I am preserving Ryōan-ji on April 8, 2026, for posterity.
This is a photo collection created in order to preserve forever the cherry blossoms of Ryōan-ji that I encountered beneath a blue sky beyond compare.
For the music, I used Andrea Fallico plays Camille Saint-Saëns Clarinet Sonata op.167, available on YouTube.
It is the video released by Andrea Fallico from the semi-final round of the Prague Spring International Music Competition 2022.
Please experience the stillness of Ryōan-ji, the light of spring, and the true essence of its cherry blossoms.
