Wishes floating in the blue sky. 🐚✨
Instead of traditional wooden plaques, this shrine in Mie, Japan uses colorful "Hiougi-gai" (Noble Scallops) as Ema to hold people's prayers.

Three rows of colorful scallop shells hanging from horizontal bamboo poles against a clear, bright blue sky. The shells are vibrant purple, orange, red, and yellow. Handwritten Japanese messages (wishes) are written on each shell in black ink. In the background, the horizon of the blue ocean is faintly visible. These serve as "Ema" (votive tablets) at Isobuezaki Observatory.

The perfect autumn gradient. 🍁✨
This style is called "Hanachozu" (floating flowers/leaves in a water basin). A moment of Zen in Kyoto.
「そうだ 京都、行こう。」
その言葉通りの美しさがここにありました。紅葉のグラデーションに癒やされます。
#Japan #Kyoto #Autumn #Momiji #Hanachozu #Wabisabi #Photography
A detailed top-down photograph of a traditional Japanese stone water basin, known as a tsukubai, filled with water. Numerous Japanese maple leaves float on the surface, arranged in a stunning natural color gradient that transitions smoothly from green leaves on the left to yellow, orange, and deep red leaves on the right. The back rim of the ancient-looking stone basin is covered with thick green moss, adorned with branches bearing clusters of small red berries. A wooden bamboo ladle rests across the right side of the basin. Written in Japanese characters on the bottom of the ladle cup is the famous phrase "そうだ 京都、行こう。" which translates to "That's it, let's go to Kyoto." The scene captures a peaceful, artistic moment of autumn in a Japanese garden.
