This photograph was taken at the lotus pond of Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu Shrine, with the white lotus flowers and the buildings in the background juxtaposed in the composition, with an eye toward creating a historical scene in a tranquil setting. Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, a tourist attraction in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, is popular as a shrine where visitors can experience history in a natural setting. Especially recommended in summer are the lotus flowers blooming in "Genpei-ike Pond," which from July to August looks like a beautiful flower garden spreading along the water's edge, delighting the eyes of visitors. The lotus flowers shining in the morning sun and the main shrine building and torii gate rising in the background are the very scenery that symbolizes the beauty of Kamakura. It is an excellent location for photographing and for those who enjoy landscape photography.
