In Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture, local shops and private homes welcome visitors with hanachozu (flower-filled water basins).
This time I went to see a light-up event themed “Light of Hope.”
At Gyoda Hachiman Shrine, the illuminated hanachozu were beautiful, and the whole shrine was decorated so nicely that I could take photos combining the lights with the autumn leaves.

I photographed this at a light-up event held at Mamada Hachimangu Shrine in Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture. The display of wagasa (Japanese paper umbrellas) was usually only shown on sunny weekends and was hard to see, but this time I visited for the first time. The autumn leaves were at their peak, the lighting was just right, and the wagasa stood out beautifully. It was a scene that truly evoked Japan.

This photo was taken at Kandokuji Temple on the Naka River in Tochigi Prefecture. Kandokuji is a historic temple with very large, impressive maple trees. This time I photographed Avalokitasvara and the autumn leaves, and it looks as if a tear is falling from Avalokitasvara’s eye. Did the statue feel happy because the leaves turned such splendid colors again this year?
