I drove on the Okuyama Driveway in May. After I passed the Shousho-in, I reached the Driveway. After a while of driving, l looked back and could see the Toudai-ji and the Koufuku-ji five-storied pagoda far from the verdurous trees. It is a superb view and can only be seen in Nara. While I was painting this scenery, I could feel the fresh green air.
