I visited Ikkyu-ji(Zen-temple) in August 7. This is my second time.
Ikkyuji-temple belongs to the Rinzai-sect(Daitokuji-group). Located in South Kyoto.
Ikkyu is a radical zen monk in Muromachi Period.
He grasped the essence of the life and death.
The Approach in mid Summer.
In Japan, it's very hot this year. But, this place is little bit cool.
Mossy, but nice place.
Zen-garden.
Breathtaking!
I love sky.
the use of natural scenery aroud the temple.
Ikkyu literally mean is "a short rest".
It's a very funny. Clean up the dust inside of your mind.
