Assignment #6 "Photo Album"

People:  

Playing Music
Three youthful Japanese girls perfect their talents using primitive musical instruments. These women appear to be of higher social standing, and therefore are afforded the right to learn to operate musical instruments as a means of entertaining guests and family.

People: 
Three Japanese women of higher social standing, adored in kimono,  admire displays of chrysanthemums at a festive flower show. While their arrangement and overall presentation is meek, and certainly unimpressive as compared to the floral presentations of the Glasshouses of Europe, their vain attempt at asserting their social significance is admirable.

 Places: 
Miyajima 
In the foreground a shinto gate, known to locals as a Torii,  suggests that Miyajima is a sacred place. The glimmering water outlines the aging Japanese architecture that the area is famous for.

 People:
A Japanese Baby
An infant at play, shown with her only plaything, yet still projecting a sense of youthful pleasure. Her uniquely oriental  features are highlighted from birth, and her porcelain skin stands as an eternal sign of beauty and youth. While her social status is unknown, it can be inferred from the surrounding of her environment that she resides from a higher social class, but yet they lack the enrichment of our children, as they are not overwhelmed with the spoils of our stature.

Places: 

Ukimido at Lake Biwa 

Known to be not only Japan's largest freshwater lake, but also the world's third most ancient, Lake Biwa hosts beautiful scenic views of the simplicity of the traditional Japanese lifestyle.  Location of the well-known Floating Temple, Magetsu-ji Zen, Lake Biwa is a popular travel spot for foreign travelers.
