Day 5: Tōshōin!

Tōshōin was born into a powerful samurai family during the Sengoku period. She was not a famous beauty; indeed, with no marriage on offing, she took vows at the beautiful Ryōan-ji Temple, founded by her father. Her ambitious brother, Hosokawa Masamoto, however, had different plans for his sister. She made a political marriage to Akamatsu Masanori, whose Akamatsu clan had blood ties to the royal family.

Tōshōin and her husband had one daughter, but only a few years after the marriage, Masanori died, leaving the clan leaderless. Tōshōin’s infant daughter was “married” to an equally young cousin, while relatives and retainers fought over their guardianship - a battle Tōshōin was ultimately to win.

She guided the Akamatsu clan though the era’s bloody power struggles, managing their lands as well as their diplomacy. When her son-in-law rebelled against the Shogun, it was Tōshōin who made the peace treaty, and when he rebelled against her, she soundly defeated him. Her young grandson inherited de jure leadership, but it was Tōshōin and her daughter who ruled the clan; she was recognized in practice if never by name as the Daimyo.

📸龍安寺庭園“石庭” / Ryoanji Temple Rock Garden, Kyoto 京都の世界遺産『龍安寺庭園“石庭”』が素敵…！ 世界中の人が再び訪れる日を待ち侘びる日本の代表的な“禅の庭”…作庭者は室町幕府管領 #細川勝元？美術家 #相阿弥 ？茶人 #金森宗和 …？15の石の配置の意味は…？まだまだ謎多き、その謎の考察も楽しい枯山水は『庭の国宝』国の特別名勝にも指定。 京都・龍安寺庭園“石庭”の紹介は☟ https://oniwa.garden/ryoan-ji-temple-rock-garden-%e9%be%8d%e5%ae%89%e5%af%ba%e5%ba%ad%e5%9c%92/ ...... “石庭”(The Rock Garden)が有名な「龍安寺」は室町時代中期に創建された臨済宗の禅寺。 世界遺産“古都京都の文化財”にも構成され、“石庭”こと『龍安寺方丈庭園』が“庭の国宝”国の特別名勝(＆特別史跡)、江戸時代の建築である龍安寺本堂(方丈)も国重要文化財、境内に広がる池泉“鏡容池”も『龍安寺庭園』として国指定名勝です。 . これまで何度か訪れていますが、2022年『京の夏の旅』の「龍安寺仏殿・西の庭」の特別公開で約2年ぶりに訪れました！まずは石庭のこと。 . お寺の正式名は「大雲山 龍安寺」。貴族・徳大寺家の平安時代からの別荘があった地を管領・細川勝元が譲り受け、妙心寺5世住職・義天玄承禅師を開山に迎え1450年に創建。 その後すぐに勃発した応仁の乱⚔️で焼失してしまいますが、1499年に勝元の息子・細川政元が再建。 . 江戸時代中頃の1797年にも火災🔥に遭い、主要なお堂を焼失。 私たちが“石庭”を眺める建物＝国指定重要文化財の本堂（方丈）はその火災の後に同じ龍安寺の境内にある『西源院』より移築されたもの。『西源院』さんは現在湯豆腐のお店として庭園が公開されています（別途紹介）。 . この方丈の沿いには江戸時代、水戸黄門こと徳川光圀に寄進されたと伝わるつくばいも。 . そして！今日では世界中から鑑賞する人が訪れる“石庭”。東西25m、南北10mの中に白砂が敷き詰められ、その中に大小15の石が配された枯山水庭園。 （つうか、朝イチでもないのに平日ならまだこんな独占できるのか…） 続く。 ーーーーーーーー #japanesegarden #japanesegardens #kyotogarden #zengarden #beautifulkyoto #beautifuljapan #japanesearchitecture #japanarchitecture #japandesign #japanart #jardinjaponais #jardinjapones #japanischergarten #jardimjapones #建築デザイン #庭園 #日本庭園 #京都庭園 #庭院 #庭园 #石庭 #枯山水 #枯山水庭園 #karesansui #worldheritage #世界遺産 #おにわさん (Ryōan-ji) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgFGKA1rUN7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Zashiki Warashi*

Perhaps I’m leaning too much into the wind, as if it were a carpet meant to carry me over meadows.

Perhaps you’re right, and it’s only my imagination that flickered that day at Ryōan-ji**, so long ago, when I thought a spirit from the garden joined me on the journey to the other side of the Pacific, next to the Rockies.

And when I thought you left, perhaps you only went to sleep while I returned to my ancestral home from the Carpathian Mountains.

Now I’m all alone, and yesterday your name echoed on the tv screen.

And then came the power cut and the internet outage, and next morning came the frog jumping on the floor of the stable and disappearing below through a crack, and the stirring shadow at the edge of the terrace, and the cows that gave more milk than usual, and the rusty nails pushed by the broom in musical dance, and the candies that shifted on the plate from the living room.

Perhaps I’m leaning too much into the wind, and it’s only my imagination fluttering, like a pair of butterfly wings burdened by hope.

But I can’t help thinking that you might be here.

*Zashiki-warashi (座敷童子, or 座敷童, “parlor child”), sometimes also called zashiki bokko (座敷ぼっこ, “parlor boyo”), are spirit-like beings told about mostly in the Iwate Prefecture. They are said to be yokai that live in parlors or storage rooms, and that perform pranks, and that people who see one would be visited with good fortune. (from Wikipedia)

**Ryōan-ji (Shinjitai: 竜安寺, Kyūjitai: 龍安寺, The Temple of the Dragon at Peace) is a Zen temple located in northwest Kyoto, Japan. It belongs to the Myōshin-ji school of the Rinzai branch of Zen Buddhism. The Ryōan-ji garden is considered one of the finest surviving examples of kare-sansui (“dry landscape”), a refined type of Japanese Zen temple garden design generally featuring distinctive larger rock formations arranged amidst a sweep of smooth pebbles (small, carefully selected polished river rocks) raked into linear patterns that facilitate meditation. The temple and its gardens are listed as one of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, and as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. (from Wikipedia)

RYŌAN-JI

Capté sonido de agua, leve, amortecido quizá, sofocado correr de agua. Alguien cruzando la nave; cabello negro al vuelo, centellas de pupilas negras.

Conté las piedras una a una: quizá no fueran más que siete; escrutándolas eran justo tres; las examiné de nuevo atento y no había más que una.

Al fin me hizo perder la cuenta el rimero de piedras sin cuento; la ira de las piedras inflamadas, el súbito silencio de las piedras, su afán por alzarse clamando, todas crispadas por tornar al cielo.
