This religious festival (Taoism) starts in the morning and continues until night. The procession moves from temple to temple and there are many cars and vans like this, where small bands, composed mostly by women and children, rhythmically playing music for the ritual.

Here it's shown an important gesture of this ceremony. The shirtless man you see is the priest of the temple, and every group or person who came, had to obtain his blessing and respect by a bow. This was an important step of the ceremony that has been repeated throughout the entire duration of the procession.

Another key part of the ceremony: several groups of men, after carrying on their shoulders these types of small shrines, once there in front of the temple, incited by the screams of the audience and accompanied by the constant music (and blessed by the customary bow of the "priest"), they performed one at a time in this exhausting ritual.

At the old neighborhoods of Tokyo... a door half open, an old man that work despite poor lighting condition.

Asakusa is one of the traditional neighborhoods of Tokyo. One of the few places of this city where you can see the style of the ancient Japan...(that i like most).

Two children intent to work with wood, in a small village of huts on the mountains in the middle of the jungle .. a return to the past ... a lifestyle alien to the modern civilization.

Another shot from the jungle... a life away from civilization and comfort of modern technology. They don't look so desperate... It's surely not easy, but the atmosphere of the village is definitely more relaxed and calm of what you might find in any city.

The agoriginals of Taiwan are a really a minor ethnicity. In the small village of Dulan, on the east coast of Taiwan, you can see them living a peaceful life.. dedicating mostly to activities such as fishing.

In a remote village in the middle of the jungle, some kids are playing in a small stream of water passing nearby their huts.
