Love the soft carpeting of moss that grows during this time of year!
The ever-present crow is a constant nuisance in urban environments, but seems quite at home in this garden.
If I could read Japanese, I would be able to understand who was of such significance that his likeness was carved into stone.
Obviously, this is one of thousands different caricatures of the Buddha. The garden includes a few national treasures on its premises.
I like the contrast of a thatched roof with wooden and bamboo eaves below.
An old-fashioned back porch and the huge stone that one would rest their feet on during a hot and humid summer day.
The design just below the roof is a common motif used in religious buildings of either Buddhist or Shinto traditions.
I could be happy with such a back porch. Winter would be a bit cold however!
The complexity of such a huge and heavy roof is amazing considering it was all hand-made with the aid of modern-day equipment.
Reflections in a small stream running by the old traditional house.
More moss covered rocks and wet stepping stones for the sidewalk -- love the color, light, and texture!
