Description


This is where my camera shows it's lack of megapixels. This is Komachi-dori, a long, narrow street in Kamakura packed with souvenir shops, restaurants and more tourist tat than you can wave a Totoro at ^_^ I took this one when I saw the mother and son in their kimonos... 2011 and they don't look out of place. I cropped this one down from a wider pic which was packed with people. I wanted to concentrate on them. The little boy is dressed like that for a ceremony which takes place for kids aged 3, 6 and 9 (I think that's what Ryoko said). We saw quite a lot of wee boys and girls dressed in their beautiful kimonos. Hope you like it, and thanks for looking. Iain

Tradition rocks!...great capture and what a great jacket, I'd wear that....Why do Japanese men ALWAYS look like they've just stepped out of the barbers, there's not a hair out of place.....Really enjoying this series, brilliant....

Nice photo, I notice the older man facing towards us is looking down at the child, and he even looks amused, or a similar emotion. Nice candid shot!
