This photograph was taken with careful consideration of the placement of the cold-hardy red cherry blossoms and the Japanese white-eyes, composing the shot for balanced harmony. I worked to ensure the position of the white-eyes and the branching of the cherry tree naturally complemented each other. At Ebara Shrine in spring, the sight of Japanese white-eyes alongside the cold-hardy red cherry blossoms creates a distinctive scene, characterized by the colors of the flowers and birds. Within the shrine grounds, a statue of Ebisu, the god of fortune, stands enshrined, attracting worshippers who visit to pray for prosperous business.
