  Masaki Ito

Five straw boats hoist 365 lanterns (representing the number of days in a year) on their floats. Once the five boats are ready, children row across the river while playing traditional japanese flutes and drums. Upon reaching the other side, the passengers disembark from the boat and pay their respects to the portable shrine that has been transported from the Tsushima Shrine.

I`m photographer in japan. I had studied photography in Canada. After graduated college I`m working my father studio. I like to shoot Landscape, astrography, and portrait.
