Hibuse Festival #5, a photo from Iwate, Tohoku

Photographer's Note

This is another actoress from this festival.
She is a palyer a "shamisen"(a three-stringed Japanese banjo), sitting the last line of the flaot. This shamisen is quite essential with Japanese traditional dance performance. Not only her performance but also her gorgeous kimono were marvelous for me.

The poise shown by these elegant Japanese ladies always impresses me Takero. I think the colourful costumes, make-up and hairstyles has a magical effect on them - suddenly backs are straighter, heads lifted higher, and expressions serious. This is a wonderful example. TFS and warm regards rosemary

Hello Takero,
This is an image of traditional Japan, as I have often seen in films. It's a great shot full of exoticism. The portrait is skillfully made. The light, colors and sharpness are very good. Bravo.
Have a nice day

Amo molto le foto con il primo piano in evidenza ... e la profonditа di campo che fa intravvedere la scena.
Come guardare il sole questa immagine.
Colori e musica ... la prima forma espressiva del mondo .

Hello dear Takero,
this is a great portrait of the elegant musician playing and at the same time observing something or someone that has captured her attention. Her expression is intriguing. It's a lovely off-guard moment. I love the lighting and colours and the fact that, although the background is crowded and colourful, she still stands out impressively. Well done and thank you!
All the best,
Ourania
