Mihara, Hiroshima Prefecture Located in the northern and mountainous region of the coastal Mihara City, Kui Town encompasses a large area with few inhabitants. For two years, I called this town my home and its residents have been nothing but the kindest people to me. In the landscape, my home can be seen along with too many rice fields to count. It is at this shrine gate that Kui held its annual Hadaka Festival (はだか祭り )in February where members of the community would all come together. To me, this picture immediately brings me back to my happiest moments in Japan. I hope this image can help others realize a sense of connection too. by Ahmed Altalibi Montreal, Quebec |
