Janome Erika is said to have been named because the black part (anther) at the center of the flower looks like a snake's eyes.

There are various theories, such as the theory that gomoju is derived from the scent of sesame when rubbing leaves, and the theory that is planted in front of the palace of the Ryukyu dynasty and derived from the gate tree, which is preferred as an auspicious tree.

Crematisian Sunensis is a unique flower that blooms downward with evergreen winter blooming.

Even though Ekeberia in succulent plant is small, it has colorful flowers.

In addition, although the number of flowers is still limited, you can enjoy Naniwazu, quiltans, pansies, violas, etc., mainly on the flower terrace.

This time, we also visited the site of making humus in the backyard.

In 1998, it was registered in World Heritage by UNESCO as part of the cultural property of the ancientmain deity Nara.

Jionden was founded in the Edo period and was relocated to the current Xuangzang Sanzoin temple complex in 1988.

Gohei Hosokawa (former Prime Minister) will dedicate a total of 66 shohekigas (108 pieces) to Jionden, and 23 (37 pieces) on the north side will be exhibited prior to completion in 2019.

At the same time, some precious temple treasures such as "Shoka" dedicated to Yakushi-ji Temple and seated statue of Jion Daishi are also on display.

The scattered flower is a vetch-shaped piece of paper scattered around the Buddhist memorial service, and the scattered flowers on display are Ikuo Hirayama, Kaii Higashiyama, Yuki Ogura, Ryohei Koiso, Shoko Uemura, Tokushi Okumura, Morikazu Kumagai, Kazumasa Nakagawa, Junsaku Koizumi, Tamako Kataoka, and Matazo Kayama.

It was interesting to see the artist's individuality in how to use the extremely limited space of scattered flowers.

Also, Mr. Hosokawa's shohekiga was very impressive in yellow. It will be waiting for completion.

birdwatching at Hamarikyu Gardens

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] February 4, 2017 14:00

I went to birdwatching on January 30 at Hamarikyu Gardens.

First of all, on the Tsukiji River seen from the Ote-mon gate Bridge, the resident birds Indian spot-billed duck and the Ooban met us all year round.

 

Cal and Obang. jpg

Go inside and around the clock. In the canola flower field in full bloom and the grassland with plums, small birds are busy eating. This is Hakusekirei, Japanese white-eye, starling and brown-eared bulbul.

This is a winter bird that can only be seen in winter, a female from dusky thrush, pale thrush and daurian redstart.

When you come to the landing of the water bus, Tobi, dance, aerial battle? ? The pheasant was quietly in the grass.

You can only meet in winter. This is the difference in size.

 

Winter bird jpg 

I came to Koshindo Kamoba. It's not too much. Last winter, it was even more dense, but this year it is a spacious space.

 

This is Kamoba. jpg 

Are the winter birds mallard and Hoshihajiro taking a pleasant nap? ? Onaga was up. It is to keep your body temperature open to your eyes and crouching your face.

It's near Ochiya in Nakajima, a pond of Shioiri.

From the left, the winter bird tufted duck, the center is green-winged teal, and the right is northern shoveler. northern shoveler is valuable because it can only be seen here in Hamarikyu in Chuo-ku.

Yokobori can see water birds closest to the garden. In addition, the sunshine is the best waterside in the garden, so you can see the birds swimming cutely.

 

This time, I met 22 kinds of birds in birdwatching in Hamarikyu Gardens.

 

☆Especially on cold days, the birds are only crouching, so they may lack a little fun. Also, at Koshindo Kamoba, you can see it even better if you have binoculars.

☆In the flower garden, birds will come when the traffic is gone, so please wait quietly.

☆Please note that Koshindo Kamoba has large trees and is shaded and cold, and some scaffolds are bad.

 

It is a wonderful garden where you can meet many birds and water birds at once in Chuo-ku, along with the seaside and forest and wild birds.

Please go out on a warm winter day.
