Every spring, the Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi, Japan, is flooded with vibrant, blossoming canopies of purple flowers. The realm is house to greater than 350 wisterias, together with one monumental specimen that’s not less than 150 years outdated, and hosts an annual pageant that illuminates the prolonged tendrils in opposition to the nighttime sky. For the previous few years, Ryo Tajima has visited the park, along with different places across the nation, to {photograph} the flowers as they attain peak bloom. His photos seize the gorgeous magnitude of the vines, displaying the breadth and density that seem to blow up with colour.
A few of Tajima’s wisteria images are compiled in a book from Nationwide Geographic, and you may observe his travels to doc cherry blossoms, cosmos, and fields teeming with lavender on Instagram.
