Until Tuesday, December 24, the Izusan Local Museum is exhibiting the original Hokke Mandala.
According to Izusan Shrine tradition, this Hokke Mandala was embroidered with the hair of Hojo Masako. A repair inscription on the back records that Hojo Masako used her own hair to stitch the Hokke Mandala to pray for the soul of her husband, Minamoto no Yoritomo, and that it was enshrined as the principal image of the Hokke Hall.
The museum usually displays a replica, but the original is on temporary public view for the first time in two years and four months.
Please take time to appreciate the three-dimensional Sanskrit characters made with hair and the subtle coloration of the backing that only the original can show.

The autumn leaves at Atami Plum Garden are now at their peak!
The garden has about 380 maple trees, and perhaps because of the mild climate they usually change color from late November through December, earning the reputation of being "the latest autumn leaves in Japan."
Early-blooming plum trees have already started flowering since mid-October, so searching for plum blossoms while enjoying the autumn foliage is a unique Atami experience.

On Thursday, November 28, the blooming of the "Himalaya cherry" in Shinsui Park was confirmed. (Photo taken November 29)
Of the two trees, the one facing the sea has begun to bloom, and only the uppermost part is flowering. Other buds are swelling, so more blooms are expected soon.
This cherry is a rare variety that typically blooms from late November through December, producing delicate pale pink flowers.
In Atami City, the parent tree stands on a slope near Atami High School, and young trees are scattered around Shinsui Park, Tsukimigaoka Park, the Sakura Scenic Walk, Nagahama Seaside Park, and other locations.
The parent tree originates from seeds of the “Himalaya zakura” that were presented to former Crown Prince (later King) Birendra of Nepal during his study at the University of Tokyo. In August 1967, when he visited Ito City, the Atami Botanical Friends Association offered seeds of Atami cherries and plums. In return, seeds of the Himalaya zakura were sent from Nepal in May 1968 and sown and grown in July of the same year at the municipal farm in Shimotaga, Atami City.
Against the cold sky, the modestly blooming cherry is very beautiful.
Himalaya cherry
A deciduous tall tree that grows in temperate to subtropical zones around the Himalayas.
It blooms in November–December with reddish flowers; petals measure 8–13 mm in length and the flowers are rich in nectar.
Scientific name: Prunus cerasoides
Family: Rosaceae Genus: Prunus Origin: Nepal
Number of trees (as of November 2019): 49 in total
・Slope near Atami High School (parent tree, 1): Kamitaga, Atami City
・Tsukimigaoka Park (1): Shimotaga, Atami City
・Shinsui Park (2): beside the first parking lot of Shinsui Park, Nagisa-cho, Atami City
・Beside Taga Junior High School gymnasium (2): Shimotaga, Atami City
・Sakura Scenic Walk (14): Kamitaga, Atami City
・Nagahama Seaside Park (29): Kamitaga, Atami City
Inquiries: Atami City Parks and Greenery Division Phone 0557-86-6218
At Atami Plum Garden, autumn colors will soon be at their peak, and early-blooming plums have been flowering since October, so right now you can see autumn leaves, plums, and cherries in Atami at the same time.
