Through the selective focus of a tilt-shift lens, the courtyard of the Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens is transformed into a whimsical miniature scene. European-inspired half-timbered buildings and a red brick clock tower anchor the composition, their details sharp within a narrow horizontal plane while the edges dissolve into blur. Festive adornments, including lush green garlands and oversized red bows, drape across the architecture and market stalls, enhancing the toy-like aesthetic. In the foreground, passersby are reduced to soft, abstract shapes, moving beneath the vibrant holiday decorations under a bright, cloud-dappled sky.
