The Kishiwada Danjiri Matsuri is a "survival explosion" in modern Japan's concrete canyons. This series captures the collision between 4-ton wooden floats and rigid urban spaces. Pulling floats at breakneck speeds, the cross-generational defiance symbolizes ancient beliefs breaking through modernity. The leader's leap from the speeding roof is the violent release of cultural vitality—the deafening roar of the Japanese soul.

I am an amateur photographer from Taiwan and I hope to share the beauty of Taiwan with the world.
