The rainy season has already begun here, and the shady ground and plantings of the gardens are softly filled with moisture. The purple star-shaped flowers of Iwatabako (Conandron ramondioides) are timidly showing their faces between the glossy leaves on the damp rock wall like the tender rain-fairies that are staring at this world wonderingly.
In Kita-kamakura, during this rainy season, the thick green plants and the moss-covered rocks of the old gardens become moist with rainwater, presenting particularly quiet and subtle beauty under the pale sky.
Although the leading flowers of this season are colorful hydrangeas, the small Iwatabako flowers, which seem to be hiding in the shadow of the flamboyant hydrangeas, are also indispensable for the transient and memorable sceneries of the gray rainy season.
