Rozanji

Yesterday I went to Rozanji with my friend Miho. She had received free tickets somehow. I forgot the memory card for my camera. Rozanji was the residence of Murasaki Shikibu who wrote The Tale of Genji. The building itself surprised me by how small it was. You think about Murasaki Shikibu being so grand but it is a very confined complex. Of course, it is directly next to Kyoto Gosho so it would have been part of a larger network of buildings. There is a nice little garden with moss and gravel. I recommend stopping by if you have time. It is on Terramachi just north of Marutamachi.
