Koinobori (carp streamers) swimming in the blue sky is the highlight of the spring festival in Kaminarucho

The Kanna Carp Streamer Festival is a popular spring event held in Kanna Town, Gunma Prefecture. Many carp streamers are displayed around the Kannagawa River, and the sight of them swimming happily under the blue sky is well-known as a representative scene of Kannagawa in spring. The openness of the carp streamers seen amidst the natural surroundings of the mountains and the relaxed atmosphere are also attractive.

Key points for photography

The key points of photography are to show the large number of carp streamers and the expanse of the sky. If you take wide-angle shots, you can easily express the power of many carp streamers swimming in the sky and convey the lively atmosphere of a festival. By including a large sky, it is easy to give the carp streamers a sense of dynamism.
