The serene white peacock of Amabiki Kannon (Amabiki-yama Rakuhōji Temple)

This photograph captures a white peacock standing with dignified poise at Amabiki Kannon, radiating an air of pride. For photographers who find appeal in “shooting the entire space” rather than just individual flowers, Amabiki Kannon is an exceptionally satisfying location. It offers opportunities to experiment with compositions incorporating Japanese umbrellas and architectural elements to create depth, or to leverage the slope for photos with a sense of three-dimensionality.
