          Balcony of the main hall of Kiyomizu Temple seen from Okuno-in, facing west-northwest. Among the sightseers there are women with parasols. It is probably the beginning of summer because the trees are lush with leaves. The terrace was renovated in 1633. The building is in the yosemune style, and the roof is made entirely of hinoki tree bark. Wings flank the west side and the east and west of the south side. Jinushi Shinto Shrine is partially visible behind the main hall. The wooden fencing inside the railing was apparently installed to prevent people from falling.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:A.
