Ryuanji in Minoo Park styles itself the oldest temple in Japan dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess of knowledge, beauty and the arts. Benzaiten is associated with water, and her temples are often located near a pond, lake or the sea.
A real wonderful, silent little gem with some Japanese macaques :)
You see barely any tourists there! -

Patron of artists, writers, dancers, geisha and performers, Benzaiten is commonly depicted as an intelligent and beautiful woman holding a lute (琵琶 'biwa'). She is sometimes accompanied by a white snake.

A large 24x36” unfinished painting I love and dislike parts of and don’t know how to fix. considering painting completely over it. Going to play with it digitally and see if I can find a solution. Inspired by #Uzbekistan and #Ikat / Abr fabric and Buddhist #Benzaiten / Hindu #Saraswati and the Silk Road that these traditions, beliefs & cultural exchanges travelled by.
I like the idea of it, but the composition isn’t working for me. -
