アジサイ園へと、本堂の左にある階段を登る。ただでさえ細い階段は、左右から零れる花に挟まれ、なお狭い。
I climbed the stairs at the left side of the main hall to hydrangea garden. The
staircase was already narrow. In addition, it was sandwiched between
hydrangeas spilling out from both sides. Therefore, the space became too
narrow.
園の始まりは、現住職が１９７１年に入寺した際、境内に鬱蒼と茂っていた雑草を刈り、十株ほど植えたことによる。その後、毎年挿し木を繰り返し、今では数百株に至っている。種類が多岐に渡るのは、紫陽花に熱心に愛情を注ぐ住職を見た方が、こんな珍しいものもあると、あちこちから持ち寄ってくれたことによるそうである。
多数のクマンバチも、紫陽花に誘われて飛び交っていた。
The beginning of hydrangea garden was that the current chief priest cut the
thick weeds that had grown in the temple grounds and planted about ten
hydrangeas when he entered the temple. Then, he repeated the cuttings every year. Now, hundreds of hydrangeas are blooming in the garden. The reason of many kinds of hydrangeas is that some visitors who watched the priest’s love
for hydrangeas brought rare species from here and there for him.
Many carpenter bees were flying as they were induced by the fragrance of the
flowers.

最上部の展望台からは、アジサイ園全体とその先にある江の浦湾を眺めることができる。ベンチも設置されているので、絶景を眺めながらゆったりとしたひと時を過ごせるだろう。

At the top of the observatory, we can see the entire hydrangea garden and
“Enoura Gulf” too. As some benches were installed, everybody would pass the slow and calm time with looking at the nice view.
大日堂参道を降りていくと、途中、様々な姿を彫刻した三十三人の観音像の並ぶ庭がある。どんな気分を表しているのかと、一つづつ観察してみるのも面白い。紫陽花の子株も幾つか植えてあり、ここからも江の浦湾の眺望が開けている。
On the way to go down “Dinitidou Sandou (the approaching stairs for Dainishido Hall)”, there were a garden where thirty-three Kannon statues carved in various poses were arranged. It may be fun that you observe them with considering
what kind of feeling they represent. Some child stocks of hydrangeas were
planted in the garden. In addition, we can enjoy the view of Enoura Gulf from
here too.
人よりも遥かに長い生命の樹木には、たまに嫉妬を感じることがある。この大楠は、樹齢500年以上になるそうである。と言うことは、それだけ江の浦周辺の全ての歴史的変遷を観察し、木肌で実感してきたことになる。この太い幹は、人間本位の時代の変化をどのように感じているのだろうか。…手を触れてみると、樹皮は温い。

Sometimes, I feel envy to the tree because of their lifespan much longer than
human. This large camphor tree have lived over 500 years. So, it continues to
observe and feel all historical transition of Enoura Gulf through the skin. How
does this thick trunk think about the change of the times by human egoism?
When I touched the skin of the tree, it’s warm.
山門脇の駐車場の周囲は、いわゆる墨蹟作品の展示場である。大小、無数の傑作が壁を覆っている。

Around the parking lot next to the temple gate, so-called “Bokuseki Works” by

covered all the wall.
