💜🙏WISTERIA🐕💜

There's been a trellis at Byōdō-in (平等院) for more than 250 years, supporting a huge wisteria (surely one of the city's most photographed).

Minamoto-no-Yorimasa's death is argued by some to be the earliest record of a samurai committing seppuku in defeat.

Beside Byōdō-in's Kannon-do (観音堂), built around 1230, is a fan-shaped stretch of lawn called 'Ogi-no-shiba' (扇の芝), upon which Yorimasa likely killed himself.

#扇の芝 #観音堂 #平等院 #宇治 #鳳凰堂

The original main hall stood closer to the river, but in 1053 the current Hōō-dō was constructed as part of an 'earthly paradise'.

Such was Byōdō-in's beauty that a famous saying went ..."If you are dubious about the existence of Amida's Pure Land, pray at the Temple in Uji".

#Uji #UjiRiver #宇治 #宇治川

After Michinaga passed away in 1027 the 'Uji Palace' (宇治殿) came into possession of his son Yorimichi (藤原頼通 992–1074).

When Yorimichi turned 60 years old he was inspired to transform the sprawling site into a temple, and made the priest Myōson (明尊 971-1063) first abbot.

Byodo-in is famed for its old wisteria trees, supported by a large trellis.

Likely beginning as a summer retreat for Minamoto-no-Tōru (源融 822-95), the man who possibly inspired Murasaki Shikibu's "Hikaru Genji", the property passed through the hands of Emperor Uda, Minamoto-no-Shigenobu (源重信 - Uda's grandson), and on to the powerful Regent Fujiwara-no-Michinaga.

Ujigami-jinja is thought to be the oldest extant shrine building in Japan.

✨😇A SLICE OF PARADISE🪷🎶

Byōdō-in's (平等院) Hōō-dō (鳳凰堂 'Phoenix Hall') was completed in 1053.

Once completely surrounded by Aji-ga-ike pond, the stretch of water helped protect the building from fires in 1336 and 1483 that completely destroyed the rest of the temple.

The 'Phoenix Hall' features on the 10 yen coin, and is one of the most important extant pieces of Heian period architecture in Japan.

Byodo-in's 'Aji-ga-ike' pond helped protect the 'Phoenix Hall' from fire. The rest of the temple's vast complex burnt in various conflagrations.

Manpuku-ji (萬福寺) in Uji, home to the Ōbaku Zen sect (黄檗宗), was founded in 1661 by the Chinese monk Yinyuan Longqi (隱元隆琦 aka Ingen Ryūki 1592-1673). It is considered to be Japan's greatest Chinese-style temple.

🎇🏮CHINESE LANTERN FESTIVAL🏮🎆

Kyōto has many light-up events during the autumn, but Manpuku-ji's is something to behold.

As one might expect from one of the country's few Chinese-style temples, the colourful lanterns are heavily influenced by festivals on the mainland.

Beyond the tea fields the woodland has been allowed to go to seed, with tea plants springing up here and there.

Japanese tea cultivation began in Ujitawara in Kamakura times (1185-1333), and the method of manufacturing green tea developed here in the mid-Edo period (1603-1867).

Yuyadani's organic tea fields allow for the surrounding woodland to grow wild.

Everywhere you walk in Yuyadani you see small wild camellia plants sprouting.

The tour of the tea fields ended with an informal tea ceremony in a woodland clearing. It was a magical experience sitting amongst the tea bushes that provided the leaves for the tea we were enjoying🍵

🌿TEA CEREMONY IN THE TEA FIELDS🍵

A few weeks ago Nao-san made the long trip into the hills of Ujitawara (宇治田原) to enjoy tea amongst the blooming tea fields of Yuyadani (湯屋谷).
As the flowers suck up precious nutrients, it's not so common to see them bloom free.

#Japan #Uji #宇治 #matcha #抹茶 #teatime #teaplantation

Camellia flowers in bloom. On tea plants it is unusually to see the flowers blooming...because they take up precious nutrients the flower buds are typically cut off before maturing.

In June this year two more Pokémon manhole covers appeared in Uji, the home of matcha in Japan.
Both are within easy walking distance of the Keihan Uji Station (and not particularly far from the JR Uji Station).
