This photograph was taken at Satte Gongen-do, deliberately focusing on the purple hydrangeas while allowing the greenery behind to become a soft, rounded bokeh. The charm of Satte Gongen-do's hydrangeas lies in their beauty being enjoyable regardless of the weather. They appear vividly vibrant under blue skies and softly subdued on cloudy days, allowing for expressions tailored to the photographer's intent.
