This photograph is a view of manjusaka (higanbana) flowers taken at "No. 8 Wild Buddha" in the Takumi no Sato area of Minakami Town, Gunma Prefecture. The stamp stand in the foreground and the lanterns in the background were carefully considered in the composition, resulting in an impressive picture in which tradition and nature are in harmony. Takumi no Sato, located in Minakami Town, Gunma Prefecture, is a tourist destination surrounded by traditional rural scenery and abundant nature. Hands-on workshops such as woodworking, ceramics, and Japanese paper making are scattered throughout the satoyama, offering fun for both adults and children. In autumn, the roadsides are covered with higanbana and cosmos flowers, and the area around Hachiban-no-butsu in particular is a popular spot for taking pictures of manjusaka flowers.
