If it is the hydrangea that colors the rainy season, then the azalea adds color to Kamakura after the cherry blossoms. Even Saeko had no objections. She somehow managed to rent this old private house in Omachi, but it is so open that even sitting on the sunny porch makes her uncomfortable. A good percentage of passersby look at this old private house. Eventually, she would like many people to enjoy this space, but she cannot allow this restlessness with her values. After living such a frustrating life, she took action to solve this vision problem after a year. She still need a blindfold. But a metal or concrete fence is not an option. Black charred cedar boards, bamboo branches, or rather, hedges that allow they to feel the four seasons and that passers-by can enjoy are good. She also want to make it as gorgeous as possible. Kamakura is a treasure trove of hedges. She traveled around the city for a while and witnessed the claims of various houses, such as masaki, witch hazel, boxwood, conifer, and sasanqua. The kanji character for azalea was chosen because it makes people stop walking unintentionally.
By the way, if she arrange it on a slope and plant it like a wall like Anyoin-temple, she can build a wall of azaleas that is pleasing to the eye, but this old private house does not have such a slope, so she have to stretch it higher than the eyes of passers-by. It seems that it will give the impression that it has grown considerably. Saeko piled up the soil, planted azaleas on it, and covered the soil with moss. In addition, this strategy was successful, and the alleys of Kamakura were complemented, resulting in the Kamakura Landscape Award. Most tourists in Kamakura go home on the same day. If you take the train, get off at Kita-Kamakura and follow the route from Engakuji Temple to Kenchoji Temple to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, and it will be around lunch time. How will you spend your afternoon? you usually head to Hase Daibutsu and take the Enoden back from Kamakura or Fujisawa. Very few people visit Omachi for sightseeing. This is a town where most of the locals live. However, this old private house surrounded by azaleas was different. Here you can find the calmness of the ancient capital, which is the image of Kamakura that people have, the atmosphere of the great writers, and the slow time with the scent of the sea. When Saeko started the cafe, her comfort level became popular, and repeat customers began to come for the purpose of spending time here, saying that she had found her place. Most of them are single customers. A woman reading a paperback with her legs dangling from her porch. She is a young man who just typed something into her laptop. An elderly man lying on a tatami mat and looking at the sky above the hedge with his elbow pillow. He spends his time here as if it were his own home. Saeko was thinking about her new conception, thinking that she wouldn't mind supporting these kind of freeloads.
She said, "Kamakura isn't the only day trip sightseeing spot. Please spend more time there."
Involved her neighborhood friend Akane and started her accommodation. Cherry blossom tunnel in Highland, azaleas at Anyoin-temple and this inn, hydrangeas at Meigetsuin-temple and other places, fireflies dancing dimly in the Nameri River and its tributaries, the sound of leaves in the bamboo grove at Hokokuji-temple, the autumn leaves of Shishimai-valley with ginkgo and maple trees, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu-shrine If you put yourself in the peonies of Genji Pond and the Kamakura Biotope, which has a radius of several kilometers, you will become more aware of the flora and fauna of nature, and become familiar with the sky and the universe. The presence of the sea is undoubtedly what makes this land, just an hour away from Tokyo, so special. In the feng shui of the Kamakura shogunate, this sea, which is located in Suzaku, gives the city a cycle of waves. On days of big waves, the city rises. The wind from the far Pacific Ocean strikes the surface of the water, passing the baton for many kilometers and bringing big waves to Yuigahama. On a bright moonlit night, when the reflected light from the sea stretches a gold carpet toward you, a world-scale stage is staged on the normally calm Yuigahama Beach. The lighting, sound, and performers are all genuinely from the natural world. Those who witness this night for the first time are riveted for a while. Then the next morning. Through the night, the broken droplets of the waves linger in the air, moistening it. The dry air is refreshing and feels good, but the feeling of something moist touching your skin reminds you that your body is also made up of moisture inside and outside your cells. The thought comes to the fact that the moisture is maintained and established by being in the water. The atoms that make up the cells, and the elementary particles that make up the cells, are the origin of the universe in the first place. Morning beach yogis and yoginis may find it easier to explore the Upanishads. On nights when there was no performance in the natural world, Saeko held a performance. The shamisen, the sanshin, the ukulele, the bongos, the kokyu, and the shakuhachi were all perfect for the vibrations of the Kamakura night.
The reputation became popular, and in addition to Saeko's guests, residents and tourists from the Shonan area came to see it. rice field. Gamelan is an ensemble that uses many large and small keyboard percussion instruments made from metals such as iron, copper, and tin, as well as bamboo, a natural material. That's it. As expected, Saeko's inn was too cramped, and Zaimokuza's Zen temple decided to free up the precincts. In Bali, we do it with about 20 people, but we narrowed it down and decided to have the minimum of 3 people do it. Even though it's late summer, Kamakura's evenings are still hot, but the three people from Bali look cool as they adjust the musical instruments lined up on the grounds of the temple grounds. Before the sunset, the audience gathered one after another with fans in one hand,
Sit in a circle to surround the gamelan corps. Saeko, Akane, and their neighbors, who asked for help, set up oil lamps here and there, following Bali's example. Zen temples are just like Ubud temples.
"It's summer, isn't it? It's almost sunset, it's finally starting."
A gong signaled the beginning as flames lifted people and trees.
New tones and rhythms are carved into this Zen temple, which is usually made up of bells and wooden fish. There is no rule in the pursuit of the root, and there is no method in the process. Both the lingering sound of a single hit and the wave motion of a series of hits stimulate the consciousness of the universe beyond. When she close her eyes, she is no longer in Kamakura or on earth, but beyond herself, in Brahma, where the roots surround her. Consciousness travels through dimensions as the performance progresses. When the sound fades and the eyes open, a new night in Kamakura begins.
