The ferocity of the summer sun has happily long since faded, but with it have also gone the vast majority of Japan’s festivals; traditional events that make the long, hot months far more bearable. Fortunately, however, there are still a few that come later, and while the heat may lack its former intensity, the colours and concentration on display most definitely don’t.
As a side note, I have finally got round to producing a proper portfolio of my photography, so if you fancy a look, it’s here, at leechapman.photos.
