The evening moon: Yuigahama-beach (Kamakura)

The evening moon: Yuigahama-beach (Kamakura)


The sun has just set beneath the distant horizon. In the swiftly fading twilight sky, the first quarter moon is shining brightly in silver above a series of low clouds.

The serene moon is reflecting the lucid light of the sun which has already disappeared from sight.

The gray fleecy clouds are gently drifting away on the soft sea breeze while changing their figures successively.

The moon is silently gazing at the people standing still at this seaside, like the eye which can see through all things wisely.

The darkness of night has just begun dominating the evening sky moment by moment. The golden flare of the setting sun is making the high cumulus clouds glow brightly in the west.

People are standing still on the edge of the sea silently as if to be enchanted by the magic spell of the ever-changing seascape under the twilight sky.

Calm twilight at Morito coast


Countless fleecy clouds are gently floating high up in the air. The evening sun has just sunk below the horizon.

The dim afterglow, which is a precious and transient gift from the setting sun, is subtly coloring the quiet sky violet and scarlet to let us sense the fineness of our universe at this very moment.

The waves are softly lapping the shore with pleasant sound as if to wash away the pain and distress of all living things in this peaceful twilight.
