鎌倉ツアーレポート Feb. 13th, 2016 Kamakura Tour
Taking a break over a cup of amazake or sweet fermented rice drink.
甘酒で一息ついてます。ふぅ。
The plum trees are in bloom at Kenchoji Temple too. It’s so warm today. Spring has come!?
建長寺の梅も綺麗に咲いてます！ポカポカ陽気です！
Finally, lunch time! Korila san shouts he’s starving!
Shonan kettle-cooked shirasu, whitebait rice bowl for lunch! Welcome to Kamakura!
もうお腹空いて倒れそう！と叫ぶコリラさん。いい子にしていないとご飯をあげませんよ！と叱るトリさん。静かに見守る優しいとんかつちゃん。隅っこにいたがる性格です。
お昼は、湘南のしらす丼。とんかつじゃないからね。
Had to have this “hato sable” or pigeon shaped butter cookie at Kamakura! Please don’t eat your travel buddy!
ｼｬｸｼｬｸｼｬｸｼｬｸｼｬｸｼｬｸ
鎌倉に来たら鳩サブレーを食べなきゃね！コリラさんはスイーツ大好き。とんかつも大好き？
Taking a quick break.
“The Azuma Kagami says that “In April 1182 Minamoto no Yoritomo told monk Senkō and Ōba Kageyoshi to have two ponds dug within the shrine.” According to another version of the story, it was Yoritomo’s wife Masako who, to pray for the prosperity of the Minamoto family, had these ponds dug, and had white lotuses planted in the east one and red ones in the west one, colors which are those of the Taira and Minamoto clans. From this derives their name. The red of those lotuses is supposed to stand for the spilled blood of the Taira.”

ちょっと休憩。
「鶴岡八幡宮の三ノ鳥居をくぐるとすぐ左右に源平池があり、中央には石の太鼓橋が架っている。太鼓橋をはさんで東側の源氏池には産を意味する三つの島、西側の平家池には死を意味する四つの島が配されている。夏には紅白のハスが花開く。」
