This photograph focuses on a hydrangea pot placed in the quiet shade of the Ichijō Keikan Mountain Villa, its modest yet vivid colors blending into the garden's charming scenery.The Ichijō Keikan Mountain Villa in Kamakura is a Kyoto-associated mountain retreat built by Prince Ichijō Keikan, son of Emperor Go-Yōzei. Its relocated buildings and garden preserve the aura of bygone days. During the rainy season, hydrangeas bloom softly; the flower hand-watering, with flowers floating on water flowing from bamboo tubes, welcomes visitors; and autumn foliage vividly colors the end of the seasons.
