This photo was taken at Nezu Shrine, where I felt "the torii gate and gingko over azalea".

I took this photo of the ginkgo tree and the torii gate seen through the azaleas. It was a view of the changing seasons, as if spring and early summer were intersecting. At Nezu Shrine, where the spring weather invites us to visit, azaleas are in full bloom and the scenery is rich in color. The gradation of red, pink, and purple flowers is breathtaking, a beauty that begs to be photographed. Feel the energy of spring in the tranquility of this historic shrine.
