Large shot of lanterns and blurred wisteria flowers at Kasama Inari Shrine

This photo was taken at the Kasama Inari Shrine, where I took a large shot of the lantern and blurred out the wisteria flowers. The contrast between the massiveness of the lantern and the softness of the wisteria in the background creates a strikingly Japanese atmosphere.
