A quiet moss garden in Arashiyama

The rainy season shows the beautiful green garden with moss here.
Though it is a small temple, when you stand in the garden and view the moss, it soothes  your feeling.

Dating back to Court Noble time in 12th century, there was a beautiful dancer/singer, called Shirabyo-shi. equivalent to a current pop singer and dancer. Her name is Gio.

One day, she visited the most powerful man, the top of Sumurai. Taira Kiyomori.
She wanted him to see her dance . Her wish was realized and he saw her dance. and really liked/loved her

Then, she started to live with him in his palace.
