It looks like a garden cultivated specifically to create that flowers-like-falling-rain. Perhaps like the avenues of trees cultivated largely for their cherry blossoms? I don't know if there is a term for this Japanese love of the falling blossom, but it seems like it is a core quality of being Japanese. Perhaps the Japanese love of the camera is related: a desire to depict the ephemeral beauty, as you have done here with Wisteria, which I've of course seen, but never like this.
As you say, Japanese people may have a strong tendency to perceive beauty in the way flowers fall, and your point about the connection between the transience of beauty and the Japanese love of cameras resonated with me.
藤 Wisteria are so beautiful when, I always feel slightly letdown when a walk through a trellis in the wrong season because I’m missing the blooms. Nice photos.
Beautiful! I look forward to your posts everyday!
Thank you always for viewing my posts, and I truly appreciate your support for my publications.
Good work, as always.
Thank you! I always appreciate you viewing at my photos.
Wisteria also can grow in America and I had some vines in my yard but not as gorgeous as this.
I took these photos in a place known for its wisteria, so the views were especially spectacular.

If I had a cup of warm sake, I'd raise it to you.

Thank you! The shorter the flowering period, the more beautiful they are.
This is so quintessentially Japanese, I think: seeing beauty in the evanescent.
Why does it look so great? Wholesome. This is why. It is because you are an avatar of wholesomeness itself :D
Thank you! I haven't done anything that would qualify me to be called an "avatar of wholesomeness", but I feel very honored. (^O^)
You would be surprised :D
Perhaps these hint of Kannon's hair as she walks in beauty, or her tears for the fallen world.
Purple has been considered a noble color in Japan since ancient times, so your expression makes sense.
