In this beautiful atmospheric winter landscape, heavy snowfall covers the Ukimido at Katada in a white mantle. A single flicker of light reflects from the balcony, arduously trying to bestow warmth to the scene.
Ukimido is a temple hall floating on Lake Biwa and belonging to Mangetsu-ji Buddhist temple in the Katata district of Otsu city, Shiga prefecture. Affiliated to the Zen Rinzai branch, the location provides a truly peaceful view to admire one of the eight views of Omi from its pier.
