A stroll through Sagano's famous bamboo (short and sweet to make it look as if it was peaceful and empty😅).
DanielIt may be a little cliché, but it's a little hard to go through Arashiyama without posting up a shot of the stunning bamboo.

Sagano Bamboo Grove, Arashiyama, Kyoto, Japan
Unable to refuse an imperial request, but not wanting to 'demote' either of the images, Ennin decided to enshrine both statues of as principal objects of worship.
The name Kedai-ji was dropped in favour of the more fitting Nison-in (二尊院), 'Temple of the 2 Revered Images'.
In 834 Ennin (円仁), head of Enryaku-ji (延暦寺), was constructing a new temple in Sagano (嵯峨野) dedicated to Amida.
Before work was completed on Kedai-ji (華台寺), Emperor Saga (嵯峨天皇 786-842) asked if Ennin would also enshrine an image of Buddha he had commissioned.
Right up until the Edo period small Buddhist statues were erected in Adashino (化野) to act as both grave markers and as silent guardians to watch over the dead.
By the 20thC many of these statues were forgotten, half-buried, or lost in wild undergrowth.
One of the loveliest features of the hut is a small box, 'tōku-bako' (投句箱), for posting your poems...keeping the original purpose of the thatched cottage alive.

🎋BRILLIANT BAMBOO🎍
The bamboo groves of Sagano (嵯峨野竹林の道) may be world famous, but there are many -equally gorgeous but far quieter- places to see bamboo forests in and around Kyōto.
Mukō (向日市), a short train ride from the city, has a whole park dedicated to bamboo!
The rain goes by many names at this time of year...
🌧️Saikau (催花雨) = spring rain that hastens the blooming of flowers
🌧️Kokū (穀雨 April 20ish) = "grain rain"
🌧️Zuiu (瑞雨) = rain that helps grain crops sprout
🌧️Kanu (甘雨) = rain that falls at the right time to moisten plants
