This photograph captures the beautiful contrast between the blue maple leaves beside the straight-growing cedar tree and the light streaming through at Amabiki Kannon. Amabiki Kannon transcends the boundaries of a mere religious facility; it is an extremely multi-layered cultural space that embodies the organic relationship between the natural environment, humans, and animals.In early summer, hydrangeas and water lilies coloring the entire precinct simultaneously evoke tranquility and splendor, deeply stirring the senses of visitors. Furthermore, the scenery where animals exist as part of nature prompts us to consider the nature of a "space coexisting with life."
