This photograph quietly captures two ducks on an underwater flower at Amabiki Kannon. The scenery at Amabiki Kannon is more than just an object of beauty to be appreciated; it forms a kind of “place” where nature, life, and faith intersect. In early summer, when hydrangeas and underwater flowers are in bloom, animals coexist not as special beings but as a natural part of the space, which in itself can be a religiously and ethically instructive experience.
