The flowers of Boke (Chaenomeles speciosa) in Engaku-ji



The crimson and pink flowers of Boke are blooming in a string like a gorgeous floral wreath of spring.

The vivid colors of living things are surely beginning to come to life again in the sunny gardens where the twitters of birds sound merrily.

Boke (Chaenomeles speciosa) flowers in Tokei-ji


Gentle and clear colors have returned to the gardens of Zen. The soft and cool sunlight of autumn brings us the gentleness of spirit which has been long forgotten.

Soon the trees will begin to take on autumnal reds and yellows and color these quiet gardens brightly before gloomy winter arrives.
