Deleteこんばんは。きれいな菊ですね。香りまで伝わってきました。
ReplyDeleteMerry Witch 様 こんばんは。菊人形などは作らず、ひとひねりしてある事が伝わって来ました。
DeleteI've been here! It's an awesome old pine.
ReplyDeleteThere are many chrysanthemum exhibitions at shrines now. I saw an exhibition at Hikawa Jinja, too. ^^
PS: Look! There's Sky Tree! ^^
Dear Rurousha. Truely you are more than a Japanese.Yes,I took the photo, because I could see Sky tree.

素晴らしい松ですね。京都の善峰寺の「遊龍の松」を思いだしました。菊を使ったアートからは香りが漂ってくるようです。子供たちが子供のころまでは、秋といえば大菊人形展でしたが、最近は菊人形はあまり見られませんね。
ReplyDeletestardust 様 こんばんは。遊龍の松も素晴らしいですね。この松は以前、香川県の岡野の松と優劣を争っていました。その時、立行司の木村庄之助の裁きで双方引き分けという事になり東の横綱の松となっていました。
Deleteその後岡野の松は枯れてしまいましたが、東日本一の松となっています。
この寺の住職の希望で菊人形等はかｚらず独自の菊をかざっているそうです。
「影向の松」は東京都の指定天然記念物だけに、横への広がり具合が立派ですね。
ReplyDelete菊祭りでは、やはり最後のハートと「心」の文字にうたれます。人形や動物に菊を
貼り付ける菊人形に比べると、はるかに独創的で、芸術的ですね。善養寺の菊祭りは来年のためにメモしておきます。
世空旅心様 こんばんは。この松は去年から国の天然記念物に指定されたそうです。
ReplyDelete私も最後の菊が心という文字を表現しているので感心しました。 やはり良いものは技術プラスアイデアですね。
Both you and Rurousha have a post on the chrysanthemum! :)
ReplyDeleteDear lina. Thank you very much for your comment.
DeleteThink of the history that the ancient pine tree must have lived through! What an amazing sight, with all the supporting posts to help its branches spread over such a wide area! The chrysanthemum arrangements are really creative and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDear Pat. Thank you very much. I feel happy that you like my post very much.
DeleteWhat a wonderful post. Loved the Temple and the Pine tree. The flower arrangements are very pretty and colorful too. Have a lovely day :)
ReplyDeleteDear Arti. Thank you very much for your comment.
DeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteThe pine tree is awesome!
Hope you had a great weekend and wishing you a lovely week ahead!
Dear geetlee. Thank you very much for your comment.
Delete私が小さい時、近所の家、家の門前にみごとな菊の鉢がいくつも飾られていました。そんな時代は、少しずつ消えていってるようです。そちらの菊は、あまりみごとなので、みとれてしまいます。さぞいい香りなんでしょうね。
ReplyDeletesarah 様 こんばんは。 こちらの菊祭りは規模は小さいのですが、なるべくユニークなものを展示しようと心がけているようでとても面白かったです。
Delete菊の美しさに見とれていました。香りもとても良かったです。
I love mums! They are so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteDear Nancy. Thank you. I feel happy you like mums.
DeleteOh my, goodness, Minoru, I have never seen such a magnificent tree. And to think it is this old. It is just amazing, and thank you so much for sharing it here.
