The Oshataka Festival, which has been held in Akashi City for a long time, is a traditional event to pray for maritime safety and good fishing, but I couldn't see it for two years in a row due to Corona, but last year I was contacted by the person concerned that it was only a prayer and not as a festival only for my relatives, and Kobe Shimbun and I took a picture. Up permission etc.

The first of the Japan events was the first visit. In recent years, I think there are many people who could not go due to various reasons but were able to participate this year. I used a film camera to capture the moment I stood in line and waited for now. One piece at Kawasaki Daishi.

We celebrated the local tradition of seven herbs. Seven-year-old children wished for a disease-free life, so we visited seven houses to eat seven grasses. I was nervous after dressing, but everyone said that I didn't want to take it off at the end, even though they said it was cute and cute. My relatives were also very happy.

A demon mask made of origami with her kindergartener sister. Demons are scary, but I tried my best to make cute demons so that they wouldn't attack me. I used the leftover origami to make many other things, such as yakko-san and bags.

Speaking of autumn events in Japan, autumn foliage hunting! I was healed by the sight of a couple taking a walk together under the bright red autumn leaves!

At the end of the year, the clan gathers and rolls the hot mochi that is the job of the women and children (Moriyama City, Shiga Prefecture).

This year, I visited Jindaiji Temple in Chofu City, Tokyo for the first time. I asked God for the health of my loved ones this year. Let's take a lot of photos this year. In search of moments when the heart moves.

Happy Balloon Christmas EventBalloon in Kasai City, where I visited with my daughter and dog for the first time in the balloon boarding experience The view from the sky was great.

Demon chase ceremony event in Inami Town, Hyogo Prefecture Spark soot covers your head and sometimes burns and the camera is covered in soot. I released the shutter at the right time with the settings that matched the strobe of the surrounding side.

Kinosaki lantern flowing event scaled back by Corona It was not as lively as before, but I felt that it should continue forever without becoming obsolete.

I participated in the annual Rokko Meat Tour light-up event for the first time. The colorful lights shining on the botanical garden were fantastic. There were many people who forgot their tripods, so I took a picture handheld.

Traditional Japan event Uji no Ukai It was the first time I saw a female Ukai and I felt it was amazing. Permission to shoot has been uploaded.

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... ?
