大和奈良春日神社
Kasuga Shrine, Nara, Yamato Province
A bright path runs between dark groves toward a roof in the distance. Kasuga Shrine, named in the title, changed its name in 1946 and is now called Kasuga Taisha.
About this photo
A bright path starts in the foreground and bends slightly to the right as it goes deeper in. On the left runs a low fence or hedge, with a thick tree trunk rising high above it. On the right, dark trees crowd together, and higher up, bright sky shows through the branches.
The title reads "Yamato Nara Kasuga Jinja." Kasuga Shrine changed its name in 1946 and became today's Kasuga Taisha, which is also part of a World Heritage Site.
At the far end of the path, among the trees, a single building with a long, low roof comes into view. With the dark groves closing in from both sides, following the bright path brings your eye to rest on that roof.
