This photograph captures a peony flower displaying a slightly melancholic expression, focusing on the fading color and decay of its petals. Yagumi Inari Shrine in Higashimatsuyama City is also a popular spot for spring photography. The wisteria trellis features beautifully cascading wisteria blossoms; when captured in a photograph, it looks like a painting.The shrine grounds' peony garden displays rows of large, vividly colored blooms. The gradations of red, white, and peach create a visually delightful space. It's a luxurious place where you can simultaneously enjoy the beauty of the flowers and the shrine's architecture.
