Visitors can experience traditional Japanese culture and peaceful surroundings, making it a popular spot for exploring Zen Buddhism.
急に冷え込み、本格的な冬の訪れを感じるようになりました。
秋への未練を断ち切り、冬の季節に向き合うときが来たようです。
昨日、今年の紅葉撮影を締めくくることにしました。最後に選んだ撮影スポットは、妙心寺の退蔵院でした。
退蔵院の庭園は、私にとって写真修行の場でした。
シンガポールでの暮らしを終え、京都に戻ってから、四季折々の退蔵院の庭園を撮り続けてきました。
あれから24年。退蔵院の庭園を撮影すると、自然と初心に立ち戻る思いが湧いてきます。
The temperature has suddenly dropped, and we can now feel the arrival of true winter.
It seems it’s time to let go of our attachment to autumn and face the winter season.
Yesterday, I decided to conclude this year’s autumn foliage photography. The last shooting spot I chose was Taizoin Temple at Myoshinji.
The Taizoin garden has been a place of photographic training for me.
After finishing my life in Singapore and returning to Kyoto, I have continued to photograph the Taizoin garden through all four seasons.
It’s been 24 years since then. When I photograph the Taizoin garden, I naturally find myself returning to the mindset of a beginner.
