Description

This dynamic photograph by photographer Michael Yamashita captures a traditional dragon dance performance in a large, circular earthen building courtyard. Multiple performers in vibrant red and gold costumes maneuver the long, articulated dragon puppet across the uneven stone-paved ground. The multi-story wooden tulou structure rises in circular tiers in the background, featuring balconies and onlookers observing the cultural celebration. The natural daylight illuminates the vibrant colours of the dragon and the rustic textures of the historic courtyard setting.
