Enshu Morimachi, Shizuoka Prefecture, 2018. This picture was taken in the build up to a traditional matsuri that would take over the town for a long weekend in November with seemingly nearly every resident downing their (work) tools to make merry for the next few days. This was a moment of quiet before the festive storm which would see the town’s narrow streets full-to-bursting with a steady flow of people, amazing yatai and booze. A fixer had us shooting the action from amongst the throngs, atop some scaffolding, from family living rooms, even from people’s bedrooms. Mad fun describes it well.Article on City-Cost: https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/City-Cost/MvvdN-living_mori_machi_shizuoka -- source link
