Suisen (Narcissus) flowers: Kaizo-ji
The dead autumn leaves, which had flaming colors before, are gradually decomposed into dust by microorganisms on the ground and provide rich nutrients for the new birth of lives in springtime.
On the moss-covered slope, by the side of the decayed stumps, the vivid yellow flowers of Narcissus are blooming innocently like little children.
In the cycle of the seasons, the wheel of life is turning endlessly.

Suisen (Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis) flowers in Engaku-ji
The flowers of narcissus are in full bloom in the spring gardens of Kita-kamakura.
Usually these flowers bloom in midwinter and give off a pleasant fragrance in the chilly scentless air.
In the sunny gardens where spring has awakened, the delightful aroma of ume flowers is pervading the warm air and innocently concealing the precious fragrance of these late-blooming narcissus flowers.

A Suisen (daffodil) flower in Tokei-ji temple
It striked me that this offered beautiful flower was softly praying to the small stone statue of Jizo-bosatsu for divine mercy on behalf of us all.

Narcissus flowers in Jochi-ji temple
Thanks to the clear and cold air of midwinter, I can discover the presence of precious flowers by scenting instead of sighting.
It is a great preasure to encounter flowers blooming sweetly in a wintry scene of withered vegetation.
