At Sakuma Dam, this photo evokes the feeling of "narcissi with a blurred foreground to create depth."

This photograph was taken with a composition emphasizing depth, achieved by blurring the narcissus in the foreground to create a sense of three-dimensionality against the background scenery. At the Saku Dam Narcissus Festival, a winter tradition, countless narcissus blooming along the lakeshore welcome visitors.The narcissi, blooming magnificently in the crisp winter air, beautifully complement the blue sky and lake surface, while their refreshing fragrance soothes the soul. During the festival period, events offering local specialties and light meals are also held, making it a great opportunity to enjoy both the flowers and the charm of the region. The collaboration of the dam and narcissi, viewed from the observation deck, is a recommended scenic view unique to this location.
