Temple visit

Today our tutor, Toshihiro Komatsu(http://www.toshihirokomatsu.com/index.html) took us to the Shoden-ji Temple.


Beautiful surroundings, walking up through a green wooded area up to the temple. The garden has small trees and white sand and borrows from the landscape behind it. It was in the process of having the roof replaced, and as it is a temple they have special scaffolding for this, made of wood rather than steel.


I liked the quirky stuff outside, small sculptures and things. Like this one:


Great class trip.
