Este suelo vivo, es mi altar
Y mi sacramento, agua manantial
Que lleva mi rezo, de siglos en siglos
Que este bosque sea, mi catedralAquí no encuentre muerte, ni ilusión
Solo resuena vida eternal
Mi reina Madre Tierra, siempre lo cuida
Este bosque sea, mi catedral#shinrinyoku #forestbathing #higashiyama #kyoto #japan #forest #nature #naturephotography #trees #hiking #pachamama

🌻FLOWER TEAHOUSE🍵
Flower Teahouse sits on Ninenzaka (二年坂), part of a hill that climbs from Kōdai-ji (高台寺) to Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺), one of Kyōto's most popular temples.
The landscape is carefully preserved, filled with Taishō period buildings.

🐭THE MICE SHRINE🐁
At the western foot of Tsubakigamine (椿ヶ峰 'Camellia Hill'), beside the 'Path of Philosophy' (哲学の道 'Tetsugaku-no-michi'), stands Ōtoyo-jinja (大豊神社).
It's more familiarly known as the 'Mice Shrine' (鼠の社 'Nezumi-no-sha').

Yasaka-no-tō is the oldest pagoda within the city proper. Although Hōkan-ji burnt in the Ōnin War, the pagoda survived.
Due to its commanding position, warlords had regularly used the pagoda to advertise their authority and dominion. It was also used as a giant billboard😂
In 1618 the Kyōto Shoshidai (京都所司代 'chief magistrate') Itakura Katsushige (板倉勝重) finally banned its use in this way.

🫸THE LEANING TOWER OF KYŌTO🫷
Looming over the rooftops behind our Flower Teahouse is one of Kyōto's most iconic symbols...the 46m tall Yasaka-no-tō (八坂の塔).
The pagoda, last rebuilt in 1440, is all that remains of Hōkan-ji (法観寺), considered by some to be the city's oldest temple.
Some theorize that the Yasaka clan, an immigrant family from the mainland known for their horse breeding, founded Hōkan-ji as a worship site in 588.

From the millions of soil samples collected over two and half decades, Kurita-san made a dedication of 729 portions (in the actual sange ritual only 25 flowers are used).
When finished, the soil was symbolically gathered up and scattered on the Byakusadan as a universal prayer.

👣🗾SCATTERING EARTH🤏⛰️
For 25 years Kurita Kōichi (栗田宏一) has walked the length and breadth of Japan, gathering small samples of soil from each settlement (whether hamlet, village, town or city) he passes through.
At Hōnen-in (法然院) he made a dedication of his life's work.

Rather than simply mimicking the old festival tradition (20 giant lanterns parading with the shrine gods), Kyōto University of the Arts struck upon the idea of creating a separate event (Awata Daitōrō 粟田大燈呂) with a procession of floats based on myths, legends and manga.

For Hanatōro around 2400 lanterns would stretch from Shōren-in (青蓮院) to Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺), via Maruyama Park (円山公園-where there are displays of ikebana 生け花), Kōdai-ji (高台寺), Ninnenzaka (二年坂) and Sannenzaka (三年坂).

Reikan-ji (霊鑑寺) is named after a sacred mirror enshrined in its main hall. The mirror was a relic of Nyoi-ji (如意寺/如意輪寺), a wealthy temple complex that originally stood on the site and spread all the way across the mountain (Nyoigadake 如意ヶ嶽, aka Daimonji-yama 大文字).

Eventually it was discovered that the carpenter, his health failing and worries about his son's work growing, had placed a statue of Kōshin in the central pillar. He asked the god to protect the construction project, but before his death failed to tell anyone what he had done.
Left unworshiped and forgotten the god no longer corrected the sloppy work of the carpenter's son and without the protective magic the structure drastically began to lean.
-
A more romantic origin story describes how Prince Shōtoku (聖徳太子 d.622) came to the Kyōto Basin to find lumber for the construction of Shitennō-ji (四天王寺).
In thanks for the wood felled he enshrined 3 grains of Buddha's ashes in a stupa, that later grew to become Hōkan-ji.Hōkan-ji's importance should not be underestimated, for many consider the temple to be the beginning of Buddhist culture in Kyōto (long before the city existed).

Yasaka Kōshin-dō, founded in 887, is centre for the Kōshin faith.
Originally a folk religion, practitioners of Kōshin-shinkō (庚申信仰) believe that for a wish to come true it is necessary to sacrifice 1 desire. Desires are thus symbolically bound up as a Kukurizaru.
The 3 Wise Monkeys (三猿) are symbols of the Kōshin faith🙈🙉🙊
'See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil': Mizaru (見ざる), Kikazaru (聞かざる) and Iwazaru (言わざる). -
