Photographing a flower-adorned hand-washing basin decorated with red spider lilies at Saikō-ji Temple (Yokohama)

This photo was taken at Saikō-ji Temple (Yokohama) and shows a “hanatemizu” (flower-adorned water basin) decorated with red spider lilies. I took this photo of the hanatemizu, paying close attention to the colors and arrangement of the red spider lilies floating in the water, to capture the seasonal atmosphere of Saikō-ji Temple.
