I will chane my address
2011年10月31日
I(Oda) decided to change my address next month.
It will be another place in Kyoto, where I live.
Now my address is near the neighborhood of Gion (祇園).
Gion is a district with a long history, that developed from within the
precinct of Kennin-ji(建仁寺), a famous Zen temple.
Next mont I will start to live near Tofuku-ji (東福寺), another famous
Zen temple.
The name of Tofuku-ji was taken from Todai-ji(東大寺) and Kofuku-ji(興福寺), two old and influential temples in Nara.
The name of Tofuku-ji implies its magnificence that can match the preceding great temples.
Indeed, its precinct was once quite large.
Now it has shrunk to today’s size, but still is boasts a rich complex of
buildings.
Tofuku-ji has many elegant Sekitei(石庭), gardens with stones and sand.
Plus it pleases visitors for scenery with famous tinted leaves in deep
autumn.
This autumn it has been more hot than warm, so probably leaves will get tinted late.
I expect I will be able to meet beautiful scenery around Tofuku-ji when I move there.
