Omihachiman -CHIEKO SHIRAISHI

Hachiman-bori Moat in Omihachiman is renowned for its picturesque setting, which is surrounded by lush greenery and historic landmarks. The reflections of the surrounding buildings and trees on the moat's surface create a serene and captivating atmosphere, especially during the cherry blossom season.

Azuchi Castle, the residence of the famous warlord Oda Nobunaga (1534-1582), was constructed over three years from 1576. Located on Mount Azuchi (199-meter elevation) in Omihachiman City, Shiga Prefecture, the ruins are now a nationally designated special historic site. Photography by けいしろ/星配り @keishirooooon

The pilgrims’ hymn for Chōmeiji Temple (長命寺) in Ōmihachiman, Shiga Prefecture, from a hymnal for the thirty-three temples of the western pilgrimage circuit dedicated to Kannon Bodhisattva (観音菩薩)

My own rough, tentative translation follows:

Number Thirty-One: Ikiyasan Chōmeiji Temple (Tendai School) in Gamou District, Ōmi Province

Chōmeiji Neighborhood, Ōmihachiman City, Shiga Prefecture

A hymn for Thousand-Armed Kannon, Eleven-Faced Kannon, and Holy Kannon, three enshrined deities as one:

Let’s carry along Branches of willow alive For eight thousand years As we make our pilgrimage To this temple of long life
