From February 14th til 28th the famous Lantern Festival in Nagasaki is happening. Got to say, it’s absolutely stunning!

About 20~25 km south of Nagasaki, in Nomo, daffodils are already blooming now, in January.

The “Seijinshiki”, or “Coming of Age Ceremony” in Nagasaki. Whoever turned 20 in the previous year is invited and everyone shows up in their most beautiful (and usually very very expensive) furisode (kimono).

A video this time. Once again the Kunchi festival in Nagasaki.
Unfortunately Youtube ruined the quality of the video, and someone was blocking half of my view most of the time, sorry about that!
