A pond in Nara Park in the center of Nara City. Located on the south side of Sanjo Street Suberizaka, this small pond is about 360 meters in circumference and was created as Kofuku-ji Temple's Hojo Pond, modeled after the Monkey Pond in India. The willows along the pond's banks and the pond's surface reflecting the five-story pagoda of Kofuku-ji Temple are very picturesque, and the "Moon over Sarusawa Pond" was selected as one of the Eight Views of Nara. On the northwest bank is Uneme Shrine, and on the east bank is Kinukake willow. The Tale of Yamato tells us that a court lady who served Emperor Heizei threw herself into the pond, lamenting her fading popularity. The Uneme Festival is held in mid-autumn in September. [Ichiro Kikuchi] This is an artificial pond built as a release pond for Kofuku-ji Temple. It is one of the most famous scenic spots in Nara Park and also a place of relaxation for the citizens. "The Moon over Sarusawa Pond" is one of the Eight Views of Nara.

奈良市中央部の奈良公園内の池。三条通り辷坂(すべりざか)南側にあり、周囲約360メートルの小さな池で、興福寺の放生(ほうじょう)池としてインドの獼猴(びこう)池に擬してつくられた。池畔のヤナギ、興福寺の五重塔を映した池面などは風情があり、「猿沢池の月」は奈良八景の一つとされた。北西畔に采女(うねめ)神社、東畔に衣掛(きぬかけ)柳がある。『大和(やまと)物語』に平城(へいぜい)天皇に仕えた采女が寵(ちょう)の衰えたのを嘆き、この池に身を投じたとある。9月中秋に采女祭が催される。 [菊地一郎] 興福寺の放生池として築造された人工の池。奈良公園の代表的な名勝地であるとともに、市民の憩いの場ともなっている。「猿沢池の月」は奈良八景の一つとされた。奈良県奈良市©Masashi Tanaka"> 猿沢池 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
