Shooting situations

This photo was shot in Hanami-kouji, Kyoto during the cherry blossom viewing season. I shot these two maiko who were surrounded by tourists. They do not have red lipstick on their upper lips because they were newly recruited in April, when this was shot. I combined the image of the profiles of these young ladies and the cherry blossom buds.

Further comments

This photograph embodies a Japanese spring through clothing, hair and color.
