Temple entrance beckons at twilight
夕暮れの丘の上、寺は手招きします。景色が門を枠に入れて、門も景色を枠に入れます。
Visiting a nearby gallery, I wanted to show my friend the Gokokuji temple, just past the station. It was more magical and quiet than I had remembered. I love the long climb up the hill, and how the landscape frames the entrance gate, which in turn further frames the landscape.
Many thanks for always keeping me in touch with the beauty and wonderment of Japan. As I have not been in years…..I do miss it.
Thank you!
