遠照寺
伊那市高遠の遠照寺に出かけた.遠照寺はぼたん寺と言われている.途中の“道の駅”ですぐ近くに中央構造線を間近で見ることができる溝口露頭があることを知った主人らは最初に露頭を訪れた.溝口露頭は秋葉街道から少し川よりにあった.秋葉街道と言えばその昔南北朝時代には後醍醐天皇の皇子宗良親王(むねながしんのう/むねよししんのう)が南朝の征夷大将軍として北朝勢力との戦いに奔走した道である.
遠照寺の境内には約2000株の牡丹があるという.参拝所のおばさんが三脚とカメラを携えた主人に「あいにくと今日は風が強くて写真には向かないね.今年は例年より早く咲き始めて見頃が少し過ぎた」と言った.確かに見頃を過ぎた牡丹は多かったが、それでも見応えはあった.(5/18)
Onsho temple (May 18)
My masters went to Onsho temple in Takato. Onsho temple is known as the peony temple. On the way to the temple, they dropped in at the Roadside Station and knew that there was the Mizoguchi Outcrop close near. So, they drove Akiba Highway to see the Median Tectonic Line at first. Speaking of Akiba Highway, during Nanbokucho period of Japan (1336-1392), Munenagashinnou (Prince of the Emperor Godaigo) went along this Highway by a fight with the power in the Northern Court, as a commander-in-chief of the expeditionary (Seii Taishogun).
Then they visited Onsho temple. In the precincts of the temple, it is said that there are about 2,000 peonies. When a woman of the worship place watched my master, who had a tripod and cameras, she said to him that wind was so strong to take photos and that the best season for viewing was passing. My masters walked around the garden. Although most of flowers were past in full bloom, they were very satisfied on finding beautiful flowers .
