Pink Peonies and White Wall -- A Painting?

お客さんと一緒に渡り廊下を渡っていた途中で、お客さんが「その花は絵みたい!」と。中庭のピンクの牡丹と城壁のコントラストは目が喜ばれる絵になっていました。
春は花の時期なので亀清旅館の玄関、中庭、所々の坪庭、露天風呂の庭、離れ風の客室の庭、それぞれの庭は絵になっています。冬の雪景色、夏の深い緑色、秋のもみじやイチョウの赤と黄色、それぞれの四季は魅力があるけど、春の新緑と花の亀清が一番良いかな?

While crossing the "watari-roka" passageway with a guest, the guest stopped and commented, "That flower is like a painting!" She was referring to the pink peonies contrasting with the white wall here in Kamesei Ryokan's naka-niwa garden. It did indeed look like a painting. A pleasure for the eyes.
The various gardens here at Kamesei, at the entrance, the naka-niwa central garden with its koi pond, the tsubo-niwa pocket gardens, the garden around our outdoor bath, as well as the private gardens for the detached rooms are all coming alive in color, all like individual paintings. This is perhaps Kamesei's most beautiful season.
