Phoenix Hall
やはり日本の伝統建築を目で見て学ぶのは京都が一番です。東京が都になる前の首都でありましたし、太平洋戦争での被害を免れているからです。南欧で得たアイディアやインスピレーションのように、ここでも必ず何かが得られると思っています。日本の伝統建築の本質を身につけたいと思っています。帰国した理由の一つでもあります。
It's obvious that Kyoto is the best place to see and learn Japanese traditional architecture. it's because Kyoto had been the capital of Japan before Tokyo, and the most of buildings were not damaged by the Pacific War. I believe I could obtain something like ideas and inspirations I had in the Meditarraneans. I'm passionate to learn the essense of the Japanese traditional architecture. This is one of the reason I came home.
宇治の平等院鳳凰堂の見学に向かう前にこの近くに現存する日本最古の神社があるということでしたので、その神社を訪ねることにしました。宇治上神社です。写真は寝殿造りの拝殿ですが、鎌倉時代に建てられたそうで、その奥にある本殿が平安時代末期に建てられた現存する最古の神社だそうです。
Before I visited Byodo-in Hououdom, I stood by Ujigami Shrine, the oldest shrine in Japan. We call the building on the photo as Haiden built during the Kamakura periodm, 1185-1133, and Honden, the main building behind the Haiden was built the last Heian Period around 1100.
拝殿のおそらく檜皮葺（ひわだぶき）屋根。檜の皮を重ねて施工する屋根工法で、日本独自の工法でもあります。苔などが生えているのもまた味がありますが、葺きたての屋根も本当に綺麗です。
The roof of the Haiden was made of skins of Japanese cypress. This method of roof construction is called Hiwadabuki and original of Japan, putting a cypress skin over another. I like this old, green and natural flavor, but new roof of the sypress skin is so beautiful.
平等院へ向かいしました。来たのは小学校以来。その時は何も感じなかったのか、記憶にほとんどありませんでした。感性の乏しい子供やったいうことですね。鳳凰堂の周辺には浄土式庭園が広がっています。
I was heading to Byodo-in. I haven't visited here since I was in elementary school. At that time I felt nothing, and no memory about this temple. That means I had little artistic sensibility. You can see Jodo-shiki garden, which the ancient landscape architect tried to re-create buddism heaven on earth. The temples are surrounded by beautiful pond.
平等院鳳凰堂です。左右対称の建築物で、阿弥陀如来像を安置する阿弥陀堂として1053年に建てられました。屋根の上には一対の鳳凰像があり、鳳凰堂自体も羽を広げた鳳凰を連想させます。
This is the Poenix Hall, symmetric architecture constructed in 1053 as the Amitabha Hall to eushrine a statue of Amitabha Tathagata. There is a pair of Poenix statues at the top of the roof, and the whole temple shape is like the phoenix with its wings extended.
平等院内にある鳳翔館という博物館脇の日本庭園です。ここでひと休みしてから、宇治と言えばお茶ですので、飲んで帰りました。
The Japanese garden beside the museum in Byodo-in. I took a rest there, then had a cup of green tea which is the speciality of Uji.
