We traveled to the town of Nagahama on the northeast shore of the huge Lake Biwa (琵琶湖) in Shiga Prefecture. From the resort hotel we could walk along the lake to the castle (長浜城).
On the way to Nagahama, we continued our recent pilgrimages to shrines associated with Japan's creation myth. Taga Grand Shrine (多賀大社), which is noted in the early 8th Century Kojiki and Nihon Shoki chronicles, is dedicated to the founding gods, the male and female couple Izanagi and Izanami.
I made friends with a Japanese couple, which is something unusual in Japan that my wife's friendly parents used to do. Finally we went to an outlet mall and I renewed my tattered summer T-shirts.

The Shintō shrine Jōnangū (城南宮) in Kyōto, was a palace of Emperors from the beginning of the #Heian Period in 794. It has #gardens from different periods since then, and a patch of pink and white #plum blossoms around a big stone lantern is a most stunning sight to behold. Several years ago the head priest showed me around and explained the history in Japanese. Jōnangū is not well known to tourists, but it draws many reverent Japanese.
The third photo is of a teahouse and a reddish variety of plum blossoms. The last photo shows what my American friend whom I guided got: a seal written in #calligraphy by the shrine maiden (o-miko-san). Jōnangū is written down the center, with yesterday's date down the left side. The right side is what the shrine especially offers: houyoke - a #prayer to avoid obstacles or worries, such as with one's family. There is a great demand for such #blessings nowadays.

A summary of my favourite Asian religions:
⭕️ #zen teaches ‘the circle’ - that there is nothing to realise nor the absence of anything to realise
☯️ #taoism teaches the balance of all things and going with the flow.
☸️ #buddhism makes one aware of illusions and that happiness exists in the present moment.
🕉️ #hinduism teaches life as a drama and joy may comes from taking it less seriously.
⛩️ #shintoism teaches living in harmony with the environment.
🪬 #jainism teaches interconnectedness.

Small wooden plaques used to express wishes to gods have been hung up at Shinto shrines for centuries. But in the age of social media, some people are opting to cover what they have written using a sticker to protect their privacy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/11/23/japan/society/ema-privacy-protection/?utm_content=buffer3b2c5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #society #shintoism #worship #privacy

The Kashihara shrine (橿原神宮) area of Nara is a cradle of Japanese civilization formerly known as Yamato. I especially didn't want to miss the archaeological museum, so a couple of its treasures are included here. The shrine is dedicated to the legendary first Emperor Jimmu (神武天皇). The Buddhist temple Kumedera (久米寺) near Kashihara Jingū is a Shingon temple, but it predates the founder Kūkai. It was where Kūkai found the indecipherable Mahāvairocana Sūtra (大日経) that justified his precious voyage to Chang'an, as I alluded recently in the journal paper "Translation Issues in the Rapid Transmission of Esoteric Buddhism from India to China to Japan" at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371965557

Tourists seem to be missing the best parts of some major Shintō shrines in Kyōto, the inner gardens with ponds. During this spring season, they are like Renoir paintings, but with a blue heron. The Heian Jingū (平安神宮) has its iconic long and symmetrical buildings that replicate the former Imperial palace, but here are some scenes from the entrance and inside the garden area. Read more details in the captions if you like.
