252 妙顕寺 - Myoken-ji

Late Nov '13

妙蓮寺の近くにある妙顕寺も、とても美しい庭園を持っています。
客殿の前庭は「龍華飛翔の庭」(四海唱導の庭)と言われています。

天明の大火により焼失してしまい、現在の庭園は江戸時代に作庭されたものです。

廊下を通り、突如視界に入るモミジの美しさに思わず声が出てしまいました。

A front garden of the reception hall was named "Ryuka Hisho-no-Niwa" or "Shikai Shodo-no-Niwa".

The original garden was destroyed in 1788 when the Great Fire of the Tenmei era.
Therefore the current garden was  reinstated in Edo period however there are no records about the original garden, unfortunately.

After walking the corridor, beautiful acers will catch your eyes.
I let out a marvel sound.

There are four gardens in this temple so I would like to admire all four gardens next time.
