I walked through the Tenryuji temple garden, and soon saw the beautiful bamboo forest. I love the straight tall bamboo figure.
The back of Tenryu-ji temple, there are bamboo gove.
Bomboos become a natural green tunnel.
They are tall, and cover the sky.

Mikami shrine of Sagano is only one shrine for hair in Japan.
In the Mikami shrine, many people visit to pray about their hair. I found some votive tablets (ema) such as “Please keep my hair !”.
Mikami means hair in Japanese.

Lovely!!
Thank you!
The scenery of Bamboo forest is awesome. In my eyes it could from another planet.
Bamboo is one of the plants that Japanese love, I guess. At Kamakura in Kanagawa prefecture, there is a temple that is called as “bamboo temple”.
Reblogged this on Simon Sundaraj-Keun.
Beautiful pictures, the hair temple is very interesting!
Thank you for your comment. In Japan, God, paper and hair are same pronunciation as “kami”, so God of hair seems like a joke “kami” of “kami”. (But writing is different, 神、紙、髪.）
That’s very interesting to know, like in Chinese death and fourteen sounds the same so it’s bad luck.
