[Orihime Wisteria/Tochigi Prefecture] Wisteria in full bloom at Ashikaga Orihime Shrine

"Orihime's Wisteria" in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 Two wisteria trellises in the grounds of Ashikaga Orihime Shrine. The wisteria trellis with chairs and tables has very deep flowers and long flower clusters. On the other hand, the wisteria trellis donated by Ashikaga Flower Park is quite tall and has pale purple flowers. This is called "Orihime's Wisteria". The deities enshrined at Ashikaga Orihime Shrine are the god of weaving and the weaver god. The shrine is known as a place of matchmaking because warp and weft threads are woven together to create textiles. And the pine and wisteria are likened to each other, with the pine tree with its firm roots and the wisteria entwined around it helping each other. It would be a wonderful time to pray for a good relationship while admiring the beautiful wisteria. The shrine building seen through the wisteria flowers is also wonderful. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Ashikaga Orihime Shrine ꕥAddress: 3889 Nishimiya-cho, Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture ꕥAccess: 🚉Ashikaga City Station → About 20 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #AshikagaOrihimeShrine #MatchmakingShrine #Wisteria #WisteriaFlowers
