Japan! Day 7, Part 4 : Photo Session

We were privileged to have a impromptu photo session with our friends the Takamuras, whose new studio is located in Ninohe. Mr. Takamura is an award-winning photographer in Japan. Miyuki brought over kimonos for us to wear, and Mr. and Mrs. Takamura provided the props. Each shot took a split second, moment by moment we didn't know how the others were posing. They turned out fantastic and the photo session was such a special way to commemorate our stay in Ichinohe and Ninohe.
