Next year she will be a lead by bukitgolfb301

Photographer’s Note: In Japan at the middle of Nov. we have custom that girl at 3/7 age and boy at 5 age go to shrine for praying thier well growth and health in kimono/hakama (Japanese traditional clothes). This year 14/15 Nov. fell on the peak of this 753 ceremony. The sisters were born in two successive years, the elder one is 7 years old and today’s leading character. The younger one seems to admire her sister and be diffident at the back of her. But never mind, next year is your turn and you will wear this kimono and get a spot-light here as same as your sister.

On a misty day, the view from the living room of Reiko and Yoshihiro Takishita's 250-year-old home in the hills of Kamakura looks like a modern silkscreen... Flanking the door are an Edo period merchant's chest (tansu) with a Meiji era basket, an 18th century bronze temple candlestick, and a Sendai chest, also Meiji, topped by a late Edo lantern that burned camellia oil.
