Kobe Luminarie

Kobe Luminarie has been held in December every year, since 1995.
In January 1995, we have Great Hanshin earthquake in western Japan.
This festival is aimed to repose of the victims’ soul.
Yesterday, I saw it
The origin of it reminded me this Week Photo Challenge ‘Gone, But Not forgetten‘.

There are the other pictures in my Japanese post.
Even if you don’t read Japanese, you’ll feel the beauty.
