    A woman wearing a blue blazer, black pants, white gloves, and a blue face mask is participating in a Japanese Shinto groundbreaking ceremony (Jichinsai). She is holding a ceremonial tool over a mound of sand, with a sacred sakaki branch planted in it. The ceremony program board visible in the background lists the ritual steps in both Japanese and English.
    A formal ceremony is taking place inside a large white tent set up on a dirt/sand ground. The event appears to be a Japanese groundbreaking ceremony (Jichinsai) attended by both U.S. military personnel in camouflage uniforms and civilians in formal attire, seated in socially distanced white chairs. Red and white striped curtains (kohaku-maku) line the tent walls, and a ceremonial altar is visible at the front.
    A large active construction site photographed in overcast, wet conditions. Multiple buildings are under construction, wrapped in blue safety netting and scaffolding. The foreground shows a muddy cleared area with orange safety cones and barriers demarcating restricted zones.

    Two individuals dressed in traditional Japanese Shinto ceremonial attire are participating in what appears to be a Shinto ritual or groundbreaking ceremony (jichinsai). One person wears a black robe with large orange circular patterns and a rounded black cap, while the other wears a red patterned kimono with a tall black eboshi hat. Both are wearing white face masks, suggesting this event took place during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
    An outdoor ceremony is taking place under a large white tent on a sandy or dirt ground, decorated with red and white striped curtains typical of Japanese formal events. A woman in a blue blazer and face mask is bowing, suggesting a Japanese-style ceremonial gesture, while military personnel in camouflage uniforms and civilians in formal attire are present. The setting and decorations indicate this is likely a groundbreaking or official ceremony at a U.S. military installation in Japan.
