This
is an image of a group of girls at a cosplay show in Tokyo. They are cosplaying
the famous Japanese anime "Sailor Moon"(美少女戦士セーラームーン). Their costumes, wigs,
makeups, weapons and poses represent the original anime characters perfectly. In
the image background, other people are doing their own things and they seem to
be not paying attention to this group of girls, indicating that they are
already used to this kind of shows. In fact, cosplay is quite common in Japan
and is now welcomed by other Asian countries.
This
is an image of a plate of Japanese desserts. With a leave, two branches and a
bud, the three desserts are made into cherry blossom, camellia and peach
blossom. They are scattered in the big plate in an artistic way instead of
being piled together. Also, the reflections of the desserts on the plate make
the whole plate look like a beautiful picture in which the three kinds of trees
stick their branches above a lake as if we could see their reflections on the
water surface.
This
is an image of a night view of a street in Japan. The dynamic of this place is not
only embodied in the people walking at night, but also in the bright colors
such as the red lantern and colorful neon. The combination of the red lantern and
the sign board as well as the English letters connote an integration of
tradition and modern sense.
I like the pictures you chose to use. Unfortunately, I can't see the second picture, it won't load for me. The analysis of the combination of tradition and modern sense for the third picture was a good observation.
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem with the images. In my case, Second and third didn't load. But still, I enjoyed reading your comments on the pictures while using them to try to imagine how the images would look like.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the first image about the cosplay show, I found it interesting the way you described the background. Once again, you made me think about something I did not realize before. Thank you!
