This photograph was taken at the Kiyose Sunflower Festival, capturing the sunflowers in the background tilting sideways through the gaps between the blooms, viewed from behind. The composition, with its open view and play of light and shadow, evokes the rhythm of nature.In a corner of Kiyose City, Tokyo, lies a place that seems to capture a moment of summer. The Kiyose Sunflower Festival is a fleeting miracle: sunflowers blooming en masse under the dazzling sun, spreading across a vast expanse that feels impossible for Tokyo. This scene is not merely a “flower field,” but a crystallized moment of summer passion, the brilliance of life, and light itself.Countless flowers blooming under the intense sun radiate overwhelming vitality when captured with a wide-angle lens, while the shadows cast by translucent petals in backlighting carry a certain ephemeral quality. Walking among the towering blooms is an intensely immersive experience, almost forgetting reality, like traveling through a tale of light and shadow. Their ever-changing expressions with each viewing angle offer new discoveries with every photo, making it impossible to stop pressing the shutter.※Some dates require reservations. ※Morning and evening photography is not permitted due to opening hours.
