Fresh leaves of May in Tsurugaoka-hachimangu


In the bright sunlight of the afternoon, the dense growth of fresh green leaves dazzled my eyes.

The quiet vermilion of the old shrine enhanced the vivid greenness of the leaves as if this shrine paid a tribute of praise to them.

Fresh leaves in Tsurugaoka-hachimangu


The beautiful combination of green colors of fresh leaves made me sense the calm but energetic renewing of life force in spring.

These trees stand beside the "Genpei-ike" pond in this shrine.

The dark quiet surface of water between the trees seems like the secret path toward the far distant bamboo grove where sages live.
