東京都小金井市の住宅街の一角に草むした社がある。所用の折りにふと思い立って寄ってみたら、「ここは普段着の野草園です。80種類から90種類の植物があります」と立て札に書いてあった。八重垣神社といえば「「八雲立つ出雲八重垣妻籠みに八重垣作るその八重垣を」を思い出す。今度ゆっくり縁起を調べてみなくては。

In a residential area of Koganei City, TOKYO, there is a shrine deep in grasses. When I stopped by one day, I found a plate saying, "More than 80 or 90 sorts of grasses are growing in this garden. They are all common grasses you see everywhere. Enjoy watching familiar grasses of your daily life." The name of this shrine reminds me of a Japanese short poem which includes the word "yaegaki" (literally meaning double hedges) several times. I'm sure this one is related to the one in Izumo (an old name of Shimane District). Let me check it later.
