奈良県桜井の長谷寺に行ってまいりました。

花のお寺と言われる長谷寺は今の時期は「牡丹」が咲き乱れる
素晴らしい景観ですが.....少し遅かったみたいですっかり緑になってました（笑）

今年は桜をはじめ、例年より花のピークが早いみたいです。
しかしながら、有名な登廊を登って眺める景色は素晴らしいものがありました。

この後、シャクナゲ目当てで訪れた室生寺もすっかりシャクナゲの時期は終わってまして....（笑）



Hasedera Temple
The origin of Hasedera Temple lies in the creation of a bronze plaque in 686 by a Buddhist priest named Domyo, who dedicated it to the ailing Emperor Tenmu (631–686) in the hopes of curing his illness. In 727, at the request of Emperor Shomu (701–756), the priest Tokudo erected the Eleven-Headed Kannon statue and enlarged the temple.
Though the temple has suffered several fires over the centuries, it has always been rebuilt and even expanded. Today, it contains several impressive architectural features, including the Niomon Gate, rebuilt in 1889 and housing two giant guardian statues; the Honbo, or head priest’s office, built entirely of cypress in 1924 and listed as an Important Cultural Property; and the Five-Story Pagoda, completed in 1954.
Hasedera is the head temple of the Buzan branch of the Shingon sect of Buddhism. Part of the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage of 33 Buddhist temples of western Japan, Hasedera is dedicated to the worship of Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion.
Known as the Temple of Flowers, Hasedera is surrounded by natural beauty. From mid-April to early May, some 7,000 Chinese peonies bloom along the Covered Stairway leading to the Main Hall. Other highlights include cherry blossoms in the spring and autumn foliage on Japanese maple trees in October and November. Hasedera’s beauty has inspired countless Japanese artists and writers over the centuries. Beside the Covered Stairway is a plum tree that inspired this poem by Ki no Tsurayuki (872–945)
