古都京都の世界文化遺産・仁和寺 / Nin Na Ji - Kyoto World Cultural Heritage

先週、このブログに「醍醐寺」を紹介しました。ポストを書く中、「醍醐寺」の「仁王門」という建造物の名前を書く時、「仁王門」、「仁王門」、突然に「仁和寺」の存在を覚えていました。だから、今週「仁和寺」を紹介していきます。I have written about 'Dai Go Ji' last week. When I came across the building with the name of 'Ni Ou Mon'... I suddenly remembered the existence of 'Nin Na Ji'. Therefore, I have decided to introduce 'Nin Na Ji' this week.

実は「仁和寺」の境内に。。。
You can find...

五重塔とか、 5 Storey Pagoda

	きれいな庭とか、 Beautiful Garden,

神像とか、いろいろな文化財があります。
しかし、以上の風景は普通です。
statue of gods within the compound of 'Nin Na Ji'.
However, the photos in the above were pretty normal,
especially when most of the temples in Kyoto had
similar structures like 5 Storey Pagoda, etc...

「仁和寺」の境内、一番有名なものは。。。
What makes 'Nin Na Ji' so special would be...

		ご境内の「御室桜」です。 どうしてですか？ 実はそこの桜は独特な ところがあります。 例えば：丈の低い桜樹、 咲きの時間が遅い。。。
'Omuro Sakura'. This is because the height of the 'Omuro Sakura' tree were pretty short. As the trees were shorter, you can take a closer look at the Sakura flowers. Another interesting point about the 'Omuro Sakura' tree would be the fact that the 'Omuro Sakura' trees will only be in full bloom in mid April. Which makes it much slower than all the other Sakura trees in Kyouto.

もし皆さん「仁和寺」で参りたかったら、美しい御室桜のために、
毎年の四月初から四月中まで期間へ行った方がいいですよ。
（実は僕は「仁和寺」の桜を見たことがありませんでした。遺憾です。）
If you want to visit 'Nin Na Ji', you probably might want to pay a visit to the Temple during Spring or probably early April to mid April, especially when the Sakura flowers of 'Omuro Sakura' were at full bloom.
(Actually, I have not seen 'Omuro Sakura' of 'Nin Na Ji' before, but I think I'm regretting it.)

古都京都の世界文化遺産・醍醐寺 / Dai Go Ji - Kyoto World Cultural Heritage

先週、面倒くさい事がたくさんあるので、京都の世界文化遺産の紹介は一週間止めていました。すみませんでした。しかし、先週までに全部して終わりました。だから、今週から京都の世界文化遺産の紹介が続きます。今週は京都の「醍醐寺」を紹介していきます。「醍醐寺」は、春の桜で有名です。「醍醐寺」の境内きれいな花がある以外、平安時代の五重塔とか、西大門(仁王門)とか、様々な面白い建造物もあります。
As I need to accomplish a series of troublesome task last week, I have to cease the task of introducing the World Heritage of Kyoto. However, with the accomplishment of all the troublesome task last week, I finally can continue with the the task of introducing the World Heritage of Kyoto. Therefore, let me start with 'Dai Go Ji' this week. The most famous thing about 'Dai Go Ji' would probably be the Sakura flowers within the compound of &aposDai Go Ji'. Besides for the infamous Sakura flowers of 'Dai Go Ji' some of the structures that was built within the compound of 'Dai Go Ji' were pretty interesting too.

Stone Monument of 'Dai Go Ji'

「醍醐寺」の参道・桜のトンネル 「醍醐寺」で、参道の両側でたくさん桜樹があります。 だから、桜が満開の季節に、ここで桜のトンネルにみたいです。 附：以上の写真に、桜がまだ満開のところです。面白いでしょう？ Sakura Tunnel of 'Dai Go Ji' Within the compound of 'Dai Go Ji', most of the pavement had Sakura trees planted on both sides of it. Therefore, during the season of Spring, with the blooming of the Sakura trees, the pavement of 'Dai Go Ji' will look like a tunnel surrounded with Sakura flowers. Note: Although the photos in the above doesn't shows Sakura flowers in full bloom, but it still looks very beautiful. Don't you agree with me?

「醍醐寺」の霊宝館のしだれ桜 以上のしだれ桜以外、「醍醐寺」に他の桜種類もあります。 例えば：ソメイヨシノとか、八重ザクラとかいろいろな種類もあります。 附：「醍醐寺」に樹齢100年を越える桜樹がありますよ。 Weeping Sakura of the 'Reihokan'(Museum) of 'Dai Go Ji' Besides for the Sakura flowers shown in the above, you can also find some other types of Sakura trees within the compound of 'Dai Go Ji'. Note: you can easily find Sakura trees with an age of more than 100 years old in 'Dai Go Ji'. XD

西大門(仁王門) 両側で真剣な仁王像があります。 怖過ぎです。XD Sai Dai Mon(Nio Mon) On both sides of the gate would be the stone statue of 'Nio'. According to 'Buddhism', 'Nio' is also known as the Guardians of the great Buddha. I think the statues look so realistic that to some extent, the statues can appear to be quite frightening.

	平安時代の五重塔 これは京都府下最古の建造物です。 インタネットによると、この五重塔内部の壁画は、 日本密教絵画の源流をなすものといわれていました。
Five-Storey Pagoda built during the Heian Period This was the oldest structure in Kyoto that was made from wood. According to the Internet, it had also mentioned that the paintings that was painted on the walls of the Pagoda had probably set the foundation for Buddism paintings in Japan.
