This photo captures the feeling of "the moss garden and the Jizō statue's presence" at Myōgen-in Temple.

This photograph captures both the moss carpet discovered deep within Meigetsu-in's garden and the figure of a Jizo statue standing quietly nearby. Meigetsu-in is a temple brimming with the quintessential charm of Kamakura, offering not only the beauty of hydrangeas but also scattered highlights like round windows and irises. Seasonal flowers add color to its serene space, making it a place where you feel compelled to engage with each scene thoughtfully.
