A photo taken at Tōkō-ji Temple (Azumino City) showing the large geta in front of the temple gate and the temple visible in the background

This photo was taken at Tōkō-ji Temple (Azumino City) and captures both the large geta placed in front of the temple gate and the temple itself visible in the background. I composed the shot with the temple’s distinctive large geta in the foreground to convey the atmosphere of the temple grounds.
