Senso-ji Under the Starry Sky – Serenity and Solemnity at Midnight

/

On the night of August 14th, 2025, I made a special trip to Senso-ji to capture its serene moments under the starry sky with a wide-aperture lens. In contrast to the bustling daytime crowds, only about a dozen visitors remained at midnight. The five-story pagoda appeared exceptionally beautiful against the star-filled sky. Although the main hall was closed, the courtyard stayed brightly lit with devotees still drawing fortune slips. Looking back at Kaminarimon Gate before leaving, the statues of Fujin and Raijin stood quietly, guarding this sacred ground. This night at Senso-ji revealed a unique atmosphere where relaxation and solemnity coexisted, offering a peaceful tranquility completely different from daytime.

I visited Lukang Longshan Temple on an afternoon in June 2025, capturing the play of light and shadow across this historic site. From the Qing Dynasty stone lions at the main gate and eighteen arhats, to the dragon pillars inscribed with “Second year of Xianfeng,” and the expressive Eight Immortals sculptures above the five-gate hall, every detail showed remarkable craftsmanship. Surrounded by rising incense smoke, I felt the devotion of worshippers and tried to capture through my lens the moments where traditional architecture and faith culture meet.

Golden Light Over Sacred Grounds – A Peaceful Afternoon at Meiji Shrine

/

On a Tuesday afternoon in February 2025, I visited Meiji Shrine in central Tokyo. I walked through Japan’s largest wooden torii gate made from Taiwan cypress with its natural aged character, strolled along the tree-lined path where light and shadow danced together, and admired the Imperial chrysanthemum emblems and the impressive wall of sake barrels. As I left, the low golden sunlight covered the entire shrine, making everything look noble and special. It was a peaceful and memorable visit.
