Akita Kanto Matsuri Portrait (645D 55mm lens)

Akita Castle

Lotus Flower, Akita Castle Moat

When I looked at the full res file of the lotus image I was impressed by the amount of detail. I thought others might like to check it out so I uploaded a full sized JPEG to Flickr which you can check out here.

Another place of note in Akita was the Masakichi Hirano Museum of Fine Art. It is worth checking out just to see the huge “Annual Events in Akita” wall painting which at just over 20 meters in width is one of the largest canvas paintings of the 20th Century.
