During my visit to western Japan last autumn, my final stop was Hiroshima. Despite its tragic history, the city serves as a powerful symbol of resilience, much like the phoenix rising from the ashes. The Hiroshima Castle, which was reconstructed after being destroyed in World War II, stands as a testament to this resilience. The castle grounds provide a peaceful retreat with a variety of trees and flowers, creating a beautiful and tranquil setting for visitors. Inside the castle tower, the museum offers a chance to explore the rich history of the Hiroshima castle town and provides breathtaking views of the city from the observation platform at the top.

The Great Torii (shrine gate) gate of Itsukushima Shrine The Great Torii (shrine gate), which can be said to be the symbol of Itsukushima Shrine, was built in 1168 (Nian 3) with the assistance of Taira Kiyomori, famous for "The Tale of the Heike".

It is a proboscis hornbeam community that grows wild in Oasa, Kitahiroshima-cho, Hiroshima. The squeaky and sloppy tree shape is eye-catching. It's like stepping into a magical world. With the arrival of spring, the young leaves are budding, and if you look closely, you will see that the flowers are also blooming. It seems that there are years when you can't see flowers, so I was lucky to meet them. Truly, nature is a wonderful designer.
