The photographer captures the scene from a low angle, framing the entire persimmon tree and the eaves of the house, highlighting the lushness of the tree and the rustic charm of the eaves. The composition uses the eaves as a natural frame, enclosing the persimmon tree within, enhancing the formality of the image. Contrast is employed by using the gray tiles of the eaves and the orange-yellow color of the persimmons, making the main subject stand out. The natural curves of the branches and leaves complement the straight lines of the eaves, adding a sense of rhythm to the picture. A standard lens is used to realistically reproduce the scene, clearly showing the details of the persimmons, branches, and eaves, giving the image a natural and lifelike feel.

Admission: Free, but advanced reservation is required (Note: Those who couldn’t get a ticket can still queue up at the entrance, but be prepared for long lines).
