A Japanese garden scene

日本足利美術舘

Adachi Museum of Art, Japan*

Great Gardens and Yokoyama Taikan Collection 

日本庭園 + 橫山大觀展覽

*The first question visitors to the Adachi Museum of Art ask, indeed the one they most often ask, is why there are so many works by Yokoyama Taikan. Visitors also seem puzzled by the Japanese-style garden, as though it is a mystery for such a magnificent garden to be located here in such a rural setting…..Adachi Museum of Art

雪月

Moon and Snow

中夜忽醒，捲起窗紙往外一瞧，好個童話世界映上眼簾。月光灑下一地銀粉，短籬外小徑無人蹤也無獸影。淡青的草坪接著墨綠樹林，連樹林後的遠近高低山頭都層次分明，看得一清二楚。

夜寒霜重不能外出賞今季第一個滿月，正巧收到朋友雲端寄來一輪滿到快溢出手機外的明月，瞌眼之下，我的童話世界裡多了個銀色月亮！
