A snapshot of Sendai city. While many submissions featured well-known landmarks like Tokyo Tower, this photo captures a deeply rooted in daily life. Shopping malls and large signs we often saw as children remain etched in our memories. Familiar sights changing over time can evoke a sense of nostalgia.

A shot of Hakata Port Tower standing in Hakata Bay. The red-lit tower, along with the leisure facilities at its base, creates a striking image. Standing tall as if watching over the bustling city, the illuminated tower appears even more imposing.

A photo of a bicycle caution sign painted on the road. The front wheel of the bicycle forms an exclamation mark, making the symbol visually intuitive. This too is a , conveying a specific meaning visually. It might be interesting to focus on signs, symbols, and pictograms!
In Conclusion
What did you think?
When taking photos, why not capture familiar local symbols instead of just grand landmarks? Preserving the current state of these symbols through photography can help us rediscover the value of capturing moments in time.
