This photograph captures a duck looking sideways amidst mist at Amabiki Kannon, where light and shadow dance upon the water lilies.Amabiki Kannon stands as a symbolic place of coexistence, where multiple elements—nature and artifice, stillness and movement, humans and animals—gently overlap. In early summer, hydrangeas and water lilies add color, while creatures like goats, ducks, and white peacocks bring a soft vitality to the space. It truly embodies a "landscape of prayer and life."
