Description
Near Omuro — "Omuro fukin" — the landscape around the Ninnaji temple complex in western Kyoto, famous for its late-blooming Omuro cherry trees, provides a setting of refined imperial garden culture. The Omuro cherries, which bloomed weeks after Kyoto's other famous cherries, gave the area a unique position in the city's seasonal calendar. Shotei renders the vicinity with the same quiet attentiveness he brought to all his Kyoto subjects, finding in its ancient temple grounds and garden spaces the composed beauty of cultivated nature.
