It's not a summer festival, but... We filmed Hiroshima's traditional event "Touro Flow" Touro Float is a traditional event in Hiroshima City to commemorate the victims of the atomic bomb and pray for peace. My great-grandfather was an A-bomb victim. I am a fourth-generation A-bomb survivor. Even now, after the death of my grandparents, I still carry on my thoughts and play it every year. This year, for the first time in four years, the regular event has been held, and the "hand-flowing touro" that you can play yourself has also been revived. I can't call it a festival, but I post it because it was a memorial service. Colorful lanterns with ?☘️? thoughts of peace from all over the world

- Full fireworks, all-out summer - I felt as if I was watching the fireworks of the summer festival closer, expressed the powerful shapes that fill the screen, and wanted to deliver the charm of Japanese fireworks in an instant. At the summer festival, there are many tourists from overseas, and once again the splendor of humanity, raising fireworks, and expressing kindness and enthusiasm, "Welcome! I was made aware of the charm of Japan facing its home country. I was able to realize once again the joy of life with an SLR, which is both remembered and recorded.

Kagawa Prefecture Megijima "Sumiyoshi Shrine Grand Festival" festival dedicated to the god of the island – The shrine festival at Megijima island There is a surprisingly unknown island culture Kagawa Prefecture and in Takamatsu City Megijima and Ogijima take turns holding a summer festival every year, carrying a drum stand made of ropes handed down in Isshi Sōden and parading around the island. As the name suggests, the god of the island is a woman, and it has been handed down as a festival forbidden to women since ancient times so as not to be jealous. Drum stands are dropped and rolled wildly toward the gods, and at the end of the festival, the drum stands go into the sea. It seemed difficult to go through the small torii gate.

When I visited Megijima for the first time in a long time, a festival was being held on that day, so I took a picture.
