Heian isho, or how to walk the Daimonzaka path the traditional way.

31 May

During our second trip to Wakayama prefecture we had the great pleasure to be granted a model, dressed in Heian ishom or Hean era costume. At that time only noble people wore this costume to walk along the Daimon-zaka leading to the wonderful Kumano Nachi Taisha and the Nachi Falls.

Gear used: Fujifilm GFX-50S + 110mm f/2
