Samurai are born aware of their "honor" The goal of the aspiring samurai was not wealth or knowledge, but honor. Honor is a goal to be pursued "within oneself," without regard to profit or loss. Therefore, "honor" that is concerned with public reputation is not real honor. #osakacastle #samurai #harakiri #bushido #katana

I photographed fallen leaves in a mountain stream in Aridagawa Towns, Wakayama Prefecture. The fallen leaves, which rotate around while changing their shape from moment to moment, make you forget the passage of time and look at them.

Autumn leaves I met on the way to shoot. Fascination by the style of the old trees.

I visited Sakuma Dam today. The leaves of the spindle tree turned bright red and many berries appeared. Perhaps because the weather was fine, some people were enjoying a walk. It’s not too cold, so it’s a perfect time for a stroll. 😀 It will still be a little while before the narcissus season, but please come visit Kyonan Town. #Kyonan Town #Sakuma Dam Lake Lakeside Park #Spindle tree autumn leaves

Metasequoia trees in Makino Highlands, Shiga Prefecture 2023.12.02 It was raining, but the sun shone just a little.

Autumn leaves in Kyorinbo 2023.12.02 The bright red carpet was beautiful. It is said to have been founded by Prince Shotoku in 605 AD, and was named "Kyorinbo" because he preached in a place surrounded by forests. The Kannon-sama of the Honzon is also made by Prince Shotoku, and is called Akagawa Kannon, and has gathered faith that difficult wishes can be fulfilled if you visit twice. 　In addition, the Garden that spreads out in the Precincts is said to be the work of Enshu Kobori, and the exciting Momoyama period scenic Garden with a series of mossy boulders, together with the thatched Shoin (early Edo, city-designated cultural property), creates the atmosphere of a hidden village of wabi-sabi. 　In late autumn, the approximately 300 old trees with Autumn leaves that fill the 2,000 tsubo Precincts are dyed bright red, and the contrast with the thousands of bamboo trees surrounding them fascinates visitors. Held in Autumn leaves Light up is also held from November 15 to December 5 every year.
