Cherry-blossom viewing cherry tree famous as "late blooming cherry". The cherry blossoms cherry blossoms in the precincts of Kyoto · Ninna-ji temple have been popular as cherry blossoms of the common people since the Edo period. Ninna-ji was founded in 888, is the head temple of Omuya temple of about 790 temples nationwide. "Oimuro" is a room (a separate room of a priest) that was made for Emperor Uda who founded Ninna-ji, but since the Kamakura period it became an alias for Ninna-ji itself.
In the Kamakura era's famous essay writing "Shogakusa", many monks of Ninna-ji, full of humanity, such as a ji-jitsu who has drunk and wears foot ding (three-legged kettle) from the head and has not come out, appears. It might have been a temple that made us feel familiar somewhere while dressed in the dignity as the headquarters.

Kobo Daishi When Kukai crossed China (Tang), he copied the scriptures and brought them back to Japan, it is truly a "National Treasure of Miracles" that has been protected at Toji, Koyasan, and Ninna-ji.
There are things written by the Kaikai himself in addition to Tang's photographer in the 30th book, and you can see the typeface of "Floor, row, grass". It might be interesting to compare the fancy font of a very tight, serious Tang duo with the fancier of Kukai. Would not it be felt that a brilliant impression would be felt open-minded to the brushstrokes of Kukai anywhere?
