For these breathtaking photos, Takano traveled to Wakayama prefecture’s Koyasan, a mountain known for its temples dedicated to Shingon Buddhism. Pictured in them is the head temple of Kongobuji, and Takano’s timing of the photos makes the already gorgeous sight of the temple in falling snow seem out of this world.
