Oshi Castle, located in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture, has a rich history dating back to the late 15th century. Despite facing numerous attacks, this formidable castle never succumbed. While the original structure no longer stands, visitors can still witness the earthen foundation of the main castle, the towering stone walls, the Korai Gate, and other fascinating ruins. The reconstructed "Three-storied Tower" from the Edo Period now houses captivating exhibits, offering visitors a glimpse into the past. Ascend to the observation room on the highest floor for a breathtaking view of Gyoda City. My visit at twilight revealed an eerily silent and empty atmosphere, evoking the enchanting aura of this ancient site.

Shot at Sakitama Kofun Park, famous for cherry blossoms blooming on top of burial mounds in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture. At night, there was a clear weather forecast and I took out my camera and appreciated the cherry blossoms and starry sky under the cold sky. The rays of light running down the stairs were caused by the flashlights held in the hands of the students who came to admire the cherry blossoms at night. I really like the way the rays bounce and ripple as you descend the stairs, as if to express that the students were also enjoying this space. I also find the contrast between the pale lines of the background drawn by the stars and the intense light of artificial light interesting.
