I took this photo when I was doing cherry blossoms at night in one of the cherry blossom viewing at the culture of Japan. It is one of the most famous cherry blossom viewing spots in Saitama, and the 500 cherry blossom trees stretching for 2.5 km on both sides of the Motoara River, which flows through the center of the Fukiage area, bloom beautifully in spring, reflecting their gorgeous appearance on the surface of the water. At night, it is illuminated by red lanterns, making it an even more fantastic place.

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!
