「Three Temples in Spring 」
In the morning we donned our pilgrim jackets and with walking sticks in hand, we moved toward Kokubunji. The temple was framed like a painting by the bamboo grove behind it. In front of the temple's main hall, we bowed our heads. When we looked up, the light gray clouds of the morning had disappeared completely. Before we left Kokubunji and headed for the mountains of Goshikidai, we were greeted by a small group of people from the area who gave us tea and snacks before our journey.
