Henporai and his photos
Posted by ampontan on Monday, April 14, 2008
HENPORAI is involved with the production of a Japanese-language website on festivals that I sometimes visit. He also has a blog that he uses mostly for photographs of smaller festivals and other events and scenes that he finds interesting.
I can recommend the blog even to those who can’t read Japanese, because the photos are excellent. Most of the photo blogs I’ve seen have been created to show off the artwork of the photographer. The photos here might not be of the type that are exhibited in galleries, but Henporai has an excellent eye and his pictures are always worth a look. I especially recommend it to people who want to see what Japan looks like outside of the big cities.
The main page for the site is here.

お囃子の練習…
以前この ブログ で触れたが、7月の26日と27日で浅間大社の富士山頂奥宮にお囃子を奉納に登る。その練習も兼ねて定例の囃子練習に行ってきた。
写真は5年前の囃子奉納登山の物だ。
