Sasanqua is one of very common flower in winter season to us Japanese people.
Though wild sasanqua is not living in northern area of Japan like here Sendai city, it is planted as hedge.

This sasanqua tree was planted on the border of Ubagami-kakizaki shrine located in Aoba-ku, Sendai.

Lifetime of sasanqua flower is very short. So, it's very hard to find "perfect" beautiful flower.
In this spot, you can find it easily.

I used very old lens XR RIKENON 50mm F2 for this shot. Though this lens was produced over 30 years ago, you must be surprised this photo's quality.

This XR RIKENON 50mm F2 is one of my favorite old lens.
