京都府京都市(Kyoto city , Kyoto , Japan)
金福寺(Konpuku-ji Temple)

実は、現地に行って、金福寺が、文人画の与謝蕪村ゆかりの場所だと知りました💦
蕪村の作品の複製品が飾られていたので、「居心地のいい金福寺で蕪村の絵と文字の模写していたら、気持ちよく模写できそうだ」と思えました。
金福寺は、日本人に馴染みのある、松尾芭蕉ゆかりの場所でもあります。

金福寺には、梅の木が一本ありますが、その一本の梅の木が、春を演出していました。
金福寺のお庭を眺めていて思ったのですが、金福寺には、古き良き日本の、精神と心が落ち着く静かで穏やかな時間が流れている環境が残っていると思いました。
居心地が良かったので、この日は１時間滞在しました

Spring opened softly around today. I wandered the Japanese Friendship Garden, moving through light, color, and the quiet grace of Cherry blossoms drifting in the breeze.

Weeping sakura drapes softly
over the quiet paths of Kyu-Furukawa Gardens.
A gentle flow of petals—
time seems to slow beneath its branches.

An overhead, high-angle view of a Japanese rock garden (karesansui). A curved island of vibrant green moss and a weathered, lichen-covered boulder sits in the center-right, accented by a small, leafy green tree. The surrounding light-gray gravel is meticulously raked into a pattern of straight, diagonal lines that transition into concentric curves following the shape of the mossy island.

Spring begins quietly at Kairakuen.

Before the sakura,
the plum blossoms bloom softly across the garden.

Pink, white, and a gentle fragrance in the air—
a calm moment of early spring in Japan.

Colorful garden with a bright red tree beside a pond, surrounded by green shrubs and autumn foliage in a peaceful park setting.

Where colors settle into silence,
autumn paints its quiet masterpiece.

Just a thought... I’m modeling different types of traditional lanterns like "Oribe Toro"
Since I have access to many local references here in Japan, I want to make them as authentic as possible for those who value historical accuracy.
