In the Passage of Seasons

Seasons are changing ceaselessly like an endless stream of water.

In this everlasting passage of seasons, every living thing silently tells me about the wonders of the universe where I live.

The Word of Zen

The Word of Zen
However thick a bamboo grove is, a stream is free to flow through it. However high a mountain is, a white cloud is free to drift over it.

About Me

My photo
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.
