Nejiro Sanchome Park - Hachinohe

The flowers were blooming beautifully.

Thanks to the people in the neighborhood getting clean or trash bins being cleaned It is a pity that the ashtray in the park has been removed, but an ashtray has been installed in a nearby public hall.

It was in good condition. It was suitable for the living environment and easy to use.

I remember more than 60 years ago, so there are some uncertainties, but I feel that this park was now the garden of Soto Sect Ryugenji, which separates the road, before the area was reorganized. Two old ginkgo trees, old-fashioned garden trees, wisteria trellis, and flower beds with three-dimensional azaleas are not created by designing a new park on a vacant lot. Regardless of its origin, it is a park that has a scent of fragrance but is kept clean. PS, I found 99% evidence of the temple garden. I couldn't tell by just looking at it at first, but I found a wig tree, which is the source of the scent, in a corner that smells like scent. Speaking of Shidare Katsura, Takigenji (the same reading of Ryugenji! The same as the denomination Soto sect) is the originator (nationally designated natural monument). It is said that. It seems that cuttings were not easy, but recently they have been grown on grafts. There is such a story about Shidare Katsura. When the wig leaves die, they smell good, so at Takigenji, a small priest climbed a tree and collected fresh leaves to make incense. Originally, all branches of a wig grow upward. At one point, a small priest fell from the tree to collect leaves and was injured. You cannot climb a tree if you are injured. The little priest asked Shaka to pick up the leaves without climbing the tree, but when he saw the wig tree the next morning, all the branches were weeping. Since then, Shidare Katsura has been a temple tree.
