Title
Motsuji
,
pond
garden
,
Hiraizumi
,
view

.
Description
In
1117
,
Fujiwara
Motohira
was
granted
permission
to
construct
a
major
temple
,
Motsuji
, at
Hiraizumi
, in
Iwate
Prefecture
.
Motsuji
burned
in the
late
12th
century
and was not
rebuilt
,
although
the
foundation
stones
are
still
visible
and the
garden
pond
that was
built
in
front
of the
temple
is
still
there. The
pond
had been
silted
up
over
the
millennium
since
its
building
, but
it
has been
cleared
over
the
past
several
decades
and
restored
to a
very
close
approximation
of its
original
appearance
. The
garden
pond
is
fairly
large
,
measuring
nearly
200
yards
long
along
the
east-west
axis
, and
nearly
100
yards
wide
north
to
south
, in
front
of the
temple
,
which
was
south
facing
at the
northwestern
side
of the
pond
. This
image
shows
a
formation
of
craggy
rocks
that
jut
into the
pond
in its
southeastern
corner
, with the
vertical
rock
creating
a
strong
contrast
with the
pond
,
itself
.
