Imamiya Jinja was founded in 994 to protect Kyoto from pestilence. Most of its current buildings are rebuilds dating to the Meiji period (1868-1912). This set of film photographs was taken there around New Year’s some years ago - a flea market was held on the premises at the time.
How gorgeous are these 'Japanese Anemones' flowers that caught my eye when out walking today.
Looking splendid in the sunshine, the flowers are a stunning blend of pastel pink leaves with soft white edges that surround a bright lime green centre with a ring of short, bright yellow stamen.
