Photo of the Month - July 2007

yawata-jinjya-miko.jpgThis is a photo of two Miko or Shrine Girls at Yawata Jinjya (Shinto Shrine) in Shizuoka City. This photo was shot in color on slide, then edited with Photoshop. I had a homestay in Shizuoka and my host family were members of this Shrine, so I was fortunate to be invited to attend the Shrine annual festival and take pictures. I ended up visiting for several years in a row and helped carry the O-mikoshi or portable shrine. More festival pictures here.
