In Terakoya Hoheto, Toyosaki, Osaka, I challenged myself to make wasanbon sweets. I mixed flavors like raspberry and matcha into the wasanbon, chose my favorite wooden molds, filled them, and then tapped them out of the molds. After successfully removing some beautifully from the molds while others broke, I enjoyed some wasanbon while sipping matcha, feeling cozy. I was able to spend a wonderful time in a charming room of a registered tangible cultural property, a traditional row house.

Autumn dyed in misty rain. Fog envelops the mountains, and the leaves are vibrantly colored. The softly falling rain adds depth to the autumn scenery. A look that can only be seen on rainy days, not on sunny ones. Capturing a moment of the changing seasons.

Nanzenji Temple Fukuchicho, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City Nanzenji Temple was established over 730 years ago in the 4th year of the Shōō era (1291) when Emperor Kameyama welcomed Mukan Fumon Zenji (Great Ming National Teacher) as its founding priest. There is a paid observation area where visitors can go upstairs and experience the temple's impressive scale. The Suirokaku (Waterway Pavilion) is a popular walking route within the temple grounds and is an easily accessible spot. Visitors can generally walk freely around the grounds. The pond garden, designed in the late Kamakura period, became the birthplace of Nanzenji Temple when Emperor Kameyama donated a villa to the temple. The garden features stone arrangements such as the pond (Sogen Pond), Tsurushima (Crane Island), and Kamejima (Turtle Island), allowing visitors to enjoy a serene landscape surrounded by autumn foliage, fresh greenery, and dense forests. It is designated as a national historic site and scenic spot... Behind the main hall, there is a dry landscape garden (such as Narutaki Garden) with white sand, moss, and stone arrangements, where visitors can enjoy the beautiful autumn leaves as a backdrop.
