薬師寺東塔 -The east tower of Yakushiji temple-

薬師寺「東塔」

毎年旧暦の新年ごろ、春日大社に参拝したあと、薬師寺で写経をしています。大雪が降った時、誰もいない伽藍に積もった雪に踏み跡をつけてしまわぬよう注意しながら撮影しました。

Yakushiji temple -The east tower-

Every year around the New Year of the lunar calendar, it is customary to visit Kasuga Taisha Shrine and then copy sutras at Yakushiji Temple. When there was a heavy snowfall, I took this photo while being careful not to leave any footprints in the snow that had piled up on the empty temple.
