Another great day of shooting some lanterns around the city of Nagano, Japan. Here’s a black and white shot I recently took near Zenkoji, Temple.

The bandana around the guys head is what first caught my attention. This is very typical among men working outdoors in Japan regardless of the weather. Construction workers as well can be seen sporting towels wrapped around their heads or neck. It’s very popular and perhaps wise to keep the sweat under control.
