The Centurions of Brampton Road in Cumbria left safety to find out what was making that strange gurgling noise, and never returned. Two thousand years later, it's said on dark, foggy nights, you can hear the sound of Roman soldiers marching, looking for home. #PhantomsFriday

Have a nice weekend 😽 🤍

I select Derek Suárez as my valentine! 🏈 🏀

Since Edo times people have anticipated the mating song of the uguisu, 🎵"ho-hokekyō"🎶 (法-法華経), as it indicates that spring has arrived. 'Ume-ni-uguisu' (梅にうぐいす 'bush warbler and plum blossoms') is a common motif in Japanese art & has the meaning "match made in heaven".

Uguisu-mochi (うぐいす餅) is made by wrapping 'gyūhi' (求肥), a dough of kneaded rice flour and sugar, around bean paste. The sweet was originally finished with a dusting of tea powder, but nowadays a green soy bean powder is used (or mugwort is added to the gyūhi). #亀屋重久

At this time of year two birds seem to suddenly appear with the arrival of the plum blossoms. Often confused, the 'uguisu' (鶯 'bush warbler') is the plainer. The small, bright green birds are called 'mejiro' (目白 'warbling white-eye').

Rōbai (蠟梅) may feature the character for 'plum' (梅), but it doesn't belong to the plum family. The plant's flowers, branches and fragrance so closely resemble the Japanese plum* that it was given the character '梅'. *In reality 'ume/梅' are more closely related to apricots!🤷‍♂️

9) September (九月) = Nagatsuki (長月 'The Long Month') 10) October (十月) = Kannazuki or Kaminazuki (神無月 'Month of the Gods') 11) November (十一月) = Shimotsuki (霜月 'Month of Frost') 12) December (十二月) = Shiwasu (師走 'Priests Running') #Japan #Kyoto #traditionalcalendar

5) May (五月) = Satsuki (皐月/Sanaetsuki 早苗月 'Early-Rice-Planting Month') 6) June (六月) = Minazuki (水無月 'Month of Water') 7) July (七月) = Fumizuki (文月 'Month of Erudition') 8) August (八月) = Hazuki (葉月 'Month of Leaves'/Haochizuki 葉落ち月 'Month of Falling Leaves')

📆THE TRADITIONAL CALENDAR🤔 1) January (一月) = Mutsuki (睦月 'Month of Affection') 2) February (二月) = Kisaragi (如月/aka Kinusaragi 衣更着 'Changing Clothes') 3) March (三月) = Yayoi (弥生 'New Life') 4) April (四月) = Uzuki (卯月 'Month of Unohana', a type of deutzia flower)

Rōbai can be written with the characters '臘梅' (12th month) or '蠟梅' (wax plum). '臘' or 'rō' was the name given to the 12th month in the lunar calendar, which now corresponds to February (when wintersweet is in bloom). #臘梅 #蠟梅 #waxplum #wintersweet

Taizō-in (退蔵院), the oldest of Myōshin-ji’s sub-temples, is on my way to work. I never miss the chance to visit in the snow. 'Yokō-en' (余香苑), the 'Garden of Lingering Fragrance', was created by the famed landscaper Nakane Kinsaku (中根金作 1917-95). #退蔵院 #Taizoin

Rōbai is one of the 'Four Friends of the Snow' (雪中四友 'Setchū-no-shiyū'), 4 plants (including plum, camellia and narcissus) that flower in the snow. Known as wintersweet in English, rōbai were introduced to Japan from China in the 17thC. They are not related to the Japanese plum.

💛WAXING WINTER💛 Around the lunar New Year guests are served 'rōbai' (蝋梅), named after the fragrant 'yellow wax plum' which blooms at this time of year. As the name suggests, the beehive-yellow blossoms look as if they have been carefully crafted from wax. #Kyoto #Japan #wagashi
