Yesterday I had the pleasure of capturing this image in Nara, Japan, on Coming of Age Day where women who turn twenty years old wear their kimono, put on their best makeup, and go to the local shrines and temples. While there were many kimonos to be photographed, this was my favorite photograph I took of people during the day.
This is a scene which would be hard to replicate outside of Japan.

Excellent blog you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics talked
about here? I’d really love to be a part of group where I can get
suggestions from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Appreciate it!
