This photo was taken at the Kuizu Shrine with the second wind chime from the front of the blue wind chime display in focus and the wind chimes in front and behind softly blurred. This photo gives a sense of three-dimensional depth and rhythm. At Kuizu Shrine in Iwatsuki, a beautiful wind-bell display is available only in summer and is a must-see spot for photography enthusiasts. Multiple zones are set up on the shrine grounds, with red and blue wind chimes hung in separate spaces, each creating a different atmosphere. The sound that echoes whenever the wind blows resonates with the colors and delivers a refreshing summery coolness. The red wind chimes stand out strongly in the sunlight, creating a gorgeous picture with the shrine pavilions and green background. Blue wind chimes reflect soft light with their transparency, creating pictures of quiet beauty. Depending on the composition, blurring the shrine pavilion in the background or using a simple composition with the wind chimes as the main subject is also recommended. The time spent searching for light and color while touring the irregularly arranged wind chime zones will itself be a memorable experience of summer.
