Today's featured design is Heian Shrine, We just got the tenugui towels with this pattern!
Kyoto, encircled by mountains has a single river running through it.
The mountains appear soft and majestic, the river keeping the earth gently moist.
People must have thought that that is why this city is the capital, because of its beauty, surrounded by nature's elegance.
Even now I enjoy looking at Heian shrines that have that atmosphere in common with many other shrines and temples.
まわりをぐるりと山に囲まれて、その中を一本の川が流れている。
山はふんわりとして雅で、川はゆるやかに大地をうるおしていっている。
この優雅な自然に抱かれた佇まいの美しい、こここそ都であるという想いを持ったと思う。
今も多くの神社仏閣と共に情緒ある平安京の姿を楽しむことができる。
