the "Kamakura" photo.

I took a picture of the sky in front of Nerima Station in winter. When shooting, I was conscious of emphasizing the contrast between the evil darkness of the sky above and the faint lights on the ground.

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of our son, we started eating at home. I managed to cook by hand. He doesn't seem to know anything yet, but I think it's a very nice Japan culture.

Speaking of New Year's... ?

It snowed more than usual, and children jumped from the roof. I was scared at first, but I was able to do the numbers and jump vigorously!

In the snow that has accumulated in Kita Shinshu, the Shinkansen passes by.

Winter fireworks planned by a friend. It was fantastic and lovely. The first snow fireworks is almost like an annual event.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! At the end of 2021, it snowed so much that the train was suspended. However, I came across such a lyrical landscape. I'm very lucky!

"Horse Festival" held in Honsu City, Gifu Prefecture It is an annual festival of Nagaya Shrine held on August 1 and 2 every year. It is said to have been held since the shrine was built. It is designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Gifu Prefecture. Dance of children, floats are towed. At the end of the festival, riders dressed in layers of haori hakama ride horses, open flower umbrellas and fans, and run around the precincts. The layered haori is gradually taken off and scattered with confetti. Although it was canceled for two years due to Coronavirus pandemic, the sight of local high school students running looks brave.

I posted an image of a chicken farm in Date City, Hokkaido, where I work. I work as an egg transport driver in a poultry farm, and I pressed the shutter because I thought it was very beautiful that the snow poultry house was creating winter.

A friend invited me to take pictures of the Tarumi Railway. There was only one train per hour, and I was looking forward to seeing what color train was coming, so I was excited. On the third attempt, a light blue train came and I was able to take this photo.
