Framed in Innocence
Yamato is an eight-year-old boy from a small rural town called Ena in Japan. He and his family have been traveling all over the United States of America performing traditional drumming. This image captures a quiet moment of play and introspection framed in a playground set, revealing a softer side of a child fully immersed in both cultural tradition and childhood wonder.
