Koyasan Trail: In the Yagiyama settlement (Yaki-yama) upstream of the Iwashina River, people once burned the mountain to clear land, so it came to be called “Yaki-yama.” From that settlement, a three-kilometer walk into the mountains brings you to a hidden, tranquil realm where sheer cliffs of strange rock rise along a mountain stream. This place is called Koyasan. Long ago it served as a practice site for shugendo ascetics of Shingon esoteric Buddhism, and many stone Buddhist statues stand here. ☆A legendary site linked to a famous priest☆ There is even a legend that Kobo Daishi once visited this place but left because the smell of fertilizer from nearby fields was impure and the valley was not deep enough; he later went to Kishu (Wakayama Prefecture) and established Mount Koya. Supporting that tale, a practice site called “Enma Shingyo” on the cliff’s mid-slope once enshrined a statue of Kobo Daishi, though it has since been relocated to Eizen-ji Temple in Yagiyama. In the late Edo period, a monk named Taizen trained at Enma Shingyo, traveling to nearby villages to perform prayers. His reputed spiritual powers earned him the honorific title O-Daishi, and his devotees grew to some 200 people. When he left the area, he left sutras and priestly robes with the local Taguchi family as mementos. The family preserved a written box inscription noting that Taizen was from Mikawa (Aichi Prefecture), that he visited in the first year of Tenpo (1830) to enshrine a likeness of Kobo Daishi, that he stayed in retreat for about a year, and that many followers gathered. Another tradition says that during the Kenkyu era (1190–1199), the priest Mongaku also stayed here in retreat; when he tried to leave after completing his training, wild roses tangled in his robes and would not let him go. Mongaku then returned to the rock cave and continued his practice. Since then, locals have called those wild roses “Mongaku roses.”

One piece at "Kairaku Park" in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture. This year, we had a series of warm days, so I thought that the flowers would bloom early, but due to the sudden cold, the flowering forecast was greatly off, and the cherry blossoms were in bloom. While the rain continued, we were blessed with fine weather for one day and many people visited.

A scene at Yuki Shrine in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture. Since many Umejiro visit the Yuki Shrine every year, many photographers were visit this year as well. I've had a relationship with Umejiro since last year, and I was able to take a picture of it again this year. It just so happened that I got a line of sight when I clicked the shutter, so it was my favorite one. It has become a piece that feels dignified from the cute Umejiro. ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ Shooting location: Yuki Shrine, Tsu City, Mie Prefecture Shooting date and time: February 24, 2024 10:00 ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
