梅雨なので、紫陽花で有名な京都市宇治にある三室戸寺（mimurotoji、本山修験宗の別格本山、あじさい寺）と、来年の大河ドラマの予習もかねて源氏物語ミュージアム（THE TALE OF GENJI MUSEUM）へ。

そういえば、今は昔、古文の教科書に載っていた源氏物語の「若紫」に、源氏が若紫に手習いを教える場面で、若紫が「まだ、ようは書かず」（まだじょうずに書くことはできません）と話すくだりを読んで、友達がぼそっと「かわいい」と呟いたのを、思い出した。

いつか現代文に訳された本を読んでみたいが、長い物語なのでどうでしょうか。

お土産にミュージアム内にある日本茶カフェ「雲上茶寮」さんで、香皿とセットになったお香「夢の夢 《春眠の香》」と、源氏物語しおりセット6枚入りを購入。

“Mimurotoji Temple in Yamashiro Province: Number Ten on the Saigoku Pilgrimage Route” from the series “The Miracles of Kannon” (観音霊験記 Kannon Reigenki) by Utagawa Kunisada I (歌川国貞), 1858: depicting the temple layout above, below a scene from the tale of a farm girl from Yamashiro Province who saved a host of crabs from being eaten and was thereby punished by her father by being offered up to a (here anthropomorphic) snake, but whose sutra chanting and deep faith called forth the grateful crabs who attacked and killed the snake on her behalf
