This photo was taken from a low angle to emphasize depth, focusing on the moss phlox in the foreground and softly blurring the foreground and background to create a sense of three-dimensionality. Misato Shibazakura Park, a springtime attraction Takasaki City is proud of. The moss phlox spreading across the gentle hills is meticulously cultivated by local residents, delighting visitors year after year. The pattern inspired by the weaver princess's robe is another unique charm of this park.
