Across the calm surface of the Genpei-ike Pond, where the numerous new leaves of sacred lotus have already begun floating to get ready for summer, the peony and azalea flowers are giving off brilliant colors in the fresh verdure of spring.
The Japanese umbrellas made with bamboo ribs covered with oil paper are erected to carefully protect the thin petals of the gorgeous peony flowers from the harsh sunlight and the rain.
