When I stood beneath a tree for shade, I felt like I was enveloped with a verdure space.
曇り日の大樹の下のうす青く われに届かぬ蜘蛛の糸垂る
I'm standing beneath the boughs
in a wispy green space,
A thread of a spider
from a bough
is too short for me to reach
(haricot)
(haricot)
I was attracted by the design of the main building, Phoenix Hall, while I'm captivated by the pond called Aji-ike(阿字池）, especially nearby the right wing of the Hall.
The pond reminds me of a tale, The spider's Thread「蜘蛛の糸」, by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa (芥川 龍之介）. At the beginning of the tale, Buddha was meandering around in Paradise and looked down upon the depth of a pond and found a criminal, Kandata.Buddha lowered a thread of a spider for him who did not kill a spider which he scarcely crushed. (the plot is here)
Byōdō-in is located near the wealth of water, Uji-river, the source of it is Biwa-lake.
Strolling along the river that flows with passage of time, I felt as if it ware a brief dream that I was in the tranquil atmosphere of Byōdō-in a little while ago, this world and another one were mingled there.
They were blooming in each stage of their lives.

When placing stethoscope to a tree, you can hear the heartbeat-like sound. I heard the sound of the tree through stethoscope on youtube. The sound is said to be what the tree hears with its branches, its leaves, its roots or with its whole body.
When I'm tired, I hug the tree.It is warm and hugs me back and gives me energy.
The thread looks like a diamond lace, so delicate and beautiful.
Your photos all make me feel calm and peaceful. Thank you for sharing your world.
4年前に始めて平等院を訪れました。宇治駅から歩いて行ける便利な場所にありますね。
でも静かで、洗練された、美しい建物と庭だなあと思いました。近くのお店で宇治のお茶畑があるか尋ねたのを覚えています。でも残念ながら、あの辺りにお茶畑はほとんど無いそうですね。蜘蛛の巣が木漏れ日の中でキラキラ光ってきれいです。緑の木陰でこの様なきれいな蜘蛛の巣を発見したら、じっと眺めていたくなるかもしれません。真ん中に蜘蛛がいるのでしょうか？？長い間忘れていた“蜘蛛の糸”の話がよみがえりました。Thank you for sharing your beautiful world!
I remember feeling overwhelmed by the beauty of Byodo-in which reflects the glory of Fujiwara Michinaga and Yorimichi and people’s quest for the land of Paradise Bliss through peaceful death.
To take over cosmos’ talk, I’ve heard we can hear water running through inside the trunk, probably by stethoscope. A tree lives and breathes just like us. Just standing under a tree, I feel enveloped in green energy.
Spider’s net is a delicate art created by nature. It looks delicate but strong. In your photo, it looks wet with water drops and so beautiful in the reflection of greens.
Thank you again for filling me with calm energy.

平等院、本当にステキに撮れていますね。とてもなつかしいです。宇治は大好きでよく訪ねました。「蜘蛛の糸」は高校の現国の教科書に載っていましたよ。悪夢がよみがえるぅ～！宇治といえば、やっぱり浮舟と匂宮の密会かしら？宇治川の美しい水面の写真を拝見しながら思いました。 ステキな記事をありがとうございます。
露ひとつ 巣に湛えけり 蜘蛛の夢

おそまつでした(笑）
Haricot,
You mentioned "われに届かぬ蜘蛛の糸垂る" and I felt your sadness.
Byodo-in is good place to soothe you. I remembered 浄瑠璃寺 which is dedicated to Amida Buddha. It was long time ago we all visited this temple. He liked this temple, didn't he?
Spider web with shining rain drops is beautiful and symbolic.
When you see a tree which you like, hug it.

Thank you for your comment.
It's moving that you wrote about trees as you mentioned your friends.
When I pass through on the shadows of trees, I sometimes feel like I'm embraced by them.
I'd like to hear their breath.

Thank you for your comment.
お茶やお茶のソフトクリームは売っていますけど、お茶畑は遠いのですね。
わたしも、蜘蛛の巣のおかげで久しぶりにあの短編を思い出しました。
redrose
そうそう、蜘蛛はすごく小さいのが端っこにいました。大変な仕事ですよね。

When I heard of the sound inside the trunks, I thought it was that of sucking up water from roots. Breathing sound is more poetic and I like the idea.
Thank you for your comment.

Thank you for your comment.
古典に詳しくていらっしゃるんですね。
お香の世界に源氏香というのがあると知ったときも、そのように源氏を身近に感じて楽しんでいる人がいるのだと思ったものです。

I'm not a Buddhist, though unconsciously I thought about salvation, I think.
I'd like to search more delightful subject, but on tanka poem I also remember a person who passed away recently.

The vanity of the thread of the spider.
The prosperity of the ancient city.
They are symbolic.
Japanese atmosphere is condensed there.
Thank you.

Ca me faisait plaisir beaucoup.

If the tranquillity could have been expressed, I'm happy.
Thank you very much.
I love all the photos! You did a good job!
From a documentary on the NHK-BS Premium I'm familiar with the architecture of Byodo-in. They shot it from all possible angles and in various seasons.
Little flowers on the roadside are always challenging, most of the times we hardly look at them....not when you have the hydrangeas blooming so lovingly!

I missed the documentary unfortunately. The shape of the temple is attractive and the main Hall wasn't burned and maintains the original apparance.
Thank you for your visit.
Hei, hei, Haricot!
Beautiful and interesting.
Have a happy week!
