This photo captures the tall mimosa tree within the temple grounds, shot while looking up to create a soft, gentle atmosphere. It's a shot that conveys the soft light of spring. As spring approaches at Nakain Temple in Kawagoe, the mimosa blooming within the precincts brightens the scenery with its gentle yellow. The combination of the ancient temple and the fluffy mimosa creates an indescribably soothing atmosphere.
