Statue of Toyotomi Hideyoshi at Toyokuni-jinja.

The main hall of Kodai-ji.

'Shigure-tei' (時雨亭 'Pavilion of the Late Autumn Rain'), one of Kodai-ji's teahouses.

Stupa at the grave of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Appearing like dew,
vanishing like dew-
such is my life.
Even Naniwa's splendour
is a dream within a dream.
露と落ち露と消えにし我が身かな浪速のことも夢のまた夢
-Death poem of Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣秀吉 1537-1598).

Nao-san had time to enjoy the gardens at Kōdai-ji before being transformed into a kitsune...

Nao-san dressed as a bride, waiting for her 'fox wedding'.

Nao-san flanked by attendants as she waits to depart for her wedding procession (behind her is a large painting of Buddha's death).

As you may have already guessed...Nao-chan was one of the ten kitsune brides!😮🦊🤗

After 20 years the event came to a close a few years ago, so she was also one of the last fox wives.

京都(Kyoto,Japan) - 高台寺(Kodai-ji Temple)

17時50分〜18時に撮影しました。
高台寺には、昼と夕方（夜間特別拝観）と、２回見に行きました。
同じ場所の桜でも、時間帯が変わると違う美しさあリます。
（高台寺のライトアップは、私の帰宅時間の都合で見ませんでした）

京都(Kyoto,Japan) - 高台寺(Kodai-ji Temple)

13時ごろに撮影しました。
高台寺のお庭は、お庭の構成と建造物の意匠が枝垂れ桜と調和が取れていて大変美しかったです。
高台寺の満開の枝垂れ桜の景観は、ここでしか見れない唯一無二の景観なので、一生に一度は見ておきたいお庭です。
