Earthen Wall by the Imperial Pathway
 
     Continuing to walk towards the building of Katsura this walkway sets the stage for the simple rustic beauty of the area.  There are no gaudy artificial colors or violently overpowering vistas.  In everything can be seen a refined and simple beauty that does not force itself on the viewer, but if properly appreciated, can be infinitely rewarding in its subtly.  Note how the unassuming earthen wall provieds the perfect backdrop for the shadows of the nearby trees and the interplay between the stone mosaic of the pathway with the smooth texture of the earthen wall.
