Taizoin Temple

Taizoin Temple

One of the temples in Myoshinji that allows visitors is Taizoin Temple.  It is one of the oldest sub-temples and was built in 1404.   It consists of 3 beautiful gardens and a cemetery.  There are so many temples in Kyoto to find and explore.  I prefer to find the quite mellow ones that allow me to peacefully stroll around while taking photographs. Today’s configuration: Leica M6 with various Leica lenses shot on Kodak Ektar film.

The borrowed view...after visiting many temples in Kyoto I really began to appreciate 'the framed view'.   It is unlikely I will ever have one of these in Tokyo.

The entrance to the first garden is met with a massive hanging Cherry Blossom tree...   This must look beautiful in spring!   I didn't shoot the Cherry Blossoms much this year in Tokyo but I think next year I might need to in Kyoto.
