Camellia Tea Ceremony

Camellia flowers are used to decorate a water pot...arranged in a heart shape.

Looking down from Nison-in's cemetery to Sagano below.

Yellow and red maple leaves under a brooding cloudy sky.

Nison-in is a popular site for viewing the autumn colours in Kyoto. The grounds are filled with maple trees.

Unable to refuse an imperial request, but not wanting to 'demote' either of the images, Ennin decided to enshrine both statues of as principal objects of worship.

The name Kedai-ji was dropped in favour of the more fitting Nison-in (二尊院), 'Temple of the 2 Revered Images'.

Autumn leaves hang before the main hall at Nison-in.

In 834 Ennin (円仁), head of Enryaku-ji (延暦寺), was constructing a new temple in Sagano (嵯峨野) dedicated to Amida.
Before work was completed on Kedai-ji (華台寺), Emperor Saga (嵯峨天皇 786-842) asked if Ennin would also enshrine an image of Buddha he had commissioned.

Autumn at Adashino Nenbutsu-ji.

Chestnuts still in their burrs.

Springtime at Adashino Nenbutsu-ji.

Right up until the Edo period small Buddhist statues were erected in Adashino (化野) to act as both grave markers and as silent guardians to watch over the dead.

By the 20thC many of these statues were forgotten, half-buried, or lost in wild undergrowth.

'Toku-bako' (投句箱) a small box at Rakushisha for posting your poems.

One of the loveliest features of the hut is a small box, 'tōku-bako' (投句箱), for posting your poems...keeping the original purpose of the thatched cottage alive.

Arashiyama bamboo grove, the most famous (and crowded) of Kyoto's bamboo 'forests'.

🎋BRILLIANT BAMBOO🎍

The bamboo groves of Sagano (嵯峨野竹林の道) may be world famous, but there are many -equally gorgeous but far quieter- places to see bamboo forests in and around Kyōto.

Mukō (向日市), a short train ride from the city, has a whole park dedicated to bamboo!

The rain goes by many names at this time of year...

🌧️Saikau (催花雨) = spring rain that hastens the blooming of flowers
🌧️Kokū (穀雨 April 20ish) = "grain rain"
🌧️Zuiu (瑞雨) = rain that helps grain crops sprout
🌧️Kanu (甘雨) = rain that falls at the right time to moisten plants

Spring at Osawa Pond.

Visitors pose for photos beneath the blossoming cherry trees that line Osawa Pond.

Boughs of cherry blossoms reach over the small stream that pours before the front of Daikaku-ji.

Fresh green leaves signal a coming end to the fleeting sakura season.

During Emperor Saga's time a terrible epidemic struck. Kūkai (空海) advised him to copy out the Heart Sutra, and sure enough the plague was ended. The original is displayed every 60 years (next in 2078).

In 876 Saga's daughter, Princess Masako, turned the palace into Daikaku-ji.
