The history of yakatabune boats is long, dating back to the Heian period and even mentioned in the famous "Manyoshu". In the Edo period, they spread as a form of entertainment culture, mainly among feudal lords and samurai. Although the scenery has changed since then, the culture of enjoying a meal while looking at the scenery from a boat lives on. I captured the light trail of ancient yakatabune boats together with a modern Tokyo city in this photo with a long exposure of 7 minutes.
