クロマツのお手入れ

芝生と苔の境目付近にあるクロマツの葉むしりを行いました。細枝から伸びた松葉は、指先の感覚を頼りに丁寧に取り除いていきます。樹冠部分から葉むしりを始めた矢先、松葉の香りが周囲を包み込んでいきました。手を入れた箇所は透かした感じとなっています。

Tending to the Black Pines
We tended to the black pine between Murin-an’s grass lawn and mossy area. Our gardener relies on the sensation in his fingertips to carefully remove the pine needles growing out from slender branches. Once he began plucking needles off the pine tree’s crown, the area was suddenly wrapped up in the scent of pine needles. The areas he worked on now convey a feeling of transparency.
