Daikaku-Ji.

Located far from the center of Kyoto - It takes more than an hour by bus and a change of line to get there - the daikoku Ji is rarely visited. Yet it is beautiful especially when the sun tilts towards the hills of the sunset and the light adorns its trees and roofs with gold. Here one feels far from everything. Far? Perhaps not simply at the very heart of our magnified image of Japan nourished by all our readings and all the films seen.
We have long remained in silence contemplating all this beauty: pines, willows, the sand of the garden, the dark majestic temples... Until the sound of a bell came to vibrate in silence: She called the monks to prayer and meant that for us it was time to return to Kyoto...

Situé loin du centre de Kyoto - Il faut plus d’une heure en autobus et un changement de ligne pour y parvenir - le Daikoku -Ji est peu visité. Pourtant il est magnifique surtout lorsque le soleil s’incline vers les collines du couchant et que la lumière pare d’or ses arbres et ses toits. Ici l’on se sent loin de tout. Loin ? Non peut-être tout simplement au cœur même de notre image magnifiée du Japon nourrie par toutes nos lectures et tous les films vus.
Nous sommes restés longtemps dans le silence à contempler toute cette beauté : Les pins, les saules, le sable du jardin, les sombres temples majestueux... Jusqu’à ce que le son d’une cloche vienne vibrer dans le silence : Elle appelait les moines à la prière et que pour nous il était l’heure de rentrer à Kyoto…
