Contemporary Japanese matsuri photography in the lineage of Mika Ninagawa, Rinko Kawauchi, and Kishin Shinoyama. Cinestill 800T tungsten warmth, paper lanterns aglow, the western sky still tinged blue. Yatai smoke, indigo yukata, vermilion goldfish — yokai standing among the lively crowd at the same temperature as the humans around them.
