Kakitsubata (iris) flowers: Kaizo-ji
The vivid violet flowers and green sword-like leaves of Kakitsubata are mirrored on the calm surface of the pond, which is covered with the minute rippling waves created by a gentle spring breeze.
The bright vermilion of the azalea flowers blooming in the quiet garden behind the pond is reflected like a flaming bonfire and is adorning the mirror image shimmering on the jet-black water with the color of a fire.

Kakitsubata (Iris laevigata) flowers: Kaizo-ji
The vivid violet flowers and blue-green leaves of Kakitsubata (rabbit-ear iris) were clearly reflected in the quiet water of the pond.
All of a sudden, a scarlet carp broke the calm water and made a loud splash in the deep stillness like a thundering shout of an old Zen master.

Kaiu (arum lily) and Kakitsubata (Iris laevigata) flowers: Kaizo-ji
Rain clouds are starting to gather thick above this garden.
At the water's edge of the quiet pond, the white silky flowers of calla and iris are blooming secretly without being noticed.
The gentle sunlight is descending from the cloudy sky and is caressing these dainty flowers tenderly before it starts raining.
