In this photo, the focus is on the rice cracker shop's lanterns, and the carp streamers are placed in the background in a blurred pattern to create a warm townscape. The carp streamers along "Taisho Romantic Dream Street" that add color to spring in Kawagoe offer a nostalgic scene of brightly colored carp swimming in the retro townscape. The combination of buildings reminiscent of the Taisho era and carp streamers creates an atmosphere as if you have stepped into a story. Walking slowly along the historic streets in the spring weather, you will find many places where you will want to take pictures.
