Ajisai (hydrangea) flowers: Kencho-ji

Ajisai (hydrangea) flowers: Kencho-ji

In the grounds of Kencho-ji temple, at the end of the narrow byway, there is the minor temple called Kaishun-in (rejuvenation temple) as if to hide itself deeply in the shallow valley.

Ajisai (hydrangea) flowers are quietly blooming along the pond in the tranquil garden of the temple without being seen by anyone. They are bathed in the precious dazzling sunlight of the rainy season, and are reflected on the calm surface of the pond, where a gentle breeze continues to slightly ripple the water.
