The grove of Tokei-ji


The grove of Tokei-ji has already been filled with the ash-gray calmness of winter.

The residue of autumnal colors will completely disappear soon after freezing north winds sway the branches of the trees.

All living things begin to enter winter sleep and the cold stillness settles over this grove.

The small stone pagoda is standing still in solitude like a monk who is deep in meditation.
