  1. In the autumn Nao-san enjoyed an outside tea ceremony along the Path of Philosophy and was joined by an unexpected guest, glorious in the late afternoon sun.

  2. What the photos do not capture is how windy it was...sudden gusts threatened to carry the sweets away, and whisking matcha with a tree trunk as wind break was not the most elegant of experiences🍃🍡🌸😂

  3. A friendly squash guards the precincts of Anraku-ji (住蓮山安楽寺).

    The temple was revived with the founding of Hōnen-in in 1681. It was built in honor of Jūren and Anraku (disciples of Hōnen), who were executed after being accused of seducing two of the emperor's concubines.

  5. 🐭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').

  6. As visitors enter Hōnen-in they pass through the Byakusadan (白砂壇), 2 terraces of white sand (roughly 7m long, 3m wide and 10cm high).
    Said to symbolize water, the sand purifies the body and soul.

    Every 4 or 5 days a priest rakes new patterns, reflecting the weather or season.
