Once again this year, a Bon Odori dance festival was held in the heart of Shibuya. The streets, always bustling, felt even more alive. Tourists from abroad looked on with curiosity and wonder. I was struck by the contrast between this traditional Japanese dance and the futuristic cityscape that surrounded it.
I hope these snapshots taken with my GRIII capture a little of that vibrant intersection of past and future. ■
今年も渋谷の中心で盆踊り大会が開かれた。いつも人でにぎわう通りが、この日はさらに生き生きとして感じられた。海外からの観光客も、興味深そうに、そして驚いたようにその光景を眺めていた。日本の伝統的な踊りと、それを取り囲む未来的な都市風景との対比が強く印象に残った。
GR IIIで撮影したこのスナップに、過去と未来が鮮やかに交わるその瞬間が少しでも写っていればと思う。■
