2021 Spring Shirakawago #3, a photo from Gifu, Chubu

Photographer's Note

After snow season is finished, the Thatched roof should be under maintenance. Once upon a time all village people should join in this hard work as symbolic event to prove the unity of the village, but now this hard work is contracted with the special vender. The culture and custom are changed time to time---.

Hello Takero,
Life changes in most ways, but as long as these houses remain the roofs will have to be maintained. This is an interesting and rather spectacular view, regardless if the job is made by a professional contractor or by the local people. I always find "people at work" a most fascinating area of photography. This is excellent for what it shows, and it's taken with fine sharpness and a well handled light.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello dear Takero,
Interesting scene in Shirakawago. Funny that I was there the first one. I was also fascinated by how they repair the thatched roofs, as you can see here: https://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asia/Japan/Chubu/Gifu/Shirakawago/photo1259448.htm.
I hope that you and your family are safe and healthy

Hi Takero,i never thought to see a moment like that from Japan,i have seen something like that in Africa, especially in Kenya,when more hotels has roofs like that, but the maintenance is very expensive as they told me. A different pic from your trip there,well done as usual. Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano
