Kikou-ji Temple

Kikou-ji Temple

By Tadamasa Takuda

 I had a chance to sketch the Kikou-ji Temple by accident. I was looking for a place to sketch that had a good sense of Nara. I walked around for a while, but I couldn't find the place to sketch. So, I went back to where I was at first, and saw this wonderful temple and I decided to sketch it, it was the Kikou-ji Temple. Fortunately there is a park at the Nandaimon, and I was able to sketch the temple peacefully from there. After I visited several times, I was impressed with this dark brown temple which had a red tint from the sun around 4 o'clock.
