Japanese traditional flute, a photo from 東京, 関東

Photographer's Note

Besides(5m away) the iced-water swimming pool where the odd ritual purification was conducted, the Japanese traditional orchestra composed one flute and two drums perform the sacred instrumental music. This hybrid of music and water purification are sacred traditional ritual itself. This player was very much commanding and imperious, I was impressed by him.

Faces expression is your speciality - and this is no exception.

Hi Takero,
As always with your pictures, Iｴm impressed by the colour coordination. Here is also a very good portrait of this obviously interesting musician, someone I really would like to hear as well! A very well balanced picture!
Kind regards
Gunnar

yes, I agree with Ike - facial expressions are undoubtedly one of your strongest points, you have the timing of the dedicated observer of human behaviour =)

Hi Takero
A beautiful portrait with a striking contrast of colours. The harmonious expression of the flute player is well captured with a good timing. Bravo.
