Notes:  The Japanese calligraphy poem (waka) is translated as:

Spring wears a cloak of mist.
A thin fabric, for the mountain breeze
Would, doubtless, disarray it.

by Ariwara no Yukihira (ca. 890 AD)

Written about a century before the original Byodo-in was constructed.

The water color is of a tree on the property  represented in the infrared.
