These are chrysanthemums seen at a zen temple named 'Se-n-ko-uj-i' near my house.
One of the supporters of this zen temple presented these flowers.
By the way, this temple appears in the mystery ; ' Go-ku-mo-n-to-u' written by Yokomizo Seishi who is one of the most famous mystery writers in Japan.
They are holding an event called 'Mystery Walk' now and this temple is in the course, so many people visit this temple.
So these flowers must be happy too !
This house and a shrine is famous though they seem to be nothing special.
The house is the place where one of the Japanese famous mystery writers, Yokomizo Seishi lived for three years after the World War second.
He was evacuated to the house and wrote his masterpieces there.
And this small shrine is famous for the name used in the mystery as Koichya no Baasan.
