These are photos of lotus flowers. This is important flower for buddhism.
I think you can see this flower at Tsurugaoka hachiman at Kamakura in August for example.
(Sometimes you can find on a little big pond in front of temple or shrine.)
This blooms in the summer morning. Pink and white.
Inside this flower , there is round fruit.
When you see statues of budda, kannon, etc, you can find they stand on this flower fruit.s.
Left bosatsu style is a little different from usual one.
Usually he stands on one flower.
It is said Bosatsu comes to take us to heaven, so, bosatsu can walk.
So, this bosatsu stands on two lotus flowers.
