Camellia Tea CeremonyRyōi made it possible to use boats along the length of the river, allowing for rice, wheat, firewood and charcoal from Tamba Province to be quickly and cheaply transported. Before this time lumber, sailed downstream as rafts, was one of the few things that could make the journey.In 1606 Ryōi started work on his most ambitious river management project...clearing the Hozu-gawa.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Kyoto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kyoto</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/%E4%BA%AC%E9%83%BD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#京都</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Hozugawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hozugawa</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/%E4%BF%9D%E6%B4%A5%E5%B7%9D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#保津川</a>

Camellia Tea CeremonyIt takes three men to navigate each flat-bottomed boat. Each team takes a turn at the rudder, oar and a pole (used to guide the boat away from rocks and push it clear of the more dangerous parts of the river).<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Hozugawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hozugawa</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/%E4%BF%9D%E6%B4%A5%E5%B7%9D%E4%B8%8B%E3%82%8A" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#保津川下り</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Kyoto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kyoto</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Arashiyama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arashiyama</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/%E5%B5%90%E5%B1%B1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#嵐山</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Kameoka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kameoka</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/%E4%BA%80%E5%B2%A1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#亀岡</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Japan</a>

Camellia Tea CeremonyIt's thought the expression 'kawakudari' (川下り) was first used when boats transported logs to help in the construction of the short-lived capital Nagaoka-kyō (長岡京 784-94).With (a lot of) poetic license we might better translate 'kawakudari' as 'shooting the rapids'.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Japan</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Arashiyama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arashiyama</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/boating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boating</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Hozugawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hozugawa</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Oigawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oigawa</a>
