This photograph captures the moment a Japanese white-eye spreads its wings while flitting among the flowers of the Kanhi-zakura. While emphasizing the dynamic scene, the shot utilizes background blur to make the subject stand out. During the blooming season, Japanese white-eyes gather around the Kanhi cherry trees at Ebara Shrine, seeking nectar from the flowers. The colors of the cherry blossoms and the feathers of the white-eyes add vibrancy to the shrine grounds. Additionally, the statue of Ebisu within the grounds is cherished by people praying for prosperous business.
