京都の円山公園にある「祇園枝垂れ桜」は、その優美な姿から「祇園の夜桜」として全国的に知られる、京都を代表する桜の木です。その歴史は、現在の木が2代目であることからも、古くから人々に愛されてきたことがわかります。 祇園枝垂れ桜の歴史 初代の桜: 初代の祇園枝垂れ桜は、江戸時代から円山公園(当時は八坂神社の境内の一部)にあった「宝寿院」という坊舎に植えられていた名木でした。 明治時代初期の廃仏毀釈の際、伐採の危機に瀕しましたが、実業家の明石博高が五両で買い取り、命拾いしたという逸話が残っています。 初代の桜は、明治から昭和初期にかけて円山公園のシンボルとして親しまれ、その美しさは多くの人々に愛されました。 樹齢約220年といわれる大木でしたが、昭和22年(1947年)に枯死してしまいました。昭和13年には天然記念物にも指定されていました。 2代目の桜: 現在の祇園枝垂れ桜は2代目にあたります。 昭和3年(1928年)に、有名な「桜守」である15代佐野藤右衛門氏が、初代の桜から種子を採取し、丹精込めて育てたものです。 その後、佐野氏から寄贈され、昭和24年(1949年)に現在の円山公園の場所に植栽されました。 正式名称は「一重白彼岸枝垂桜(ひとえしろひがんしだれざくら)」といい、エドヒガン(江戸彼岸)の枝垂性品種です。 戦後の混乱期を経て、この2代目の桜が徐々に成長し、再び京都を代表する桜として、多くの人々に親しまれるようになりました。 現在の姿と周辺の桜: 2代目の祇園枝垂れ桜も樹齢80年を超え、高さ約12メートル、幅約10メートルという堂々たる姿を見せています。 一時期、樹勢が衰えたこともありましたが、近年は再び美しい景観を見せています。 周囲には、この2代目の桜の子桜たちが植えられており、それらが成長することで、一層見事な桜の風景を創り出しています。これらの子桜の中には、祇園枝垂れ桜とは花の色が異なるものもあります。 このように、祇園枝垂れ桜は、江戸時代から続く歴史と、人々の桜への深い愛情によって、その命が脈々と受け継がれてきた特別な桜と言えるでしょう。夜桜のライトアップも有名で、幻想的...

Beautiful but fenced ,so you can’t get so close. That’s not the only weeping cherry tree if you walk in the Maruyama Park but it’s the only one there where you have more weeping cherry trees together and when it all blossom together,it’s beautiful and free. Visited on March...

Unless you come here when it's blooming in the spring it's just a tree. I'm sure their is local historical significance to it but I could not tell from the markers and signs. The area is interesting and this is just one stop on the free Kyoto...

コロナ明ける前は割と人出が少なかったが今は朝6時過ぎに行っても割と人がいますね。まぁ一大観光地なので仕方がないですが。

The tree looks absolutely beautiful during spring time. The lighting is stunning at night and there are food vendors. Sadly, I came during winter so there were no cherry blossoms.
