The Saga Chrysanthemum is a unique variety of ancient chrysanthemum that Emperor Saga admired for its noble appearance and fragrance. Over many years, this chrysanthemum has been cultivated with an imperial aesthetic, shaped into a singular style embodying elegance and sophistication. The Saga Chrysanthemum, carefully nurtured and preserved within Daikaku-ji Temple, is considered “sacred and never to be taken outside its grounds.”

As the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025 approaches, neighboring Kyoto is buzzing with anticipation, preparing to leverage its rich cultural heritage and timeless beauty in support of this momentous event. The city eagerly awaits the economic benefits that will ripple through various industries, recognizing its pivotal role in the Expo's success.
As a photographer, I am dedicated to capturing Kyoto's vibrant spirit and unique charm during this historic period. Through my lens, I aim to document not just the city's scenic beauty, but also its dynamic energy as it engages with the global spotlight of the Expo, contributing to both its immediate impact and enduring legacy.
Kyoto continues to evolve as a premier destination, with endless possibilities in tourism development, luxury market expansion, and innovative branding strategies.
