She couldn't have been more than 10yrs old. The black hat means she was last yr's champion. This tiny little warrior was magnificent. perfect form, and 3 of 3 targets hit on this run.I love to see youth take part in traditions. the outfits were so bright this yr.
equipment: Canon 7D, Sigma 120-400, shooting in shutter priority

Amazing, yeah. I just didn't like the watch, it feels like it doesn't match.
But still, it's amazing.

I think it showed that there is a mix of tradition and modern in Japanese society.

the future is tradition in Japan. mixing it with history is common. You'll also see kimono clad women with cell phones and ipods.

its truly a clashing of culture...and the only one where it's accepted fully. it's part of the zen of Japan.

Like in the Last Samurai when modern things start to appear
and the old Japan starts to mix with the new world.
I didn't known that its accepted fully as you said,
is a nice way of thinking, i admire them more now !

trust me, it's the norm. when i lived here as a child it was the same way and living here now, it hasn't changed.
