Title: Cherry blossoms in Ginza
[Photographer]: Ryuya Koshiishi
[Year of shooting]: March, 2018
[Photograph location]: Ginza

[Photographer's comment]

I often photograph it on rainy nights. Because the illuminations reflected on the wet ground are very beautiful. On this day, I took a picture of the cherry blossoms blooming in Ginza.

Comments on Judges

　A little early spring. Based on a wonderful woman who has escaped from a fashion magazine passing by while seeing the cherry blossoms in full bloom appearing on Ginza Street, it is wonderful to capture the atmosphere of Ginza, which is light rain at dusk, with an accurate screen composition. The various depictions of light reflected on the rain-wet sidewalks also create a fantastic world.

Title: New Year's book opening live
[Photographer]: Yuji Tawa
[Year of shooting]: January, 2019
[Photograph location]: Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store

[Photographer's comment]

　Many visitors, including me, were fascinated by the spectacular performance of the students in line with the light rhythm on the high ceiling and atrium hall. Japanese calligraphy Girls, thank you for the performance.

Comments on Judges

　At the beginning of the writing performance while being watched by Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store and Tenma. It seems that it is a team at Fukagawa High School, but it is the moment when you can finish writing a letter of the end while being watched by friends who have finished writing on huge paper in turns. I feel tension. The camera work, which has a powerful copy of the book in the foreground and finished in a symmetrical screen composition, is wonderful.

Title: Octagonal portable shrine wonderful
[Photographer]: Akio Shinagawa
[Year of shooting]: August, 2018
[Photograph location]: Tsukuda

[Photographer's comment]

It's hot August 5th. The octagonal portable shrine of the Tsukuda Festival shines brilliantly and the heat was transmitted from the arms of the bearer.

Comments on Judges

Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine's "octagonal portable shrine" is said to have imitated Emperor Goza. Supported by the strong arms of a large number of men, the beautiful figure of portable shrine raised highly, and the camera work that elevates Bill County in Tsukuda is outstanding, making it a fine work. It must have been taken from the base of Tsukuda Kobashi. It was good to have a look up.

Title: Tsukiji Yuji and carrying of miniature shrines Tosho
[Photographer]: Riki Saito
[Year of shooting]: June, 2018
[Photograph location]: Tsukiji

[Photographer's comment]

Since Tsukiji Market moves to Toyosu, it seems that the portable shrine of Namiki Inari Shrine was first moved to imperial procession in front of Hamarikyu Gardens. I tried to put it all on one screen. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my friends and photographers who taught me this shooting location.

Comments on Judges

This is a valuable record of taking a large panoramic view of Tsukiji Market, Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, Sumida River, and Tokyo Port far away, with the foreground of buildings including the Asahi Shimbun Building, from high places. In addition, I am also surprised to see the portable shrine of Tsukiji Namiki Inari Shrine departing Hamarikyu Onshi Garden for imperial procession.

Title: Serious acting
[Photographer]: Fujio Suzuki
[Year of shooting]: December, 2017
[Photograph location]: Yagenbori Fudo-in Temple

[Photographer's comment]

I saw an umbrella turning at Yagenbori Fudoin for the first time. The audience applauded the serious performance so that Mali and Masu were put on and did not drop. I think the timing of writing was difficult.

Comments on Judges

The year-old city of Yagenbori fudoson. It is said that it sells New Year's goods such as Kadomatsu and shime decorations, but Edo Dai-Kagura uses umbrellas that you want to see at the end of the day. Taking advantage of the effects of the wide-angle lens of the fish eye type, the camera work that is very close to the performers and well captures the state of Fudoin in the background is outstanding, and the tension of those who perform seriously is transmitted.
