FROM THE GARDEN OF ZEN

My photographic notes about the four seasons in Kamakura or the gardens of Zen

November 17, 2009

The pink feathery flowers of Sazanka are blossoming gently and genuinely in the inconspicuous places.

These autumnal flowers appear to be beautiful corsages for the quiet garden of this particular season.

Kunihiko: Kamakura City, Kanagawa, Japan; The area called "Kita-kamakura" or Northern Kamakura was a cradle of Zen Buddhism in Japan and is characterized by the presence of the historic and prominent Zen temples of Rinzai School. The profoundness and spirituality of Zen can still be sensed vividly in the quiet scenes of these temples and their natural surroundings. When I go for a walk in the peaceful gardens of these temples, I always carry my camera to capture the unforgettable moments of wonder which I encounter only once in a lifetime.
