This photograph captures hydrangeas found just before the temple gate of Tokeiji Temple. Nestled in the quiet northern Kamakura area, Tokeiji is a historic Zen temple known as a "temple for severing ties." With a background as a refuge temple that once supported many women, a solemn atmosphere lingers within the grounds, reminiscent of that era.Flowers of all seasons adorn the grounds, delighting visitors especially with early summer hydrangeas, irises during the rainy season, and autumn foliage. *Please note that photography is prohibited inside the temple grounds beyond the gate.
