Last summer Nao-san planned to enjoy 'nodate' (野点 'outdoor tea ceremony') in each of the 4 seasons, and finally that dream came to pass
Nao-san finds a quiet spot (-not an easy task-) along the Tenjingawa (天神川) to enjoy tea beneath the blossoms
falling, falling
all over the food...

I went out exploring again today, and I’m pretty sure I found #Spring.
A tree close to the main hall of Myōren-ji unseasonably began blooming on the 13th day of the 10th month, the anniversary of Nichiren's (日蓮 1222-82) death.
Because of this it became known as 'Oeshiki-zakura' (御会式桜 'Memorial to Nichiren Sakura').
Myōren-ji (妙蓮寺) was once counted as 1 of the 21 head temples of the Nichiren sect in Kyōto (there are currently 16 of the original temples left).
It's known for its beautiful cherry blossoms, connected to Buddha's birth and Nichiren's death.
