Snapshot No. 780-784
784. Introduction of my area
A part of an advertising poster showing my area.
My place is at the point a bit left side from the photo center.
As in the photo, just ten-minute walk brings me to the so-called satoyama where the nature, well tended from the olden days, is abundant.
The river at the photo top is the waterway linking the Inba Marsha and Tokyo Bay. From there, we can go, through the bicycle road, to the Tone River by riding 20km to the right, and to the Tokyo Bay/Makuhari 20 km to the left.
Below is the terrain map spanning the Tone River and Tokyo Bay.
The red ^ in the map shows the place the above photo was taken.

783. A sira-sagi
At a nearby paddy field. Under the preparation for rice-seedling-plantings.
A white heron looks into the tractor's rear area.
Insects and frogs must be jumping out.
It completely neglects the engine noise and the whirling muddy water.
If asked, the heron will reply;
"If we mind such, we won't be able to survive."
782. Narita-san and Edo Uogasi Kou
Narita-san Sinshouji after a long while / Tablets dedicated to Koumyou-dou, once the temple's main hall
This large sword is, of course, for that of Fudou Myouou (Acalanatha).
The origin of this temple was not something like salvaging the souls, but solving an urgent problem, to put down the "Taira-no-Masakado's Revolt".
"Newly win", (Sin shou) temple. Thus Sinshouji.
As the words, "Dedication" and "Fish Market", are seen above and below the sword, this tablet was dedicated, in the Edo period, by the Edo Uogasi Kou (Fish Market Adherents' Association) (located at Nihonbasi, not at Tukiji).
The close-up of the left large tablet.
The background of the tablet dedication;
In the Edo period, the above mentioned asssociation dedicated a pair of rain barrel to the temple.
Lately the barrels got a crack, and the asssociation's successor, Tokyo Tukiji Fish Market, replaced them with new ones.
At this occasion, the tablet engraved with the advocates' names was dedicated to the temple.
The tablet is not made of wood, but of copper plate with etching.
781. An incurable habit
Seeing train running, I tend to direct camera lens to the cars.
No particular meaning in this shot.
780. Yama-zakura
Castle ruins square on Friday.
Somei-yosino around here look not so fine, in many cases.
While yama-zakura look fine as in the photo.
Most of them were planted in the 1960s and 1970s, and the lifespan of somei is 60 years, and yama-zakura 200 years. We now clearly see this liferspan difference.
