Walking through Ginkaku-ji✨️

Walking through Ginkaku-ji, you can almost feel the spirit of Ashikaga Yoshimasa. He didn't seek the golden brilliance of his grandfather’s temple; instead, he chased the quiet, moss-covered shadows of Saiho-ji (the Moss Temple).

Just as the sand gardens of Ginshadan were designed to reflect the moonlight, a bowl of Matcha reflects the state of one’s mind.

A bridge across centuries, connecting the Muromachi aesthetics to our present moment.
In the heart of Kyoto, I’ve found that "less" truly is "more."

Taking a moment to appreciate the beauty in the imperfect and the ephemeral. 🍵
