A photograph taken on the Arakawa riverbank, capturing a moment of "Silence! A duet of the morning sun and branches."

This photo was taken with a wide-angle lens to create a sense of depth. The scene woven by the cherry trees along the Arakawa riverbank—now bare branches—and the morning sun brings a quiet, beautiful moment. After the cherry blossom season passes, the Arakawa embankment lined with leafless trees seems as if nature itself is taking a rest. Especially during the hours when the morning sun shines through, the delicate branches are illuminated by gentle light, creating a fantastical silhouette. While many visit this spot to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom during spring, the bare winter trees also possess a distinct charm. The seasonal transformations along the Arakawa riverbank offer new discoveries with each visit, reminding us of nature's beauty. It's an ideal spot to enjoy a stroll or photography, feeling the morning stillness and observing the delicate expressions revealed by the trees.
