  2. Very cool, thanks for sharing! I definitely prefer the lower camera angle. Better for people-watching 😁👍

  3. Hello Yoshi-san. Is it an actual ceremony or just a ritual, to take photos and get a gift? Does it happen all across Japan? Great camera work as usual. Your commitment to excellence is undeniable. Utsumo Arigatou. 👍🏻
