Can’t resist… must photograph every maple tree…

A tall lush Japanese maple tree backlit by the sun, illuminating the red leaves. The trunk is in silhouette, and many branched. Green leaves of other trees nearby show through some of the gaps in the leaves.

🍁AUTUMN AT KYŌTO'S GREAT WALL🧱

During fall Kitano Tenmangū allows guests to enjoy the maples that grow along the Odoi (御土居). Now mostly leveled, this great berm was created by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to encircle and define the boundaries of the city.

Autumn at the Tenjingawa, and red leaves gather like a thick carpet about the river.

Orange maple leaves add a splash of colour to a bamboo grove at Kitano Tenmangu.

Steps climb the Odoi under autumn colours. This old earthen berm could easily be mistaken for a natural slope.

The Odoi (御土居) was an earthen berm, erected at the very beginning of 1591 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣秀吉).
Standing just short of 5m tall, the 22.5km embankment encircled the city with an outer moat (where there weren't rivers) and numerous 'gates'.

Beneath the Odoi the Tenjingawa river is flanked by groves of maple trees that come alive in the autumn.

Ekoji Temple rests quietly in Kyoto’s Nishijin district, nestled within Kamigyo Ward.

In its grounds rises a majestic ginkgo tree, more than four centuries old.

Each year, from mid-November to early December, its leaves burn with a radiant golden glow, illuminating the temple with the light of autumn.

During the imperial celebrations the emperor symbolically eats the first new rice of the year, and gives thanks for a successful harvest.

At many shrines the harvest offerings are proudly displayed.

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.

Kōchō first created a ceiling painting of Buddha's 10 Great Disciples (十大弟子), replacing a dragon mural (painted by Kanō Tan'yū 狩野探幽 1602-74) that had been completely destroyed in the Meiji period.
He then turned his attention to crafting an army of statues!

The scroll in the alcove reads...
"Kanza shite shōfū o kiku"🌬️🎐
閑坐聴松風
"To sit quietly and listen to the sound of wind in the pines."

In the tearoom the sound of the hot water boiling is likened to wind rustling through pines.

Much like Christmas, it always feels as if the autumn colours will never arrive...

...but just like that they're here and it doesn't feel as if there's enough time to enjoy them🥹
