Koetsuji Temple, a spot for autumn leaves in Kyoto where [Rinpa’s aesthetic sense] stands out




Kyoto, which was worshiped by Ieyasu Tokugawa, is Hon'ami Koetsu, whose art village is Rakuhoku and Takagamine.

The site of the residence is "Koetsuji".

To briefly introduce Koetsu, he is a calligrapher and a multi-artist who also handles ceramics and lacquering.

It feels like Yuuzan Kaibara of "Oishinbo" and Rosanjin Kitaoji, who was the source of it.

As a calligrapher, he was called "Kanei's Sanpitsu".

Koetsu's tea bowl "Fujisan" is a national treasure.

Furthermore, the production ability is also high.

After all, it is amazing that Tawaraya Sotatsu and Ogata Korin were found and the "Rinpa" was founded.

It is great that he left an achievement that is not ashamed of the "art village".

I'm familiar with the story around here, "hyougemono", so it's fun to read it.

By the way, if you stay at the inn "Tawaraya" in Kyoto, you can see the works of Hon'ami Koetsu on the hanging scroll.

This is another amazing story.

By the way, the autumn leaves of "Koetsuji".

When I went there on November 25, 2017, it was in full bloom.

The best time to see Koetsuji Temple is in late November.

The maple of the path is especially beautiful.

The fall foliage is also beautiful.

The stone pavements lined up in this rhombus are the same as Genko-an.

Is it the stone pavement of Koetsu Village?

When I go around 8 am, I see the burning autumn leaves in the morning sun.

By the way, the nice thing about Koetsuji Temple is that it has a parking lot.

500 yen per hour. In the meantime, you can go to "Genko-an", "Joshoji", and see art villages here and there.

If it exceeds 1 hour, you can pay the extension fee.

If you don't have a car, get off at the city bus "Genkoji-mae" and walk for 3 minutes.

When the morning sun hits directly, the autumn leaves shine like illuminations from the morning.

This is fine.

The bamboo fence is the same as the Kotoin Temple at Daitokuji Temple.

Is it the style of Sen no Rikyu's Wabi-Sabi temple?

A little wabi-sabi atmosphere has come out.

I wonder if it was fashionable at that time.

It feels different from the elegant atmosphere. The fun of walking along the path.

There are tea rooms here and there on the site. Is there such a tea room? It looks like a bungalow.

Then, "Koetsugaki" came out. This woven fence created by Koetsu.

From the perspective of modern people, it looks like a fence, so it's not unusual, but it was rare at that time.

And, if you look at the picture around here, there should be autumn leaves, but there isn't! Did it fall apart!

There are some autumn leaves. Was the tree in the foreground Kaede?

Maybe I should have come a little earlier to see here.

When it comes to that, the best time to see the autumn leaves at Koetsuji Temple is around November 20th.

There is a tea room, but I can't enter it. Those who are doing the tea ceremony will occasionally come in.

Well, I would like to have a cup of tea in a tea room like this.

There may be many shiba in the world of wabi-sabi and loneliness.

The autumn leaves that don't look gorgeous are also Otsu.

The precincts are no longer a small forest. I can only hear the rustling sound of gravel and the barking of mountain birds.

It feels good.

A mountain landscape in front of me. It is magnificent.

This is a real pleasure that cannot be experienced in the city of Kyoto.

Takagamine is on the left. I like the ridgeline that is like "Japanese old-fashioned story".

Bright red. Shibagaki is also good.

Autumn leaves, bamboo, moss, gravel, each color matches well.

The tomb of Hon'ami Koetsu stands quietly in the woods.

It's a simple grave like an artist.
