This photo captures the feeling of "the approach to Jōju-in Temple seen through hydrangeas" at Jōju-in Temple.

This photograph was taken by focusing on the hydrangeas at Jōjū-in Temple and blurring the approach path leading into the distance to create a sense of depth. Jōjū-in Temple in Kamakura is a quiet temple nestled near Gokuraku-ji Temple. During the rainy season, hydrangeas adorn the approach path, welcoming visitors. Combined with the view of Yuigahama Beach from the hilltop, it creates a quintessential Kamakura landscape.
