Possibly because the name 'shikimi' was close to 'shikibu', or maybe because the bright purple flowers recalled the vivid colours of the kimono worn in 'The Tale of Genji', but over time the plant was renamed in honour of Murasaki Shikibu (紫式部 ?973-1014?).

In Japan the custom of picnicking on hills and mountains caught on, people carrying small bags of Japanese pepper to remember the story of Heng Jing.

🌩️BEWARE THE BELLY BUTTON THIEF!😳

Late summer in Kyoto is often stormy.

Children in Japan are warned to hide their belly buttons when they hear storms approaching, to prevent the god of thunder (雷神 'Kaminari-sama' 'Raijin') from stealing and eating them!

In China peaches were symbols of longevity, and peach wood was used as a charm against evil.

The ancient chronicles 'Kojiki' (古事記) and 'Nihon Shoki' (日本書紀) both recount a tale in which a peach was used to exorcise a demon.

Japan's ruling coalition has adopted a plan to extend the Hokuriku Shinkansen from the city of Tsuruga, Fukui Prefecture, to Osaka through Kyoto on a route that takes it near — but not directly to — Kyoto Station. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/07/15/japan/society/hokuriku-shinkansen-katsuragawa/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #rail #hokurikushinkansen #osaka #shinkansen #bullettrains #kyoto #tokyo #nagano #kanazawa

#Japan wants 60 million #tourists,🤔 but #China isn’t sending them
"70% of all overnight stays by foreign visitors cluster in just five prefectures: Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hokkaido & Okinawa. #Kyoto alone accounted for almost 63 million domestic & international visitors last year, leaving its historic streets & temples groaning under the strain. The result has been a kind of #tourism #monoculture"🤦‍♂️🇯🇵
