This photograph captures the moment when the weeping cherry blossoms swaying in the wind seem to float gently upward. I pressed the shutter with the light, airy feel of spring in mind.Visiting Hōchōji Temple during cherry blossom season offers the chance to witness the fleeting beauty of weeping cherry blossoms overlapping with Buddhist statues. Each time the flowers sway in the breeze, gentle shadows form around the statues, spreading a stillness that feels like time has stopped. With fewer crowds and a serene atmosphere, it's the perfect place for those who want to carefully capture a moment of spring, allowing you to focus on your photography.
