HIRANO SHRINE

Sunday, August 30, 2009






This is a shrine that I found by accident when I was lost in Kyoto looking for RYOANJI. According to the sign it is called WARA TEN JINGU.

RYOANJI Temple in Kyoto






























It's the first time I have seen supports to keep trees standing like this.


I think that the buildings are the tombs of the Fujiwara emperors.













I took these pictures in Spring 2005.
