At Shorinzan Daruma Temple, a photo capturing what felt like "Daruma's gaze peering through the gaps in the ema."

This photograph blurs the votive tablets in the foreground while capturing the quietly standing Daruma in the background. The contrast between the votive tablets and the Daruma is striking. Shōrinzan Daruma Temple is a perfect spot for photography, where the vivid red Daruma figures catch the eye. Each one possesses a unique expression and shape, never failing to captivate the viewer. The distinctive scenery created by the countless donated Daruma figures is undoubtedly something you'll want to capture in a photograph.
