 Traveling in the late spring


 I go to Nara on May 22nd. The flower garden is beautiful. See the Pure Land Art Exhibition at the Nara National Museum. Buddha statue, Pure Land Mandala and Raigou. Prof. Katsutoshi Ono (Professor ONO) was in charge of the practice of Kansai University Museology. I will listen to the story together and listen to the lecture in the auditorium. On the way home, at Hiyoshikan, I was relieved to see her in good spirits.
 On the morning of the 23rd, I will call Prof. Kawasaki. Please let Hiei accompany you. I asked him to the hotel, and when the car turned into a slope and entered a deep grove of trees, he said, ``You'll feel relieved when you come to this area.'' From the Hiei Driveway to the summit. The azalea flowers outside the window are beautiful.
 Climb to the observation deck at the summit. “Because you can see Kyoto three-dimensionally,” he says. And see the rhododendron garden. in the light of late spring.
 Head to Yokokawa. See Sho Kannon at Yokogawa Chudo. The teacher said to Dogen's statue, "Rather, you have a child's face." Walk through the tranquil grove and see the garden of Eshin-in Temple. It is said that this place is “because it retains the remnants of the Heian period,” and he tells us about the rockwork and the undulations that remind us of the valley. Reaching the Shiki Kodo Hall. The story of Ryogen and Genshin.
 From Yokokawa, take the Okuhiei Driveway down to Lake Biwa. Calm lake surface and green countryside. I no longer need the umbrella I prepared in the morning.
 Arrive in Sakamoto and enjoy a feast at a traditional soba restaurant. Eizan, where Sensei visited for the first time. The Complete Works of Dengyo Daishi.
 After thanking the teacher for the day, we went to Hiyoshi Taisha. Afterwards, go down a gentle slope to Eizan Station and return to Kyoto on the Kosei Line, which has just entered. The hustle and bustle reminded me of summer.
