Kasuga Taisha Sunazurino-Fuji

Sunazurino-Fuji of Kasuga Taisha has a wisteria trellis in the center of the Kasuga Taisha
precincts of a temple -- the wisteria's tip of an ear -- the ground -- a pickpocket -- from the place extended,
so that that is right It seems that it came to be called Sunazurino-Fuji.

Sunazurino-Fuji of Kasuga Taisha is wisteria's old tree said more than age-of-a-tree 700 year. It is said that wisteria's flower grew wild in the Kasuga Taisha precincts of a temple more from ancient times from the first. That Kasuga Taisha itself was founded is the shrine which Fujiwara Nagate which was the Minister of the Left of those days built in response to Emperor Shotoku's wish in 768 with Heijokyo of that time. Kasuga Taisha is supposed that it also had the meaning as a guardian deity of Heijokyo. From that time, Mr. Fujiwara who is a man of power of those days was very much pleased with wisteria's flower which is said to have grown wild in the precincts of a temple, and it has been valued. I can hear also from the crest of Kasuga Taisha treating wisteria about it. Among these, wisteria famous as Sunazurino-Fuji of Kasuga Taisha is wisteria's old tree currently planted in front of the precincts of a temple Naoraiden, and is said to set the length of a flower cluster to 1m or more. It seems that it is supposed that the SekkanKonoe house which belongs to the Fujiwara north house Konoe school which is the posterity of Michinaga Fujiwara of those days used to offer this wisteria. It is said that Sunazurino-Fuji is wisteria derived from the Noda wisteria system. Moreover, it will be SaionjiKimihira and a Fujiwara family that it is a basis said to be age-of-a-tree 700 years of this Sunazurino-Fuji in 1309 of the Kamakura period,It seems that it is a picture scroll called Kasugagongenkie which TakasinaTakakane and others created and dedicated, and is called more than the age-of-a-tree 700 year from the place where Sunazurino-Fuji has appeared in this picture scroll. Since it is a time of merely appearing in a picture scroll and is already a large translation, it may be a thing about or from ancient times in fact. 20-sort wisteria's flower said 200 is in bloom in Sinen (10,000 leaf botanical garden) which did not go to Kasuga Taisha this time besides the flower of wisteria of the precincts of a temple, wisteria of the horticulture kind called wisteria of early bloom and YaeKokuryu etc. has, and it is famous also here.
