Iwadera under the trees

Blue hydrangeas at the base of a stone marker

Hydrangeas bloom in a half wild setting

A simple bamboo rail fence separates the garden from the road

Pale blue perfection

A Kanon statue stands at the edge of the garden

The moss is thick under the trees

Small table and chairs made of pottery

You can rest on this bench in a corner of the garden

The garden has a number of large rocks scattered around

A small Inari shrine

I can appreciate temples with manicured gardens where every fallen leaf is quickly swept away, but in my heart I like half wild gardens best. When I went to see hydrangeas blooming at Iwa Temple on the edge of Yamashina in Kyoto, I was delighted by the lush green growth of trees, grass and wildflowers. Green moss spread under the trees, and hydrangeas splashed the peaceful scene with shades of blue.
