"Kojiki and Nihonshoki and Holy Land" Lecture [Mie Terrace]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] January 29, 2015 09:00

"Kojiki and Nihonshoki" refers to Records of ancient matters and Chronicles of Japan. Mie-Nara collaborative lecture "Kojiki and Nihonshoki and Holy Land - The Unknown Charms of Ise and Yamato" was held at Mie Terrace in Nihonbashi Muromachi 2-chome. The venue was a multi-purpose hall on the second floor of Mie Terrace.

First of all, as a keynote speech, "Kojiki and Nihonshoki and Holy Land-The Unknown Charm of Ise and Yamato-" (about 40 minutes) was held by religious anthropologist Keiji Uejima, followed by Uejima and Mika Hagi. A dialogue between "Traveling the Holy Land of Ise and Yamato" (about 1 hour) was held. Mika Hagi is an actress and serves as a national tourism ambassador for Mie.

Mr. Ueshima's story was often noticed and helpful.

This course was originally conducted as the second part of a collaborative course in three prefectures, Mie, Nara, and Shimane, where myths take root. By all means, I would like you to continue with the third and fourth issues and themes of interest to us.

By the way, the antenna shops in the three prefectures (Mie Terrace, Nihonbashi Shimanekan, Nara Mahorobakan) all face Chuo-dori (opposite Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi and Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower), all gather at Nihonbashi Muromachi 1 and 2-chome.

Both 100% Iga beef and Iga-style ginger carbonated drink were delicious.

Fukai Nara Lecture [Nara Mahorobakan]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] January 27, 2015 09:00

At Nara Mahorobakan, located in 1-chome Nihonbashi Muromachi, a lecture introducing the charm of Nara was held, so I went on Sunday.

kojik1.JPGThe title is "Know through Literature! Lecturer is Norio Ta, Managing Director of the NPO "Nara Mahoroba Sommelier Association", in the charm of Nara-from Records of ancient matters to Kazuo Aniyoshi. The venue was on the second floor of the Nara Mahoroba Hall, which was full of full capacity.

This time, Mr. Takata featured 10 stories and novels related to Nara and introduced the charm of Nara. The works featured include "Records of ancient matters", "Nippon Reikiki", "Tenpyo no Iraki", "Tianhe Legend Murder Case", "Kao Aniyoshi", etc.

Mr. Takata's story was very interesting, and I would like to read books that I had never read, and even books I had read in the past seemed to try again.

The Nara Mahorobakan holds such courses and events at all times, and you can apply for participation by postcard, fax, Internet, etc.

kojik3.JPGOn the day of the exhibition, a panel, video, and model introducing the Omiwa-jinja Srine, with Mt. Miwa as sacred object of worship and no main hall, were exhibited in the space at the back of the first floor, entitled "Omiwa-jinja Srine: Unchanging God and People Since ancient times." By the way, this event is until January 27th.

Printer Hasui Kawase Exhibition [Nihonbashi Takashimaya]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] January 5, 2015 10:32

I am very happy to be able to introduce this person early in the year.

A retrospective exhibition by Hasui Kawase (1883-1957), a printmaker known as "Hiroshige of Showa," is being held at Nihonbashi Takashimaya. It's my favorite printmaker

In the morning of January 3, I went to Takashimaya, facing Chuo-dori, where the climbers of each university stand, to support the final runner on the Hakone Ekiden return route.

As the subtitle of the retrospective exhibition says "Japanese scenery of nostalgia", Tomoe Mizu traveled all over Japan to sketch, and returned to Tokyo to continue living in printmaking. There are more than 600 woodcuts left in life.

In this retrospective exhibition, sketchbooks and original drawings were also exhibited. The comparison between the sketches of the watercolor and the trial sliding and the main sliding was interesting because I could imagine the creator's intention to make it. You can also see a video (about 13 minutes) recording the sketch trip of Tomoe Mizu, and you can also hear the voice of the person himself.

(Nihonbashi (night dawn) 1940)

In the recommendation letter of the retrospective exhibition, there was a statement saying, "I don't exist anywhere now, but nostalgic scenery-Please enjoy the trip of 'Rediscover Japan'."

I stopped and watched the nostalgic scenery many times.

(Kiyosubashi, 1931)
