This photograph was taken at Otone, the birthplace of children's songs. I deliberately blurred the water hyacinths in the foreground and focused on the flowers in the background, consciously aiming to create a bokeh effect on the water's surface. At Otone, the birthplace of children's songs, water hyacinths can be seen coloring the waterside depending on the season. The pale purple flowers swaying in the wind exude a somewhat fantastical atmosphere, lending a sense of transparency to the photograph alongside the quiet flow of time.
