01=Moon, Winter
02=Moon, Spring
03=Moon, Autumn
Displayed in the living area of the flagship suite, TAKUMI, this series celebrates the beauty of Hakone through the changing seasons, with the moon serving as a luminous canvas. Snow-covered mountains evoke a sense of clarity and stillness. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom gracefully across the mountainsides. In autumn, Hakone's vibrant foliage unfolds like a richly woven tapestry of color. Each scene is delicately expressed upon the pure radiance of the moon, revealing the quiet beauty of nature as it changes throughout the year.
