#ninnaji — Public Fediverse posts

Ninna-ji's 36.18m tall pagoda soars above the precincts, making it a backdrop no matter where you are in the grounds.
It was completed with large-scale renovations to the temple in 1624.

It is thought that Omuro-zakura (御室桜) originated in Heian times.
The current cherry trees were planted in the early Edo period (江戸時代), shortly after Tokugawa Iemitsu (徳川家光 1604-51) helped rebuild the temple.

As the night wears on the party becomes outrageously inebriated.
Drunkenly the acolyte takes up a three-legged iron pot, places it on his head and performs a dance. When he later tries to remove it, he discovers the pot is quite stuck😓

For a very brief moment each year Kyūtei Omuro (旧邸御室), an old villa close to Ninna-ji, is open to the public.

It is famed for a table!🤔🪞🌿

Reaching their peak (typically) around mid-April, the temple's groves of cherry trees are the last to bloom within the city.
Known as 'Omuro-zakura' (御室桜), Ninna-ji's trees are uniquely stunted, growing to only around 2m tall. They are a variant of 'sato-zakura' (郷さくら).

🌸KYŌTO'S LAST CHERRY BLOSSOMS🌸

drowsy spring
begins with
Omuro’s flowers
ねぶたさの春は御室の花よりぞ
-Yosa Buson (与謝蕪村 1716-84).

Ninna-ji's (仁和寺) grove of cherry trees are some of the last to bloom in the city, bringing sakura season to a dramatic close.

💚🌸💚NOT ALL PINK💛🌸💛

At this pinkest time of year, let us not forget our green brethren...💚🌸💚

Cherry blossoms are known for their delicate white and pink petals, but there are a handful of sakura trees that show off surprisingly different colours.

Ninna-ji (仁和寺) and Hirano-jinja (平野神社) are good places to catch these unusual varieties of sakura.

Ninna-ji (仁和寺) has a unique type of omikuji, with the sacred lots concealed in clay blossoms (available all year).

Reaching their peak around April 20th, the temple's sakura are the last to bloom in Kyōto. Known as Omuro-zakura (御室桜), the trees are uniquely stunted.

Let's start at the road's southern end.

Ninna-ji (仁和寺) was founded in 888 by Emperor Uda (宇多天皇), and for most of its life head priests were drawn from the imperial family.
The temple is famed for its groves of uniquely stunted 'omuro-zakura' (御室桜) cherry trees.

For a very brief moment each year Kyūtei Omuro (旧邸御室), an old villa close to Ninna-ji, is opened to the public.

In the villa's sitting room is a low table made from a single piece of Chinese quince.
The polished surface perfectly captures the reflection of the lush green garden outside, bringing the cool shade of the trees into the room.
