it has been a bit cold and raining. Very wet. Of course I decided to travel to north from central Kyoto. There is a small zen temple called “Shisendo” and this place is famous for its garden. There are 2 rooms you can sit or meditate facing well-maintained and cared garden. I sat there for about 30 minutes just to enjoy the garden, hear birds, feel the breeze. Just to be.
I am just proud to be Japanese especially today.
Have you eaten? 
I love this garden, I have enjoyed sitting with my bare feet on those wooden boards myself.
