This photo was taken looking up at the blossoms on the large magnolia tree within the temple grounds. The softly spreading white petals stood out beautifully against the blue sky. At the historic Chūin Temple in Kawagoe, mimosa trees adorned in soft yellow bloom in early spring, adding warmth to the tranquil space. The scene woven by the old buildings and the mimosa's warm hues evokes a sense of nostalgia, creating a moment that lingers in the heart.
