  6. In 834 Ennin (円仁), head of Enryaku-ji (延暦寺), was constructing a new temple in Sagano (嵯峨野) dedicated to Amida.
    Before work was completed on Kedai-ji (華台寺), Emperor Saga (嵯峨天皇 786-842) asked if Ennin would also enshrine an image of Buddha he had commissioned.

  7. In China the birthday of the bamboo 'tree' falls on the 13th day of 5th month, which is known as 'Bamboo Intoxication Day' (竹酔日).

    Bamboo is said to be a tricky grass to transplant and so it was thought best to do it when the bamboo was drunk (celebrating its birthday).

  8. 🎋BRILLIANT BAMBOO🎍

    The bamboo groves of Sagano (嵯峨野竹林の道) may be world famous, but there are many -equally gorgeous- places to see bamboo forests in and around Kyōto.

    Mukō (向日市), a short train ride from the city, has a whole park dedicated to bamboo!

  9. Right up until the Edo period small Buddhist statues were erected in Adashino (化野) to act as both grave markers and as silent guardians to watch over the dead.

    By the 20thC many of these statues were forgotten, half-buried, or lost in wild undergrowth.

  11. A straw 'mino' raincoat (蓑) hangs beside the door at 'Rakushisha' (落柿舎), indicating that the host is home.

    The small cottage was home to Mukai Kyorai (向井去来 1651-1704), chief disciple of Matsuo Bashō. It was here that Bashō composed 'Saga Nikki' (嵯峨日記) in 1691.

  13. The rain goes by many names at this time of year...

    🌧️Saikau (催花雨) = spring rain that hastens the blooming of flowers
    🌧️Kokū (穀雨 April 20ish) = "grain rain"
    🌧️Zuiu (瑞雨) = rain that helps grain crops sprout
    🌧️Kanu (甘雨) = rain that falls at the right time to moisten plants

  14. During Emperor Saga's time a terrible epidemic struck. Kūkai (空海) advised him to copy out the Heart Sutra, and sure enough the plague was ended. The original is displayed every 60 years (next in 2078).

    In 876 Saga's daughter, Princess Masako, turned the palace into Daikaku-ji.

  15. though the sound
    of the cascade
    long since has ceased
    we still hear the murmur
    of its name

    滝の音は
    絶えて久しく
    なりぬれど
    名こそ流れて
    なほ聞えけれ

    Fujiwara-no-Kintō's (大納言公任 966-1041) poem (55 of the Hyakunin Isshu 百人一首) was inspired by the gardens.

  16. 🍃🍁THE TEMPLE WITHOUT WALLS🍂🌨️

    the autumn wind
    twisting and turning
    enters my gate
    秋風や曲がり曲がりて門に入
    -Kobayashi Issa (小林一茶), 1814.
    Trans. David Lanoue.

    Of all the temples in Kyōto, Jōjakkō-ji's (常寂光寺) seasonal transformations are some of the most beautiful.

    ...and this is where Kurobee lives🐈‍⬛

  17. Of all the places in Kyōto with connections to Bashō, 'Rakushisha' (落柿舎 the 'Hut of the Fallen Persimmons') is the easiest to visit.

    You can read all about Mukai Kyorai's (向井去来) hermitage, and his bad luck with the fruit, here⬇️

  23. In 1955 Nishimura Kōchō (西村公朝) became head priest of Otagi Nenbutsu-ji (愛宕念仏寺) and immediately set about reviving the temple.

    With a background in art and restoring Buddhist statuary, Kōchō realised that statues might hold the key to restoring the temple's fortunes.

  24. 😇THE 1200 STONE DISCIPLES😇

    At the foot of Mt Atago (愛宕山) is the small temple of Otagi Nenbutsu-ji (愛宕念仏寺).

    Although it has a history stretching back over 1000 years, the temple might have faded away to nothing were it not for the creation of 1200 statues.

  25. Around this time of year there are a lot of rainy days, but don't be fooled...rainy season has not (quite) yet arrived.
    'Hashiri-zuyu' (走り梅雨) describes the unstable weather preceding the rainy season.
