FROM THE GARDEN OF ZEN

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

July 1, 2015

The little violet flowers of Iwa-tabako are showing up bashfully under the thick leaves on the wet rock surface.

In Kita-kamakura, these fragile star-shaped flowers bloom and vanish inconspicuously in the start of the rainy 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.
