[Shooter comment]

　Chuo-ku, such as Tsukuda, Tsukishima, and Tsukiji, is my favorite shooting location. I will continue to visit you in the future. Thank you very much.

[Jury comment]

　The children who play happily on the jungle gym are powerfully put in front of them, and the creation of a screen that captures the Tsukuda moat in the middle view and the river city 21 buildings symbolizing Tsukuda in the distant view is perfect, and the environment of Tsukuda Park is well expressed. Has been done. The red Tsukuda Kobashi is impressive, and the appearance of mothers and children visiting by bicycle also excites the fun atmosphere of the park.

Central Mayor's Award

Title: Cherry-colored city
[Shooter]: Masatoshi Noto
[Date of shooting]: April, 2016
[Shooting location]: Nihonbashimuromachi

[Shooter comment]

　Buildings lit up with cherry blossoms as motifs and rows of cherry blossom trees on the street made the whole area colored cherry blossoms, creating a fantastic atmosphere. It is a place where many people can enjoy springtime.

[Jury comment]

Around Nihonbashi Muromachi, new buildings are being born one after another and are booming, but this work is wonderful with a powerful screen composition that captures the street trees and the scenery of the city beautifully illuminated on the buildings. The light color images of cherry blossom petals projected on the wall of the building are impressive, and it seems that the fun mood of people coming and going around the city at dusk is transmitted.

Title: Dance on the bridge
[Shooter]: Tatsuo Yonekura
[Date of shooting]: October, 2016
[Shooting location]: Nihonbashi

[Shooter comment]

　Every year, I shoot the Oedo Kashiki Parade, and this year I was planning to shoot on Nihonbashi, but there were many spectators. However, I was able to wait for the parade in the center of Nihonbashi. There was a sparrow dance in front of me, so I released the shutter.

[Jury comment]

　It seems to be a part of the Nihonbashi / Kyobashi Festival and the Oedo Kashiki Parade, but Sendai Sparrow Dance was performed in the middle of Nihonbashi. Above all, it is good to aim for the dancers from the front while well incorporating the statue of Kirin, which symbolizes Nihonbashi, with an accurate camera position, and the bustle of the festival day is transmitted from the hauling gesture and expression .

Special selection

Title: Kabukiza Theater at night
[Shooter]: Daisuke Nomura
[Date of shooting]: November, 2016
[Shooting location]: In front of Kabukiza Theater

[Shooter comment]

　Kabukiza is also one of the symbols of Chuo-ku. Not only the lighting up of Kabukiza at night, but also the light of the car passing in front of you is a good accent. The impression was expressed by exposure for a long time. In this photo, the border line of the pedestrian crossing is also an accent.

[Jury comment]

　The illuminated Kabukiza is placed in a neat composition from the front, creating a beautiful world like a stage device. Perhaps it was taken late at night, or prolonged exposure removes people and cars, and the flow of car lights excites the gorgeous atmosphere of night. It can be said that this is the victory of the calculated camerawork.

Special selection

Title: Drawing of the city
[Shooter]: Naoko Oe
[Date of shooting]: October, 2016
[Shooting location]: Shin-Tomicho

[Shooter comment]

Shintomi-cho is located a little ahead of modern Ginza and retains the old cityscape. It is a place where you can feel the traditional tradition and the warmth of people. I rediscovered the charm of the city from the eyes of the painters.

[Jury comment]

A wooden private house that retains its old appearance. There is such a precious atmosphere near Ginza! It is a good shutter opportunity that allows you to read the serious expression while looking back from the gesture of a woman sketching to leave the situation. I am also impressed that the structure of the old building and the texture of the wood are expressed in a wonderful tone.
