秘密花园

WRITTEN BY KYOKO SEKINE

A special dynasty

In the early Edo period, Kyoto’s Takagamine area was the site of Hon'ami Koetsu, a Japanese craftsman and calligrapher. Throughout his lifetime (1558 – 1637) Koetsu’s work established the area as a major base for arts and culture, leading to the creation of an Art Village in Takagamine in 1615. Today, it is the site of Aman Kyoto’s secret gardens, which trace the area’s dynasty and connect guests to nature and the spirit of the historic site. At 32 hectares in size, in the summer it flourishes with Japanese maples, Kitayama cedars and a plethora of blooms, from azaleas and peonies to hydrangeas and irises, waiting to be discovered.

与精神世界相接

传统日式园林的精髓或是专注于永生的道教,或是以升天重生为主题的佛教。花园被设计成一种连接人与精神世界的媒介,因此通常与宗教关联。安缦京都花园出自著名的景观设计师下田彰宏教授之手,以传统日式园林连接精神世界的方式连接人与自然。

茂密枫林中,树冠如云飘渺浮动

花园设计不仅融入自然,也创造一处赏心悦目的精致空间。枫树林精巧布置,树冠如云飘渺浮动,上下绿荫衬托辉映。枫树林之上是本土常青树,如用餐阁上方的日本雪松和主长廊两侧的香樟树。枫树林之下是长青灌木丛,有日本马醉木、日本茶花、日本蓝栎,覆盖着一层发着绿光的长青苔藓。

四季花园

安缦花园宛如万花筒般随四季变幻。冬季的山茶花映衬着花园里四季常青的日本雪松、马醉木和郁郁葱葱的木蕨,蔚为壮观,二月梅花绽放,预示着春天的到来。三月和四月看著名的樱花盛景,夏季繁花似锦,杜鹃、牡丹、绣球和鸢尾花争奇斗艳。秋季,花园里的日本枫树艳红似火,美丽的红色和橙色树叶与五颜六色的菊花争相夺目。花园里还栽种着一些本地稀有物种,包括日本细辛,或名“野生姜”。
