Koinobori Dancing Over Rural Nago, Yamaguchi

English

May in the countryside of Nago, Yamaguchi — and these magnificent koinobori were dancing above the rice fields like they owned the sky. The lush green forest backdrop, the quiet village below, the wind carrying these carp through the air... it felt like stepping straight into rural Japan's heartbeat. Pure magic.

山口県阿武町奈古の田園地帯で見かけたこいのぼり。5月の新緑に包まれた景色の中、ピンクのこいのぼりが気持ちよさそうに泳いでいた！田舎の静けさと、こどもの日の風情が一気に蘇った瞬間。こういう日本の原風景が大好きだ。
