奈良猿澤の池
Sarusawa Pond, Nara
A five-story pagoda rises above the trees, and in front, a pond spreads out within gently curving banks.
About this photo
A pagoda with five stacked roofs stands at the upper left. A slender spire rises from its top, as if reaching for the sky. A pond spreads across the middle, and in the distance on the right, a row of rooftops and a wooded hill carry on. The bottom of the foreground is a dark bank, and in the left foreground are thin posts and what looks like a fence.
Sarusawa Pond was first made as the hojoike of Kofukuji Temple, a pond for setting living creatures free.
Near the middle of the pond's edge, a tiny figure stands by a tree. On the bright bank, it shows up like a small black dot.
