" I thought of a labyrinth of labyrinths, of one sinuous spreading labyrinth that would encompass the past and the future and in some way involve the stars."

Weeping Plum Tree in Full Bloom This soft and ethereal photograph captures a magnificent weeping plum tree (shidare-ume) in full bloom, showcasing the delicate beauty of early spring in Japan. The ancient, gnarled trunk of the tree curves gracefully through the center of the frame, its dark, textured bark providing a strong contrast to the dense explosion of color surrounding it. Countless cascading branches draped in vibrant pink blossoms flow downward, creating a "radiant" and immersive canopy that almost entirely fills the composition. The blossoms are rendered in various shades of soft pink and magenta, with the sunlight filtering through the petals to create a luminous, dreamlike effect. The shallow depth of field softly blurs the foreground and background, making the central tree appear as if it is enveloped in a mist of flowers. This species (Prunus mume) typically blooms from late February to mid-March, offering a serene and "luminous" precursor to the later cherry blossom season.

Weeping plum blossoms, specifically a variety known as shidare ume, in Japan. While often mistaken for cherry blossoms (sakura), these plum blossoms are a distinct species (Prunus mume) that typically bloom earlier, from late February to mid-March. Hosa Photo

Mt. Fuji and the Suruga Bay Coastline This breathtaking aerial photograph by Hiramoto’s net offers a wide-angle perspective of Mt. Fuji and the surrounding Shizuoka landscape. The iconic, snowless volcanic peak rises majestically in the upper right, its dark silhouette partially ringed by a thick band of white clouds that separate it from the earth below. In the foreground, the curved coastline of Suruga Bay stretches across the frame, with the sunlight creating a brilliant, shimmering silver reflection on the water's surface. The dense urban sprawl of the coastal cities is visible as a dark, textured expanse beneath the morning haze, while a secondary layer of thin, wispy clouds floats across the center, adding a sense of immense scale and depth to the scene. The cool blue and gray tones of the sky and sea contrast with the soft white of the cloud banks, capturing a quiet, monumental moment in the Japanese landscape.

There is no death;
there is no life.,
Indeed, the skies are cloudless
And the river waters clear.

Pieces of Light and Love

small offerings,
everywhere—
a breath flows outward

the young man singing
in the produce aisle,
softly—
as if the apples
were listening

a girl's laughter
tossed like a coin,
spinning sunlight

the kind presence
attuned
to our rhythm,
unseen

It’s all relative
