Reflected in the red umbrella is the traditional beauty of Kyoto.
Standing amidst the vibrant autumn leaves is Aoi Tayū from Shimabara, Kyoto.
The Shimabara Tayū carries on a tradition that has lasted since the Edo period.
Her luxurious kimono, unique Japanese hairstyle, and hairpins embody the aesthetic sensibility and craftsmanship of Japan.
The vivid autumn leaves and the elegant figure of the Tayū, passed down through generations, create a moment where Kyoto's autumn scenery and traditional culture intertwine.
I captured this fleeting moment in a photograph.
I hope that such culture and beauty will be inherited by future generations.
Location: Arashiyama, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture

The Autumn Festival at Fukuōji Shrine
is a festival that features a portable shrine passing through the Imperial Gate of Ninna-ji, showcasing the fusion of Shinto and Buddhism.
This year, after seven years, the Kenboko (spear-like decoration) was presented within the grounds of Ninna-ji.
The highlight is the magnificent procession of the Senkan portable shrine!
In front of the Nio Gate at Ninna-ji, there will be performances of taiko drums, lion dances, and the "lifting" and "turning" of the portable shrine, creating a lively atmosphere for the festival.
Additionally, the normally closed Imperial Gate of Ninna-ji will be opened, providing a rare opportunity for solemn ceremonies to be held in front of the Shin-den.
This year marks the return of the Kenboko presentation after seven years within the grounds of Ninna-ji.
📅Every year on the third Sunday of October
📍Procession of the Portable Shrine
Starting from Fukuōji Shrine, it will pass through Narutaki, Yamagoe, Uzumasa, Tokiwa, and Omuro, then return to Fukuōji Shrine via Ninna-ji.
