This photo was taken at the moment the sun shines on the torii gate and the shadow falling on the azalea in the foreground. I felt a sense of the season in the shadows created by the natural light. In spring at Nezu Shrine, the azalea garden that stretches across the shrine grounds is at its best when azaleas of all colors are in full bloom. The azalea garden, which stretches across the shrine grounds in spring, is at its best when azaleas of all colors are in full bloom, including red, white, pink, and purple, creating a carpet of color. The beautiful harmony of the shrine's serene atmosphere and the gorgeous azaleas is a delight to the eyes of visitors.
