After the ceremony by the priests, several demons come into the shrine. Demons are symbol of evil spirits, but this red one is too gentle, or this girl is too old to cry from fear.

I like the scene, colour and atmosphere Hiro. What role Demons play? Are they bad? or they are just the winter. :))

Just love the wash of colors in this. And a perfect capture of a harmless ol red demon. Great people composition. Can feel the happy and celebratory energy all around.
