This photo captures the lonely appearance of a single red wind chime from the side of the wind chime display at the Kuizu Shrine. The contrast of color and space makes for an impressive composition. Kuizu Shrine in Iwatsuki Ward, Saitama Prefecture, is known as a popular photo spot for its summer wind-bell display. Multiple wind-bell zones have been set up on the shrine grounds, with red and blue wind bells neatly displayed in separate spaces. The sound of the wind chimes resonating each time the wind blows spreads comfortably throughout the precincts of the temple, providing visitors with a cool moment in both color and sound. The red wind chimes sparkle gorgeously in the sunlight through the trees, harmonizing with the shrine pavilions and surrounding greenery to create a vivid summer scene. The blue wind chimes are full of coolness, and each time the light passes through them, their quiet beauty is accentuated, creating a fantastic impression. Each zone has a different background and different lighting, making it possible to encounter a completely different look each time you photograph it. Please enjoy the unique summer wind-bell photo shoot at Kuizu-jinja Shrine in Iwatsuki.
