FROM THE GARDEN OF ZEN

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

January 14, 2013

The hand-woven straw enclosure protects the silky and delicate flowers of winter peony against the snow, frost and cold of this severe 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.
