Mitama Matsuri – Painting Wind Chimes
Here are some more photos of the second evening of the huge Mitama Matsuri at the Yasukuni Shrine in central Tokyo. These beautiful ladies were fully concentrated on the task of painting their wind chimes, while the festival rages on behind them (see the guys behind them taking photos). I took a similar image last year, it could be fun to compare maybe. I know the yellow/red tone of these photos might not be popular with other photographers, but I like it! It reminds me of how hot it was, so to me it makes the photos better. Maybe not in a technical sense though.
There was only one male customer painting when I took these pictures, and his daughter had the coolest sun glasses I have seen in a long while! Don’t you agree? I wish I could be that stylish! Today is the last day of the Mitama Matsuri, so make sure you go!
My dear friend Miss L could get away with wearing sunglasses like that (and she would probably be able to find some big, chunky earrings from her collection to perfectly match). Most mature people wouldn’t be able to manage it, though.
I see your point about the color, hmm, perhaps “mood” would work as a decription.
Thanks pk! (^-^) I think any one who’d look good in glasses like these must be a fun person to be around!
Miss L should be bottled and shared with the world.
Just thinking about her puts a smile on my face.
I hope she reads this! (^-^)
But…that would mean revealing my secret identity!
Every superhero needs a secret identity! Now I got an image of you wearing a Robin-style eye mask! (^-^)
Love the colours and depth of field.
Thank you Kerioke! (^-^)/
Wow so wonderful!
Thank you Zuzurabi! (^-^)/
I wonder if I could get one of the plain chimes to paint..or make one? I have a few here, but different ones
Do you know how to blow glass? (^-^)
Well, I do know how to paint one at least (^-^); but I would learn to blow glass as well if I had a chance!
