シイの木剪定を行いました。/ Pruning the chinquapin trees

お庭から比叡山が望める視点場から、風景に溶け込むシイの木の剪定を行いました。来園の皆さまも作業風景を、足を止めて眺めておられました。時折ご質問で「茶室東側の苔上で見つかる黒色の実」は、この大樹のドングリでございます。

We pruned the chinquapin trees so that they would blend into the scenery seen from the viewpoint looking out at Mt. Hiei from the garden. Visitors stopped to watch the gardening being performed. The black nuts found atop the moss on the east side of the tea room, which we sometimes receive questions about, are acorns from a large tree.
