Meigetsuin ~明月院~
first frost
somebody puts a knitted cap
on a Jizo statue
初霜やお地蔵さまに毛糸帽
In a sunny day, I went to Meigetsuin, a temple at Kita-Kamakura.
Its inner garden opens only in spring (a season of iris) and autumn (colored leaves).
The temple's symbol is rabbits. At the front entrance a rabbit welcomes us.
Inside the temple leaves of maple tree were beautifully colored.
After walking the garden of the temple, I went to Ishikawa coffee.
The shop' uses an old Japanese house.
The silent and peaceful atmosphere and hot relaxing coffee will entertain guests.
