　　京都　勧修寺　氷室の池　（平安時代作庭）

Kajuji Temple (勧修寺) , founded in 900AD,by Emperor Daigo ,has over one thousand years of history. The garden ,known as the "Kaju-ji Hyochi-en"(勧修寺氷池園),has a pond called "Himuro-no-ike(氷室の池)".
The mountains beyond the garden are used as a part of the garden design, giving it a three-dimensional beauty.
 In the ancient Heian period( 794-1185),  every January 2,the ice which covered the pond of the garden was presented to the imperial court, and the situation of the grain harvest in the coming year was divined by the thickness of the ice. It is therefore one of the most prominent ancient ponds in Kyoto.
