Yosakoi Festival – Ikebukuro Fukuro Matsuri
At Ikebukuro’s gigantic Fukuro Matsuri, the Owl Festival, one of Tokyo’s largest Yosakoi competitions, I saw this performance by the team RHK Kizuna, who had a splendid performance including a half second costume change half way through! I don’t know much about yosakoi, the second of Japan’s two large group dance styles. I think I’m particularly pleased wit the last shot in the series. Enjoy!
I finally found a suitable and neutral way to describe Yosakoi. It is the eighties. (That guy knows what I’m talking about!)
Haha… spot on! (^-^;)
The penultimate photo, for me. (Maybe crop a little bit from the bottom and right?)
Last photo is very nice, too, but the figure is…too centered.
(Yes, pick those nits. Shame on me! I would have no hope to do anything other to watch the dancers in amazement!)
You nitpicker you! (^-^;) Seriously though, 95% of the photos on this blog are pretty much the way I took them, I have no time nor any interest in screwing around too much with crops and perspectives… (^-^) I prefer the slightly skewed, the slightly off center, the slightly miss-cropped… (^-^)
Very nice. So much energy coming out of the images you can hear the sounds to go with. Very enjoyable – many thanks
Thank you for the kind comment! (^-^) Glad you like it!
