  18. It is the goddess of childbirth that we have to thank for the many plum trees growing in the grounds of Umenomiya Taisha.

    The word for 'giving birth' (umu 産む) and 'plum' (ume 梅) sound similar, and as ume are some of the first trees to bloom after the winter they have come to symbolise new life.

  20. There’s a plum tree near my place called “Omoinomama” (「思いのまま」“As it wishes”) because it blooms randomly in two or three colors every year (white, pink and sometimes red).
    It’s blooming right now 🥰
    It’s not very impressive, but I still love it 🤍🩷

  22. Old before Kyōto was born, Jōnan-gū stood conveniently to the capital's south west and was thus considered protection against this unlucky direction.

    Emperor Kanmu probably established the shrine that we know, and even now people pray here for protection from unlucky directions.

  23. 🗺️🤔SOUTH OF THE CAPITAL🧭🌸

    Second only to Kitano Tenmangū as the go-to destination for plum blossoms, Jōnan-gū's "Spring Mountain" (春の山) reimagines a Heian-period style garden.

  27. 🤔A note on 'ume' (梅)📢

    Although we often translate 'ume' as 'plum blossoms' or the 'Japanese apricot' in English, the 'prunus mume' tree is actually related to both the apricot AND plum.

    It is thus better to perhaps think of 'ume' on its own terms.

    With a spattering of snow on the ground it feels too cold for blossoms, but on the trees you will see the buds ready to bloom.
