  2. Over the centuries the bridge has been swept away by floods on numerous occasions.

    In 1606 Togetsukyō (渡月橋) was moved downstream to its current position by the wealthy merchant Suminokura Ryōi (角倉了以).

  3. The emperor quickly penned a poem that would immortalize the image...

    くまなき月の渡るに似る
    "It looked as if the clear moon was walking over the bridge".

    The name 'Moon Crossing Bridge', Togetsukyō (渡月橋) in Japanese, soon stuck.

  4. 🌙THE MOON CROSSING BRIDGE🌉

    Blossoms at Arashiyama's (嵐山) 180m long Togetsukyō Bridge (渡月橋).

    It is said that one night, glancing across the Ōi River (大堰川) from the Kameyama Palace (亀山殿), Emperor Kameyama (亀山天皇 1249-1305) was bemused by an odd illusion...

  5. The bridge was old by the time of Emperor Kameyama.
    In 836 the Kōryū-ji (広隆寺) monk Dōshō (道昌), having spent months repairing Hōrin-ji (法輪寺), the old Kadono Weir (葛野大堰) and the Fushihara Embankment (罧原堤), embarked on creating the first bridge across the Ōi-gawa.

  6. Went to #Arashiyama #嵐山 in #Kyoto at the peak season of changing leaves #紅葉 in fair weather on November 19, 2022. The crowds of tourists to #Japan are back, although not like 2019 yet. I got there by midday and quickly headed for the famous bridge #渡月橋 and bamboo forest, then two #Japanese #Buddhist #temples, Jojakkoji 常寂光寺 (better for #temple buildings blended with foliage like in these photos) and Nison-In #二尊院 (better for beautiful #trees and stone monuments to #Emperors and aristocrats).
    Our house is near Kyoto, so I do photo shoots like this often. On Facebook as @waoesteve I show and explain much more.
