[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Kyoto again.

I saw a girl in red kimono was running. I don't know why did she run. From pattern of her Kimono and apron, I guess that she is a shopclerk or a waitress of traditional food shop or something. So I think her reason to run was not very romantic. Maybe her boss ordered her to buy someting.

Anyway, it is somehow rare to see a woman in kimono running.....

This photo captures a lot of different things that seem disconnected. It looks like you have an ancient temple in the back ground with some electric wires in the fore ground, to the left you have the woman in the kimono running and what looks like average tourist on the left. Nothing seems to quite fit together, but that is probably why this photo seems so interesting. Good timing on catching the woman running, it sort of finishes the feeling of incongruity.

Hallo Keitaro!
For me this is an interesting picture with a lot of details to detect. The contrast between the daily life here and this venerable temple in the background is stunning.
(The accessible gas meter and the open gas pipe righthand are rather "exotic" things).
Thank you for this "reportage photo" ;-)
Greetings from Germany!

Hi Keitaro,
You have reason: it's rare to see a woman in kimono running, specially for me living in Rome.
This is a interesting and rare daily life scene and an urban landscape that I don't know.
