This photo captures what I perceived as a traditional Japanese composition of a red bridge and cherry blossoms at Hikawa Myojin Shrine.

This photograph captures the red shrine bridge spanning the river alongside the cherry trees blooming on both banks. The composition exudes a strong sense of traditional Japanese atmosphere. Hikawa Nyotai Shrine in Midori Ward, Saitama City, is a venerable ancient shrine with a history of approximately 2,000 years. Ancient trees stand within its grounds, enveloped in the solemn atmosphere of nature throughout the changing seasons.
