This piece beautifully captures a quintessentially Japanese green scene. The unique charm of a half-camera, with two frames of different times in one shot, adds to its appeal. If you look closely, you can see someone almost submerged in the river in the right photo.

Emerging robustly from the concrete, likely having been cut many times, its vitality is remarkable. Every summer, it sprouts new buds, competing with humans in resilience.

This photo captures Sarutsubo Falls in Mikata District, Hyogo Prefecture. The waterfall flows gracefully between mosses with little height difference, evoking a sense of Japanese elegance. It beautifully expresses the serene celebration of summer.

A man fishing alone under an umbrella in deep green surroundings. There are no paths or boats in sight, just a person enchanted by nature and fishing, as if finding his own secret base. This work, which most fittingly embodied the theme of 'appreciating the deepening summer', was selected as the award-winning piece.

How was it?
All the submitted works were green, each capturing unique expressions that could only be seen at that time and place. It was a wonderful contest befitting the celebration of summer's arrival.
We plan to hold more contests on colors, so please stay tuned!

Take care of your health for the rest of the summer, and have a nice Green Day!
