| Comment |
The Date family temple was reconstructed
in Sendai when Date Masamune moved to Sendai Castle from Iwadeyama.
In 1441, this temple was originally erected by Date Mochimune, eleventh
head of the Date clan, to pray for the repose of his grandmother
Ranteimyogyokuni. The main hall and three-storied pagoda in the
quiet garden are particularly memorable. The garden is a "chisen
kaiyu" (pond-spring-strolling) garden set against a backdrop
of red pines and cedars. Distinctive seasonal views feature shidare-zakura
(weeping cherry trees) in spring, irises in early summer, maple
trees in autumn, and snow in winter. |
