#wisteria ふじ

[kyotodreamtrips]

The Sandai Shrine is famous for its beautiful old wisteria, called "Sunabizuri no Wisteria" (Sand-rubbed Wisteria) because the spikes grow so long that they rub against the ground. The trees are about 450 years old.

もうすぐゴールデンウィークになります。天気が悪くなりそうと思っていたんですけど、なんとか天気はもちそうな感じです。

今年は梅雨も早くなるみたいですね。確かにこんなに暑くなるのがはやくなってきたら納得はいくんですけど、だらだら梅雨が長引くのは避けて欲しいですね。

私もゴールデンウィークの予定がやっと一つ入ったんですけど、子供たちの付き添いの予定がメインなので、はたして私はゆっくりできるのだろうか？

天気が悪くなると写真を撮りに行く気持ちがやっぱり起こりにくいんですよね。写真は柔らかくなるんですけど、カチッと感がない。

今は加工でなんとでもなっちゃうんですけど、それって何か違わない？って思うんで私はほとんどいじらないんです。まぁ、軽い調整くらいはするんですけど。

調整と加工は違います。ちなみに演出とやらせも違います。

Today, a faded nameplate that is very difficult to read, though the characters are both very easy! I actually had to ask for help on the second one and was embarrassed once I learned what the name was. Can you make it out?

内藤 is read Naitō, or very, very rarely Naito, Natō, or Uchifuji.

内 is read うち, ナイ, or ダイ. It means inside, within, between, among, or house/home. Remember the opposite pair 内・外 [うち・そと or ナイ・ガイ] in/out.

藤 is read ふじ, トウ, or ドウ. It means wisteria. It shows up quite often in surnames.

Top 5 Flowers!

Ooh yay flowers! I admit I don't know a lot of them but I certainly have a few favourites :3

5: Chrysanthemum! (particularly the ones with loads of rows and like when you get the petals at the back getting kinda scraggly and turned around and rough looking ;p)

4: Lily of the Valley!

3: Spider lillies!

2: Water lillies! (Yuri sweep!)

1: Wisteria!! (Though I always forget the English name and have to look it up by searching 'ふじ' into an online dictionary lol)

Simplicity #160: Wisterias / Existence and Time

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

Organic or inorganic

Everything on earth is governed by

The law of constant change.

Birth/ growth/ decline and disappearance.

These wisteria flowers also follow the rule

As they are now in the process

Of declining…and returning to the earth.

Yet something unchanging exist in them.

A wise says: It cannot transform into other

Creatures, say, animals such as fish or dog.

A wisteria cannot turn into a sunflower

An amaryllis cannot be a cherry blossom.

Some elements, he continues, within

The constant change does not change:

There is something that always

Makes a flower a flower, a fish a fish.

This can be called ‘Real existence’ in Buddhism

Or ‘Idea’ in Plato of Athen

Spiritual Existence in heavenly world.

reading demon slayer: chapter 4 name breakdown

in chapter 4, there are just 2 names that i thought were worth diving into. the first is not a proper name but a title.

when explaining the history of demons and demon slayers to tanjirou, urokodaki calls himself a

育手

the reading given for this word is そだて. 育 (そだ) shows up in many words and carries a meaning of raising or rearing something. for example, it is used in the verb 育てる, which means to raise, to rear, to bring up AND to train, to teach, to educate AND to promote the growth of, to nurture, to foster, to develop.

手 (て) is a very common kanji that typically means hand or arm. when used as a suffix, though, its meaning changes. in 育手 the 手 is similar to the english suffixes -er and -ist.

from this we can conclude that 育手 means something like teacher, trainer, one who raises. and indeed in the official english 育手 is translated as trainer. however, i think there's another aspect to this title that the english does not capture.

since 手 does also mean hand, you could interpret 育手 as having a more intimate meaning. instead of a simple trainer, urokodaki is hand raising his disciples. he becomes a father figure to them as he nurtures them and fosters the development of their skills. is that a bit of a stretch? maybe. but given how deeply urokodaki cares for his students, i think it's fitting.

the second name is the name of the place where urokodaki says final selection will be held. it is called

藤襲山

which is pronounced ふじかさねやま. 藤 (ふじ) is wisteria. 襲 (かさね) with that particular reading means pile, heap, layers. more specifically, 襲 can refer to the layers of clothing worn under an overcoat, or to the combination of colors created by layering garments. those two meanings give the name a more cozy and aesthetic feeling, in my opinion. and 山 (やま) is, of course, mountain. all together that gives us Wisteria Heap Mountain or Mountain of Layers of Wisteria. the official english just has it as Mount Fujikasane. again, unimaginative, but i suppose it gets the point across.

and that concludes the second name breakdown for demon slayer! i hope this was insightful or at least interesting. i'm glad there were only 2 names this time because i feel like i got to go more in depth with them. anyway, thanks for reading, and please look forward to the next post! 読んでくれてありがとう！

#藤　の季節ですね。 しかし、例年より開花の時期が早いと思います。大体ゴールデンウィークぐらいに開花していたと思います。 今年は暖かい日がかなり続いているからだと思います。 　ところで この藤を管理されている方とお話しする機会がありました。この藤は古木だそうです。 たしかに幹を見るとずいぶん削れていました。 木も人もそうですが、年老いて行くとその人が心の中で満たされていた物事、、、人生がそのままの形で現れている気がします。 わかりやすいので言いますと笑顔が大き方は笑い皺が多かったり、いつも険しい人は眉間に皺が出たり。他にも毎日外で作業して焼けている人はその分の皺が出るそんな感じです。 この古木はとても美しい花を咲かせる花です。いつも手入れしてもらい愛情を注がれている証拠ではないかと思います。（勝手な想像ですが♪） 春はいい！！ . . . . . . . . . . . #Wisteria #ふじのはな #春 #spring https://www.instagram.com/p/CNjBApzgNpe/?igshid=1niadiuuqvtku

[daily-hyosatsu]

Since I have wisteria on the brain, today's surname is 藤間, read Fujima or Tōma. It belongs to about 10,700 people nationwide.

藤 is read ふじ, トウ, or ドウ. It means wisteria, of course!

間 is a kanji we've touched on but never properly covered. It means interval (of time) or (physical) space. It's read あいだ, ま, あい, カン, or ケン (though that last one is kinda rare). The radicals are 門 gate with 日 day/sun inside.

Kanzashi Gatsu - 8th April - Wisteria 「かんざ四月」- 四月八日 - 藤

It’s been ages since I last made wisteria, so it was a highest time to make a new version! This is inspired by the maiko kanzashi, but in a smaller scale.
