KADIN SAÇLARI'ndan yapılan HALAT-1

BELKİ DE ŞİMDİYE KADAR DUYMADIĞINIZ ve GÖRMEDİĞİNİZ BAZI RESİMLERİ burada paylaşacağım.

Japonya'nın KYOTO şehrinde bulunan Higashi-Hongan-ji Budist Mabedi'nin yapımı sırasında AĞAÇLARI ve TOMRUKLARI taşımak için KADIN SAÇLARINDAN HALAT yapmışlar. Bu HALATLARIN resmini bir daha hiçbir yerde göremeyebilirsiniz.

Hayatımda beni EN ÇOK ETKİLEYEN MABED YAPIM HİKAYELERİNDEN biri, KADIN SAÇLARINDAN YAPILMIŞ HALATLARIN bir mabedin inşası sırasında kullanılması ve bu halatların hala bir mabedde sergilenmesi idi.

ADI GEÇEN MABED HAKKINDA BAKINIZ

Higashi-Hongan-ji - 東本願寺 (built 1602, rebuilt 1895 onward)

Higashi Honganji is an active temple with a colorful history. Unlike Kyoto's mountain temples, which are mostly Zen, Higashi belongs to the more popular Pure Land sect. The essence of Pure Land doctrine is that salvation is possible by chanting "praise to the Amida Buddha" in a wholly sincere manner. Because of its doctrinal simplicity, Pure Land Buddhism has been the most popular the faith among the common people since the thirteenth century.

Nowadays there are several pure land branches, one of which is headquartered in the nearby Nishi Honganji temple. This is not a coincidence. In the early seventeenth century the Pure Land faith was so strong that the newly established Shogun, Togukawa Ieyesu, feared its influence. In order to limit its power he aggravated a doctrinal split in the Pure Land faith by donating land for the Higashi Honmaru temple in 1602. The two Pure Land temples in close proximity to each other effectively meant there were two headquarters for a single faith, an unstable situation that resolved itself when Higashi broke away from the orthodox sect. As the split crystallized, Nishi became the capital of the established Pure Land Buddhism, while Higashi evolved as headquarters of the schismatic faith.

None of Higashi's buildings are original. The site has suffered innumerable fires and the present structures date from 1895. However, the reconstruction in the Meiji era has left a number of interesting tidbits. Because ordinary rope available at the time could not lift the heavy timbers during construction, women devotees donated their hair to make stronger ropes. These did the job. One of these hair-coils is on permanent display in the corridor connecting the two main halls. Though dulled by age, it remains an interesting aside.

A garden from the early days of Higashi is still in use just across the street to the east. Built for the 13th abbot Sennyo in 1641 at the Shogun's blessing, this urban garden is now open to the public. Even today it is possible to walk across all the little pathways and bridges connecting the gardens paths, a treat not allowed at most sites.

Higashi-Hongan-ji Temple

The Higashi Honganji complex is the head temple of the Otani-ha branch of the Jodo Shinshu, ShinBuddhism, which is popularly known as Ohigashi-san. This was built on donated land, which the 12th abbot, Kyonyo, received from Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo period (1603-1868). While the Founder's Gate (Goei-do) is one of the three largest in Kyoto, the Founder's Hall (Goei-do) is one of the world's largest wooden structures, containing 927 tatami mats and the wooden image of Shinran Shonin, the founder of this denomination. Amida Hall (Amida-do), which is located next to it, is where Amida Buddha is enshrined. Both of these present Halls were rebuilt in 1895. Hair ropes, made from human hair mixed with hemp and used in that construction, were donated by parishioners from all over the country. One of these can be seen in Amida Hall. The renovation of the Founder's Hall (Goei-do) was completed in 2009. At present, Amida Hall (Amida-do) is enclosed by an outer covering in preparation for the forthcoming renovation, which commenced in 2012.

Shosei-en Garden is the detached garden of Higashi Honganji and was designated as a place of National Scenic Beauty in 1936. It is also called Kikoku-tei (the Trifoliate Orange Villa) as the site was originally surrounded by this particular variety of orange trees. This garden is said to have been built on the Heian-period (794-1185) site of the Rokujo Kawara-no-in Villa of Prince Minamoto no Toru, the son of Emperor Saga. In 1641, the 13th abbot, Sennyo, requested Ishikawa Jozan to create a garden on this land, which had been donated by the 3rd shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu. However, the various structures there were destroyed twice by fire in 1858 and 1864 and the present construction took place during the Meiji period (1868-1912). This garden is filled with many kinds of flowers throughout the year, and the colorful scenery is highly appreciated.
