EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of tradition and celebration at the Shichi-go-san festival in Tokyo, Japan. In this image, we see a small boy dressed in traditional clothing from head to toe, his back turned towards us as he participates in this significant cultural event. The Shichi-go-san festival is a cherished Japanese custom that celebrates the growth and well-being of children aged three, five, and seven years old. It is held annually at the prestigious Meiji-jingu Shrine located in Harajuku. As one of Tokyo's most iconic landmarks, this shrine serves as an ideal backdrop for such festivities. With its vertical composition and full-length perspective, this photograph beautifully showcases not only the young boy but also highlights the vibrant atmosphere surrounding him. The colorful attire worn by both adults and children adds an extra layer of charm to the scene. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a world where time-honored traditions come alive against a modern cityscape. The photographer skillfully captures not just a moment frozen in time but also evokes feelings of joy and pride associated with Japanese culture. Christopher Rennie/Robert Harding's photography truly encapsulates the spirit of Asia's far east through their lens - revealing stories that transcend borders while honoring local customs like those seen here during Shichi-go-san.
