With this being the month for school and university graduation ceremonies, it’s clear that many of them must have been cancelled — especially those in, or even near, the earthquake and tsunami hit regions.
In Tokyo and its surrounding areas, however, a good number will undoubtedly have gone ahead, particularly if they were fortunate enough to dodge the day’s scheduled power cuts. Plus, despite current circumstances making the events far more sombre affairs than they’d normally be, it’s still an incredibly proud day for both parents and students alike.
One, just like the time this father and daughter enjoyed, that should be filled with photos.
And, once all the formalities are done, fun.

She is starting to spread her wings and he has got to let go soon..I suppose. Mixed feelings going on right there if it’s a typical happy and healthy home 🙂
Lee says
Yeah, that’s very true Chris. A bitter sweet moment for the father.
Stephanie says
that’s a really good-looking papa! =)
Lee says
Haha! I should have got you a close-up!
cre-cre says
What a beautiful feeling those pictures give. I also love how’s she’s dressed.
Lee says
Yeah, it was a nice moment. That’s why I kept my distance. I didn’t want to interrupt them.
Jessica says
I second Stephanie – they make a lovely pair. How do you find such photogenic subjects everywhere? Or do you think you just have an eye for finding what the rest of us would miss?
Lee says
It’s hard to say really Jessica, but I get out and about a lot, and when I am out, I’m always keen to see everything that’s going on around me.
John says
There’s still no date for my kindergarten’s graduation ceremony in Iwaki, Fukushima. Seeing your photos makes me look forward to it even more and brace myself to shed an extra tear or two haha.
