青蓮院
Made by congaragata
On that day, the lighting wasn't very spectacular and the greens were more brown than anything else but this place has potential. Certainly a temple that I will visit again at another time of the year. The garden in Shoren-in is built utilizing the base of Mt. Awata. It is said this tranquil and profound garden is designed by So-ami during Muromachi era. The garde at the east side of Soka-den, called Garden of Kirishima designed by Enshu Kobori, adds beautiful colours of flowers including azalea planted all over the slope beside Kobun-tei and other flowers such as cape jasmine and Japanese andromeda planted in between. One corner of Kobun-tei offers a different atmosphere, which is said to be designed by Yu-hi Omori. His career, dates of his birth/death and his other works are not known. Despite no evidence, there is no doubt that this is one of the most beautiful Japanese gardens utilizing natural beauty in the surroundings.
