The scenery in Higashiyama changes impressively according to each season, and has the power to amaze in numerous ways.

"Pagoda, Chion-in Temple" (Arashi Tamura, Grade 1, Shirakawa Elementary School) I passed under the Main Gate of Chion-in and climbed up some large stone steps. Then, I found an unusual-looking pagoda. |
"Main Gate, Chion-in Temple" (Iyo Matsuda, Grade 6, Shirakawa Elementary School) I drew a picture of the Main Gate, which is in our school district. It is known as the biggest Zen main gate in Japan. |

"Kennin-ji Temple" (Kotomi Ogawa, Grade 4, Shinmichi Elementary School) There is a children's hall and a park in the grounds of Kennin-ji Temple. I have many memories of visiting there. |
"Kennin-ji Temple" (Natsuki Ijiri, Grade 5, Shinmichi Elementary School) We struck the bell and had fun at the Jizobon festival in the summer. The twin dragons are always watching us. |

"Climbing Kiln, Fujihira Pottery" (Grade 3, Rokuhara Elementary School –The picture was drawn a year ago.) This kiln is very big and has been solid for over a hundred years. I think it is great. |
"Hackberry tree at the west side of Fujihira Pottery" (Haruto Hirano, Grade 3, Rokuhara Elementary School – The picture was drawn a year ago.) This tree makes me feel stronger because it has grown big through the concrete. I think this tree is powerful. |

"Ninenzaka" (Yusuke Imahashi, Grade 4, Kiyomizu Elementary School) This is a hill street, called Ninenzaka. This street is very lively because a lot of traditional pottery is sold here. |
"Ishibe Koji" (Hinata Yamada, Grade 5, Kiyomizu Elementary School) This is a small street, called Ishibe Koji. This street makes me feel that time has slipped back to the old Kyoto. |

"Chishaku-in Temple" (Kazuki Hara, Grade 6, Imakumano Elementary School) I drew the temple from a place where I could see it at its most beautiful. I put colors on the roof and the trees in many layers. I remember I did nature observation here when I was in Grade 3 at the back of the main hall. |
"Chishaku-in Temple" (Saki Imamura, Grade 6, Imakumano Elementary School) I came here to sketch the temple when I was in Grade 3. I think I drew the lines much better this time. I chose brighter colors than the actual ones. |
