Flowering of KATAKURI, originally uploaded by photoholic image.

KATAKURI will be their best to see in the next few days.

The image was taken by FUJIFILM X-E1 + Nikkor-S Auto 50mm f1.4
The lens above had been used my father and if I'm not mistaken that the first release of the lens is more than 40 years ago.
This lens is one of the mementos from my father, and I sometime use it to remember my father.
