感想 Impression
奈良県大和小泉町にある禅宗寺院の慈光院を訪ねると、開放感溢れる書院とその眼前に広がる庭園を堪能することが出来ます。道路沿いから、両側を生垣に囲まれ た緩やかな勾配の石畳の露地を上っていくと丘の上の右手にある瓦葺の表門（一之門）に辿り着きます。門を潜り、折れ曲がった切通しの茂みの中、真っ直ぐ敷 かれた小石の舗道を3回折れ曲がって行くと、今度は茅葺き威風堂々の楼門（茨木門）に到ります。中に入ると、一転して明るく視界が開け、楼門から斜めに舗石道が走り、途中から三つに別れて、書院の南庭、書院南の広縁、そして書院の玄関へと導かれます。
慈光院の建築は書院と北側の本堂、茶室からなっている。書院の内部は間仕切りの襖を取り払われていて、心地良い開放感に包まれている。案内された書 院の奥に座り、床の間に南の庭を眺めると庇の軒先と広縁、スレンダーな独立柱が織り成すフレームで切り取られた美しい風景が楽しめます。庇の軒先が書院か ら見た時、絶妙の下がり方をしているためフレーム効果が一層高まり、庭を絵巻のように演出しています。平坦な白砂の庭には、丸い巨大なサツキ刈り込みが横 たわり、その脇を鋭く直角に曲がりこんで広縁に到る舗石道、後方には刈り込みが島をなし、その間の所々に松が聳えている。東側を見ると、角ばった刈り込み の垣根越しに遠く大和の山々を借景として見渡すことが出来、スケールの大きい眺望が楽しめるよう演出されています。この庭は周囲の雄大な眺めを引き立たせ る額縁のような機能を果たすため、簡素で明快に構成された意匠が最大の効果を発揮しているようです。
When calling on the Jiko-in Zen temple which is in the Nara Prefecture Yamatokoizumi city, it is possible to be content in the garden which spreads to the study and the immediateness at which feeling of opening is overflowed.It arrives at the front gate of the tile-roofing which is in the right hand in the hilltop when going up the open field of the stone pavement with the gentle inclination which was surrounded by the hedge in both sides with on the roadside.In the pavement stone road which was straight laid in the thicket in the opencut to have passed through the gate and to have been bent, this time, it leads to the tower gate ( the Ibaraki gate ) of the thatch commandingness when bending three times and going.It turns around when going in and the scenery spreads out brightly and the pavement stoue road to run diagonally from the tower gate is three boiling separately led to the south garden and the broad porch, the vestibule at the study from station on the way.
An architecture at the Jiko-in is composed of nave, teahouse at the study and in the north side.In the sliding door of the partition, it is removed and the inside of the study can wrap in the feeling of opening with pleasure up.It is possible to enjoy the beautiful scenery which was cut off with the frame which the eaves of the eaves, and the broad porch, the thin independent pillar interweave when sitting on the back at the guided study and looking at the garden in the south to the height in the alcove.The frame effect rises more because it is doing a way of exquisiteness’s falling when the eaves of the eaves sees from the study and it is enacting a garden like the picture scroll.The pruning of the circular huge azalea lies at the garden on the flat loamy soil, in the side, the pruning makes an island to the pavement stoue road, the back which bends, being sharp and being right-angled, doesn’t come and results in the broad porch and the pine towers over the places among it.When seeing an east side, it is enacted for the mountains in Yamato to be able to be surveyed as the shakkei, being far in the fence crossing boiling of stiff pruning and that it is possible to enjoy a view with big scale.As for this garden, the design which was simply and decidedly composed to achieve the feature having to do with an architrave to make stand out seems to be showing the biggest effect in the grand view around.
