    コロナが落ち着いていた12月半ばに伺いました。 人気もなく、ゆっくりじっくり拝観出来ました。 何といっても、若冲の襖絵が圧巻。ちょうどベンチが置いてあるので、そこに座って暫く眺めていました。至福の時でした。 少し前に、若冲の展覧会があった様ですが、またその様な催しがあれば、東京から駆け付けます。

    北村美術館に隣接する四君子苑（しくんしえん）がおすすめです。年2回特別公開され、ここは元梶井宮本坊という延暦寺の門跡寺院だったそうです。

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo.
