Koto-in, learning in perspectives

As you can see from the picture above, or obviously from the title, it is about perspectives. Above is the corridor laid after entering the gate, directly facing the garden. A nice spot to hang around for a bit.

Transitional bright and darkness, and the space where it happened seemed to be set in motion when this phenomenon happens. Interesting one.
Small and tall space, leading to a tea room, basically the end of the course on traditional houses, the private space of the owner. And still, facing the garden, as it is the main view toward the nature and maintained that way in almost every traditional house.
Oops, I forgot the tokonoma. Aside from the garden, tokonoma is also one thing that the owner, and the guests should too, appreciate the beauty of this space. Usually it is "decorated" with paintings, some ikebana (flower arrangements), and some precious items according to the season or traditional days, such as Kodomo no Hi (Day of Children).
Well, still more to go on Koto-in. See you then.
