This photograph captures the gate of Sensoji Temple from beneath a weeping cherry tree just beginning to shed its blossoms. The falling petals created a quiet moment that signaled the end of spring. In springtime, Sensoji Temple, with its weeping cherry trees swaying in the breeze alongside the gate and five-storied pagoda, evokes the changing seasons. Visiting in the quiet early morning allows you to encounter a serene side of Asakusa, distinct from its bustling crowds.
