This photograph captures the quiet yet powerful presence of camellias floating in the darkness at Jizōin Temple.

This photograph captures camellia blossoms floating in the darkness, taken in a quiet place untouched by light. It was a shot that conveyed a sense of strength within its calmness. At Jizoin Temple, a modest yet profoundly evocative spring landscape unfolds, woven from cherry blossoms and camellias. The charm lies in being able to frame both the fading camellias and the fully blooming cherry blossoms together, expressing the changing seasons.It's a tranquil spot within the temple grounds where you can enjoy photography, carefully exploring compositions and the play of light.
