👣🗾SCATTERING EARTH🤏⛰️
For 25 years Kurita Kōichi (栗田宏一) has walked the length and breadth of Japan, gathering small samples of soil from each settlement (whether hamlet, village, town or city) he passes through.
At Hōnen-in (法然院) he made a dedication of his life's work.
For 25 years Kurita Kōichi (栗田宏一) has walked the length and breadth of Japan, gathering small samples of soil from each settlement (whether hamlet, village, town or city) he passes through.
At Hōnen-in (法然院) he made a dedication of his life's work.
Kurita's dedication was inspired by the temple's 'sange' (散華), a ritual offering of flowers made early each morning. 25 flowers (usually camellia) are dedicated to a statue of Amida. The flowers represent the 25 bodhisattva who help Amida take the souls of the dead to paradise.
Hōnen-in is no stranger to using earth and sand as a form of offering.
Upon entering the temple visitors pass through the 'Byakusadan' (白砂壇), 2 terraces of white sand (roughly 7m long, 3m wide and 10cm high).
Said to symbolize water, the sand purifies the body and soul.

Wibbly-wobbly warabimochi (わらび餅)☺️
A popular summer snack in Kansai, the melt-in-your-mouth warabimochi is a jelly-like sweet traditionally made from bracken starch (わらび粉 'warabiko').
It's covered with sweet, toasted soybean flour (黄粉).

It's covered with sweet, toasted soybean flour (黄粉).
There is a legend that Emperor Daigo (醍醐天皇 885-930) loved a particular type of warabimochi so much that he bestowed on it the rank of 'dayū' (大夫 -5th court rank). Over time 'Oka-tayū' (岡大夫) came to be used for warabimochi in general.

Asukai-no-Masatsune (飛鳥井雅経 1170-1221) was founder of the Asukai school of kemari.
A skilled poet (134 of his poems appeared in imperial anthologies), he served in the 'Poetry Bureau' (和歌所), helped compile the 'Shin Kokin Wakashū', and authored 'Kemari Ryakki' (蹴鞠略記).

Long before Shiramine-jingū, the principle shrine to occupy this land belonged to the 'god of sports' (精大明神). It was paid for by the retired Emperor Go-Toba (後鳥羽上皇 1180-1239) when he visited the mansion of the Asukai (繁乃井殿 'Shigenoi-dono') for a religious festival.
Go-Toba constructed the shrine beside the 'Shige-no-i' (繁乃井), 1 of 7 famed wells in the capital during the Heian period.
Because of its connection to the Asukai clan & Fujiwara-no-Narimichi (藤原成通 1097-1162), the shrine eventually became home to 'Sei Daimyōjin' (精大明神).

🦴😇GUARDIANS OF THE DEAD🗿🕯️
In 1903 the head priest of Nenbutsu-ji (念仏寺) and neighbouring Fukuden-ji (福田寺) began to gather up stone Buddhist statues from all around the local area.
By the time he was finished they numbered 8000!

From ancient times the poor (and not so poor) abandoned the dead in Adashino (化野), an area that now equates with the stretch of land between Nison-in (二尊院) & Nenbutsu-ji (念仏寺).
By the Heian period it had become 1 of Heian-kyō's 3 Great Crematory Grounds (三大葬地).

🌸FOOD FOR THE EQUINOX🍂
Food plays an important roll at Higan (彼岸).
On the first and last day of the equinoctial week, rice dumplings (団子 'dango') are offered at the family altar. Rice cakes covered in bean jam (botamochi in spring and ohagi in fall) are presented mid-week.

Botamochi and ohagi are popular during the equinoctial weeks, when they are made as sacred offerings & enjoyed as tasty snacks.
Glutinous rice is soaked, cooked and formed into a ball. Around this ball a thick sweet bean paste is packed on.

Quelques mots sur cet article d'Isaac Joseph dans @RevueTerrain en 1984, fulgurant (5.5 pages très denses), étonnant, très actuel - et doublé d'un entretien familial fictif! 💫✨

IJ place son propos d'emblée au croisement entre l’École de Chicago et le pragmatisme (présent alors à Chicago à travers Dewey, Mead, etc.): "L’ethnicité, c’est l’incertitude comme mode de vie"

Notamment à partir du cadre simmelien, qui a ouvert la voie pour une "pensée de l’urbain qui le définit par ses troubles: troubles individuels dus à l’intensification de la vie nerveuse et troubles collectifs liés au déracinement et aux proximités contagieuses et séditieuses"

Car "La mission principale d'une phrase de prose narrative est de mener à la suivante - de faire que l'histoire progresse. Mouvement de l'avant, allure, rythme (...) la première façon de ressentir et contrôler le rythme de sa prose est de l'entendre - et pour cela de l'écouter"

@LionsRoar editor @MelvinMcLeodSun, in an otherwise moving editorial, commits serious Pure Land Erasure: he mislables the famous #haiku master Issa as a "Zen master."
Issa, as is well known, was a Jodo Shinshu monk. #AAPI #BuddhistStudies #Buddhism

McLeod is actually getting his misinformation from Zen teacher @John_Tarrant, who in the same issue mislables Issa as a "Zen poet."
Which points to the larger nature of the issue.

What we have here is a serious problem. It's not just about a leading Buddhist magazine completely mislabeling one of the most famous historical Buddhists.
It's an indicator of the Pure Land Deficiency Syndrome that plagues @LionsRoar @tricyclemag @buddhadharma and their ilk.

In fish fragrant sauce.
The poem may be iffy... the eggplant is divine 😌

#OnThisDay in 1673, Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet were canoeing across Wisconsin in search of the Mississippi river. Since we can't afford canoes, my brothers and I are commemorating their achievement by hiking the Fox River Valley, Neenah to Green Bay. #ValleyTrek

1/ A year ago this month, I was hospitalized with #covid19 at @nyulangone for 17 days, including 6 on a ventilator.
Today I returned to give blood for a research study I’m participating in, run out of the #Vaccine Center.

1/ If you are wondering the deal with flood of #haiku on my timeline.
Bonus credit for CS/EE students to learn different form of poetry on the night before their final exam and tweet it.
Poetry, especially #Haiku is like a balm for the soul.
Some really refreshing pieces

Self Pity.
A dusty path,
But there are cleaner routes,
Yet, you chose to be soiled with earth,
Standing mocked before elites,
Your confidence muffled by a swathe of flies,
Your nose piling up unused water that dripped down your jaw.
You chose to be robbed of choice.

Ambiguity
The mother of errors,
Always unknown,
Muddling right in a wrongful way,
Pointing evil in an unstoppable direction,
It never meant harm,
But brings blood to the table,
How did it nestle all alone?
Waving to no-one in motion?
