This photograph captures both the Kanhi-zakura blossoms and the statue of Ebisu-sama together, aiming to convey the vibrant colors of spring and the atmosphere of the shrine. I consciously balanced the vividness of the flowers with the calm presence of Daikoku-sama. At Ebara Shrine, Japanese white-eyes arrive with the blooming of the Kanhi-zakura, and you can see them sipping nectar. The deep pink of the cherry blossoms harmonizes with the vivid green of the white-eyes, signaling the arrival of spring.Within the shrine grounds stands a statue of Ebisu, revered as the guardian deity of prosperous business and fishing.
