Today's Ramen: Suta-Men / Start with Men in Nishikyo, Kyoto.

Light tonkotsu soup with thick noodles and, unusual, thinly cutted chashu pork meat.

Clear recommendation for everyone who's not a great fan of the thicker classic chashu slices.

The garlic spice they provide is also a hit. Hits the people around you hard, too, though.

In 1644 Tōfukumon-in, consort of Emperor Go-Mizunoo, was bequeathed the old hermitage of Jimyōin Motoko (持明院基子 ?-1644).

She suggested the emperor construct a new temple, and so in 1654 he established Reikan-ji (霊鑑寺) with his daughter Gekkō Sōchō (月江宗澄) as founding head.

#Reikanji #霊鑑寺 #Kyoto #京都

A beautiful white and pink camellia flower.
Camellia flowers were often shunned by the samurai classes. Flowers drop whole before releasing their petals, and it was likened to a beheading. The superstitious warrior class worried the flower might symbolise loss and failure.
Everywhere you look at Reikan-ji during early spring there are camellias in bloom...so many in fact that the flowers are used as decorations throughout the grounds.
Reikan-ji's grounds sprawl up the foothills of the eastern mountains, making camellia plants a sensible plant for such rugged terrain.

Although predominantly considered a winter plant, camellias can be seen blooming for a large part of the year (from late fall to mid-spring)🙌

Camellia flowers inspire a mind-boggling number of traditional sweets.

The most famous, and one of the oldest (an early version featuring in 'The Tale of Genji'), is 'tsubaki-mochi' (椿餅). Camellia leaves adorn a sticky rice cake, but unlike sakura-mochi the leaves act as decoration only.

Tsubaki-mochi are rice cakes adorned with camellia leaves.

Delicate sweets modeled on the kind of camellia flowers found on tea bushes. It is very unusual to see tea bushes in bloom as they are usually carefully cultivated.

Kotokiki-chaya (琴きき茶屋) in Arashiyama is famous for its 2 types of sakura-mochi.

The 1st is unusual because there is no bean filling, taking its flavour from the 2 sakura leaves.
The 2nd, wrapped in red bean paste, is shaped like Mt.Arashi. It has been served for 110 years.

😋SAKURAMOCHI🌸
It's that most wonderful time of the year...'sakuramochi' (桜餅) in abundance🙌

'Sakuramochi' (桜餅) begin appearing in stores around the time of Hina Matsuri (雛祭り "Doll's Day" - March 3rd) and are eaten throughout the spring.

Sakura-mochi is a popular sweet enjoyed around the time of the cherry blossoms. There are few types, the most iconic consisting of a sticky rice cake wrapped in a sakura leaf.

📷 A veces hago fotos que, en su momento, me parecen de lo más anodinas. En este caso, una mujer caminando por los jardines del Castillo de Nijo (Kioto, 2010). Una de las muchas que vestía kimono/yukata. Sin embargo, al procesar la foto y pasarla a B/N me gustó el contraste con el fondo, el diseño del paraguas, que llevase una carpeta en la mano (estaba organizando una boda), y acabó entre mis favoritas de ese viaje...

Feliz jueves 🖖🏼

A view of Kyoto's Maruyama Park on a wintry late afternoon. A layer of fresh snow lies across shrubs and leafless trees. Two female figures in traditional dress share an umbrella as they stand by the park's pond, seemingly waiting for someone; another figure has crossed a short bridge up ahead and is approaching around the curve of the pond. Beyond, the shadows of the mountains around Kyoto draw a jagged line across a dim, overcast sky. Snow continues to fall across the scene.

Last rebuilt in 1907, the 11.7m granite bridge is barely 60cm wide.

Bubbling up on Hiei-zan, the Shirakawa (白川) eventually flows through Gion. Fine sand would flow down from the mountain, settling on the bed. In the sun it would shine white, giving 'White River' its name.

During the 'Kaihōgyō' (回峰行) Tendai monks descend from Enryaku-ji (延暦寺) on Mt. Hiei and complete various prayer routes that take them into the city and back to their home temple.
This ascetic practice is undertaken for 1000 days (over 7 years)!

🙏BRIDGE OF ASCETICS🌉

Not too far from Chion-in (知恩院), Gyōja-bashi (行者橋 'Bridge of Ascetics') straddles the Shirakawa River (白川).

Monks participating in the 'Kaihōgyō' (回峰行) cross the narrow bridge on their 75th day, en route to Yasaka-jinja (八坂神社).

📷 Si bien algunas fotos resultan inesperadas, otras son sólo cuestión de paciencia. Quieres hacer la «postal» de turno. Y, sí, que haya millones de fotos parecidas no te desanima, porque quieres hacer «tu» versión de la postal. Llegas, te colocas y... a esperar. En esta foto del templo Kiyomizu-dera (Kioto, 2016) me pasé unas 4 horas en el mismo lugar para poder hacer fotos de día, al atardecer y por la noche 😅

Feliz martes 🖖🏼

La foto muestra la «terraza» del templo, una plataforma que se sostiene por cientos de pilares de madera, que sobresale de la colina y ofrece impresionantes vistas de la ciudad. En el momento de la foto, la terraza estaba llena de turistas. Rodeando el edificio, aunque varios metros más abajo, vemos árboles de hojas rojizas. A principios de diciembre llega el momiji, la época en la que los arces japoneses se ponen de este color. Además, se ve un sendero entre los árboles por el que caminan turistas. La foto se tomó poco antes de ponerse el sol, lo que le da una luz muy calida a la imagen.

It was a little wet for an outdoor tea ceremony, but blossoms are so fleeting you have to enjoy them while you can.

Saikatō (菜花糖) were first created by samurai in the Edo period to enjoy with tea ceremony. They can be eaten by themselves, or added to water to create a fragrant, yuzu-flavoured drink. The sweets are coloured yellow by pigment taken from the gardenia flower.
