"The Pulse of Life" The old cherry tree stump, petals scattered around, and the fresh green that feels the pulse of new life. There, I sensed the repeating spring. Fukuoka, West Park

The Moment When the Forest Holds Its Breath Walking paths in West Park, Fukuoka. Spring sunlight filters through scattered cherry blossom petals. That slope was enveloped in a mysterious silence, as if it didn't even breathe.

The Silence of the Wind West Park, Fukuoka. There was something resembling a handwashing station near the bench at the top. Rainwater that had fallen earlier had collected there, and beautiful cherry blossoms floated on top. When I leaned in to take a closer look, I could see the cherry tree reflected before its petals fell. This mountaintop park, overlooking the sea, had strong winds, and I took several shots waiting for the water to settle, this being one of them.

"Memories of Passing Spring" Tenjin Chūō Park. In the morning, amidst the gentle rain. The cherry blossom season is coming to an end. The photos taken with an old lens evoke memories of the vibrant cherry blossom period.

The spring evening The moment the view opened up as I climbed the slope. Against the night sky, the lanterns illuminated the cherry blossoms vividly, and above them, a flawless moon shone brightly. Feeling the distant presence of the city, I was enveloped in a mysterious silence on the path of light. In this spring evening, the beauty of the cherry blossoms viewed in this crisp air is unforgettable. Location: Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture (Tateyama Park)

Azumino Cherry Blossom Blooming Information The cherry blossoms at the bicycle square are in full bloom. Today, Mt. Jonen was beautifully visible, allowing us to enjoy a quartet of cherry blossoms, shibazakura (moss phlox), fresh greenery, and the Northern Alps. For those coming by car, the area on the east side of the shooting spot tends to get crowded, so it might be better to use the parking lot on the west side.
