Latest on Enkoji

On the 22nd of November in 2014, I visited Enkoji Temple in Rakuhoku area of Kyoto to participate in 'Autumn Leaves at Dawn: Special Viewing'.

I wanted to see the splendid Garden of Jyu-gyu (ten oxen) from the Hojo building, but there was a lot more to see here. I took some time to stroll around this beautiful garden and enjoy some blissful moments.

I imagined the clear sound from the beautiful belfry sounding in the splendid garden, as the smiling faces of adorable jizo statues soothed and relaxed the minds of visitors.
