This is part of a Daimyo procession through the Yakage town in Okayama.
The different outfits worn and where they are in the line signify the rank
of the people I think. If you are a foreigner like me you cannot really
tell who is supposed to be the important people in this procession.

...or suffering from wisteria hysteria. Taken at the Kyū Shiba Rikyū Garden in Tokyo. This site used to be an Edo residence of the Okubo clan, a high-ranking fudai daimyo family that ruled the Odawara domain during the Edo period. In the final years of the shogunate, this was a residence of the Kii branch of the ruling Tokugawa family. The site also served as a a detached palace for the imperial family from 1875 to 1924.
There were female officials known as Hitomi women whose roles were to investigate mainly female travelers. Now you know where "Caged Heat" got it's inspiration!
All together perhaps there are 7 or 8 of the feudal-era five-tiered stupa gravestones at this Zen Buddhist temple at city center. The biggest and oldest is in view at the center of the photo and belongs to the first of the Edo-period lords appointed to govern this city and surroundings, Lord Honda Tomimasa from modern-day Shizuoka prefecture and ally of the national Shogun, Ieyasu (Tokugawa family).
Skipping ahead about 350 years to the 1930-1945 conflicts of the Pacific War, many local sons were killed in violence or disease and have been remembered in the three ranks of military tombs on the right-hand side of the picture. Moving forward in time another 350 years, it might be interesting to speculate if any of this stonework remains to mark the turbulent 20th century and the 260 years of feudal order before that.
