5-storey budag

There is lots of five-storey pagoda in Japan, like the pic.

To find the origins of Japan pagodas, we must go back to ancient India, where Buddhism was born around the 5th century BC.


the small, parasol-like structures on the top of the surpass represent the past, present and future of the Buddha. this arrangement changed over the centuries into the finials found on top of Japanese pagodas.

Respite their great height, no five-storey pagodas are known to have collapsed in earthquakes. why are they so earthquake-resistant? some reasons have been suggested by modern science. this test was conducted on a model of a five-storey pagoda built on a ome-fifths scale. It revealed that the storeys do not all move in the same direction at once.

some sway to the left, while others sway to the right. if all the storeys were to lean in the same direction, the centre of gravity storey moves independently, the centre of gravity does not shift so easily. this minimizes the risk of the pagoda collapsing. Many of the new high rise building in Japanese cities in corporate earthquake-suppression technology, based on the principles used in traditional pagodas.

this architectural know-how dating back over 1000 years lives on in these modern structures.

firework MTV

fireworks hold a special place in Japanese hearts: sparkling for a few moments and then falling slowly from the sky, they symbolize both the spirit of summer and the transience of life. Each starburst lasts just 5 or 10 seconds, But these fleeting moments of beautiful pyrotechnics never fail to captivate the watching crowds.

More than 5000 firework displays are held throughout Japan every year. A display giant fireworks exploding in the night sky, one of the highlights of the Japanese summer.

-KIKUKATA-HANABI Chrysanthemum is the most famous type of Japanese firework. the explosion of the round shell sprays stars in all directions. forming a sphere like a giant chrysanthemum in full bloom.

-SUTAMAIN: the climax of any firework display is a rapid-fire series of bursts called Star-mines. Hundreds of fireworks are launched to form a blazing curtain in the sky.

-SENKO-HANABI : Letting off small fireworks with your family and friends is just as much a symbol of summer in Japan s the big pyrotechnic displays. Invented more than 150 years ago during the EDO period, the SENKO-HANABI produced a magical show of sparks that lasts abut 30 seconds. After the sparkler is lit, its appearance changes many times.

Japanese traditional food –WAGASI(3)

WAGASI please the eye as much as the palate. And there are so many varieties. It's also fun to think about what their design represents. I like the feeling of the approach of each season when I see WAGASI.

when I saw the program about why to make a WAGASI, I admire watching skill craftsmen at work. I just saw confectioners putting so much energy and into expressing subtle shades of color and delicate shapes like flowers. That's very Japanese.

Japanese traditional food –WAGASI(2)

I had introduced you about WAGASI before. And it is the continue.
Some time around the 8Th century, simple confections were brought into Japan from China. In ancient times, very few sweet things were available in Japan, so nuts and fruits were highly prized.

Some white dough is sandwiched between two layers of pink dough. And then wrapped around a ball of sweet bean paste. The onset of winter is represented by WAGASI like these. Traditional confections are almost made by hand.

Japanese habit –KAKEJIKU(3)


The picture or calligraphy in the center is called the HONSI. The mounting, which is both decorative and also serves to protect the HONSI is called the HYOGU. People appreciate the combination of the two as one work of art.

when the mountings design is too busy, the eye is drawn to the mounting, rather than to the painting of a figure on the HONSI. The result is that the artwork which is supposed to be the centerpiece gets relegated to the background. So, as a result, the mounting does not accentuate the HONSI well.

In some work , the deep blue of the areas at the top and bottom complement the shade of ink used in the artwork, giving the whole scroll a superb feeling of tension. By using similar colors for both the HONSI and its surrounding area, the space in which the bird is flying seems to be expanded. mountain brings out the HONSI superbly.

Japanese habit –KAKEJIKU(2)


The focal point of any traditional Japanese room is the decorative alcove, known as the TOKONOMA. The most important feature in this alcove is the hanging scroll, called KAKEJIKU.

There are many kinds of KAKEJIKU.
- SANSUIGA feature ink-brush landscape paintings.
- KACHOGA depict seasonal flowers or birds.
- BUTSUGA convey Buddhist symbolism.

Some KAKEJIKU are inscribed with calligraphy by notable ZEN monks. An essential aspect of KAKEJIKU is that they are not intended to be hung permanently. They are changed at frequent intervals. Part of the pleasure of hanging a KAKEJIKU is selecting one that is appropriate for the specific occasion—for the guests who will be received and the season. Because hanging scrolls can be rolled up, they are easy to transport and don’t need much storage space. So you can keep several KAKEJIKU, and easily change them at any time.

For celebrations, a festive inscription is selected. If a close friend is visiting, then perhaps a casual painting is appropriate. Others may evoke coolness in the heat of summer or warmth in winter. The choice of KAKEJIKU will determine the feel of the entire room. Various elements are integrated into each KAKEJIKU to please the eyes of the guests.

Japanese habit –KAKEJIKU(1)

KAKEJIKU are a type of art work. That is not seen much in western culture. They don't have their traditional hanging scrolls and nor do they put examples of calligraphy or handwriting on display. 
So, KAKEJIKU have lots of aspects that foreigners are interested in. and, one striking thing it mentioned is the idea of changing the KAKEJIKU on display to match the occasion, or the type of guests coming to visit you as is done at tea ceremony. 
many foreigners find this idea not only curious but also rather charming. Because they tend to just stay good same pictures on the walls all year around. And , This shows the traditional Japanese sense of hospitality.

the colour which baby love

Today I went to see a friend's baby. I visited the home with other friends. The baby is about 1 years old, very lovely. I love baby. I do think I love it. I tried to touch the little hand of the baby, but the baby cry when he saw me... so sad... I stayed the home for 2 hours, but could not carry the baby in my arm.

why? I think and think the reason why the baby did not like me. Then I find the reason: the clothes! I wear a black colour T-shirt, it may let the baby feel unhappy or fearful. As a fact , the baby like my friend who ware a pink T-shirt. so, if you will visit baby, ware the pink, orange colour T-shirt!

barbershop or beauty-saloon?

which one do you usually use? the barbershop or the beauty saloon?

In Japan there is so many beauty saloon, sometimes I wondered whether their business is OK (well , that is not my business). and the due to cut hair is very expensive! the most popular cost is 4000 YEN. the barbershop is more cheaper, usually cost 1500 YEN with low quality, off course! so the cut this waste payment , I decided to keep my hair longer as I could.

Japanese habit – BENDO

The BENDO has become a medium of communication, a way for the creator to express their feelings for the person who will eat it. The term BENDO is used for portable meals, usually packed in a special container. BENDO originated as simple packed meals as rice balls carried by travelers.

The BENDO sold at train stations are called EKIBEN. Each area and even each individual station is likely to have its own speciality. Convenience store chains are constantly developing new varieties, and often see significant spike in the number of customers when they come up with a BENDO that is particularly popular. Recently, some high- class restaurants have begun offering meals, in single container, such as a basket.

BENDO are much more elaborate than most lunch boxes in other countries which often consist of just sandwiches, fruits, biscuits, and a drink. those BENDO with a springtime accent and a sports day theme are very charming. 

And the idea of a pig shape box for a pork lunch turns into a piggy bank is also rather ecologic. BENDO come in many styles. and, I especially like the cute ones prepared for children.

Japanese traditional food –MACHYA(2)

Once the tea is properly mixed with the water, it is ready to be drunk. hot water is added, using a bamboo scoop(HISYAKU). then it is whisked briskly, using a special tea whisk(TYASEN), also made from bamboo.

A teapot is not used. instead, the powdered tea is placed directly in the bowl from which it will be drunk. the leaves remain in the pot, so they are not directly consumed.

Like other kinds of Japanese tea, MATCHA is made form the dried leaves of the tea plant. However, in the case of MATCHA, the leaves are ground to a fine powder. the unique fragrance and flavor of green tea go well with dairy products, so it is perfect as an ingredient in Western desserts.

I've drunk MACHYA many times at tea ceremonies. And I have to admit it's not really my cup of tea, because it's rather bitter taste. But I think it's an important part of Japan's traditional tea culture. And many foreigners are interested in the tea ceremony and MACHYA products.Yes, I think probably most foreign visitors and residents enjoy visiting them. there are many different kinds of deserts using MACHYA. like with the ice cream. it was very delicious.

Japanese traditional food –MACHYA(1)

MATCHA is a high-quality kind of tea, because it is made from the first leaves of the year, nipped while they are still budding. the start of the tea harvest is in April or May, depending on the region. Each leaf is carefully plucked by hand , one at a time. and different from other tea leaves , MACHA leaves was covered to shut down the sun light. So the MACHYA is a little bitterness, and it is exactly the point of MACHYA
