More Nebuta Matsuri – Tachikawa
More photos from the fantastic Nebuta Matsuri in western Tokyo’s Tachikawa City last weekend. You might remember last year’s blog post about the mini-Nebuta Matsuri in Shibuya last year, the floats in Tachikawa were much bigger and more varied, a lot of thought had gone into the decorations on them, as even the backsides were lit and decorated with paintings of mythical characters or buddhist stories. Great stuff! I took these photos with a variety of prime lenses, but it was really really dark so I had to crank up the ISO on my Nikon D700. Enjoy!
visually stunning!!
Thank you for the comment Maria!
Overwhelming for Swedes
Maybe an idea for something to build for the next midsummers party at the Universe? (^-^)
Oh yes
This is quite, quite amazing! Wonderful images – many thanks for sharing them, they’ve really added extra ‘umph’ to my day
Thank you for the kind comment! I was just admiring your work by the way – you should consider making one your houses in scale 1:1! I’d live there! (^-^)
So nice to see a photo of a Japanese person (especially a woman) wearing glasses. You would think they all had perfect vision. Maybe people in Japan wear contacts more.
Haha… yes, I think A LOT of Japanese women wear contact lenses these days. It’s a pity, I quite like glasses! Luckily glasses have been high fashion this last year so we might see a comeback of more women ditching their contacts!

I am truly inspired by your fantastic photography skills. So many colours and personality in each individual frame. And so many stories to be told. I think I have an idea for my next piece

Thank you for the wonderfully kind comment Emilie! I hope you get a lot of inspiration for your work!
Wow. You have captured SO MUCH in these photos. It’s almost like I’m there for a moment. So much that you let me forget to be jealous
Seriously though, absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much for those kind words Kaori! Well, I feel much the same way when I see your desert photos… (^-^) Just gorgeous!
Not sure why, but from the whole thing, my fav is the one with the flower-pin.
Ah yes, she looks very classical! (^-^)
