1000年以上も続く伝統文化「刀鍛冶」 こちらの動画は「redbowkk9600」が公開した、兵庫県篠山市で日本刀の制作している藤井啓介さんが日本刀を鍛錬する様子を収めた「日本刀鍛錬　katana making(1)」だ。 古くは約1000年前の平安時代から使われてきた日本固有の武器「日本刀」。 世界的にも有名なこの武器は、切ることに特化しており、その性能は他の武器の追随を許さないほどだ。 現代の平和な日本において日本刀が武器として使われることはない。 しかし日本刀には、武器としての性能以上に伝統工芸品としての美しさがある。 刀鍛冶の職人が作った日本刀は、まさに芸術品だ。 伝統工芸品である日本刀を作る職人（刀匠）は、減少傾向にある。 これは日本刀自体が高価で需要が少ないこともあるが、刀鍛冶としての技術を継承することが非常に難しいことが主な原因だ。 刀鍛冶になり、日本伝統の継承者になろうと思っても最低5年の修行期間を経て、やっと本格的な日本刀の鍛錬ができるようになる。 鋭い切れ味と強靱な刀身を実現する日本刀の原料とは？ 日本刀が他の刃物と大きく違う点は原材料にある。 伝統工芸品である日本刀は「玉鋼（たまはがね）」と呼ばれる良質な鋼でできている。 この「玉鋼」は現在は日本刀の原材料でしか使われておらず、「たたら製鉄」という特有の製鉄法で製錬される。 「玉鋼」は普通の鋼と比較すると不純物が少ないので非常に美しくあり、また加工しやすく割れにくいという特徴がある。 「玉鋼」はまさに、日本刀のために製錬された鉱物なのだ。 また日本の歴史の中で太刀や短刀などさまざまな刀長の種類の日本刀が作られたが、いずれも「玉鋼」を原料にしたものが重宝されてきた。 匠の技による日本刀の意外な作刀法 日本刀が伝統工芸品として高価で取引されている理由は、一振り一振りが職人の手によって鍛錬されているからだ。 日本刀の鍛錬は機械では真似できず、職人が受け継いできた技術により丁寧に鍛錬していくしかない。 一振りの日本刀を鍛錬し完成させるためには約2週間かかる。 日本刀の鍛錬は鋼を高温で熱し、細長い形にするという単純な作り方ではない。 日本刀の鍛錬の特徴は、高温に熱し加工しやすくした「玉鋼」を何度も折り返し重ねることだ。この折り返しは10回から12回繰り返す。 この手間のかかる工程と技法を行うことで、不純物の少ない「玉鋼」からさらに不純物を取り除くことができ、さらに日本刀の仕上がりも丈夫なものができる。 「刀鍛冶」紹介まとめ 日本刀は日本の伝統工芸品の中でも非常に歴史が深く、美術品として誰もが認める美しさをもっている。 現在では日本刀の鍛錬の様子を見学させてもらえる鍛冶場も多く存在する。間近で職人が刀を鍛錬する様子はまさに圧巻だ。 また、伝統工芸作品として登録された日本刀はだれでも購入することができる。 美術品として気になる方は、専門店に行くとさまざまな日本刀を見ることができるのでオススメだ。

A Disaster-Prevention Learning Facility in Japan's Kansai Region This video is titled "Evolving Disaster Prevention Learning Facility" (進化する防災学習施設), created by "SankaiNews." It introduces three disaster prevention learning facilities in the Kansai region. The three facilities introduced are The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Memorial Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution" in Chuo Ward (中央区, Chuo-ku),Kobe City (神戸市, Kobe-shi), "Kyoto City Disaster Prevention Center" in Minami Ward (南区, Minami-ku), Kyoto City (京都市, Kyoto-shi) and "Abeno Tasukaru (Abeno Disaster Prevention Learning Center)" in Abeno Ward(阿倍野区,Abenoku), Osaka City (大阪市, Osaka-shi). One of the main features of these Disaster Prevention Learning Centers is that you can experience a simulation of earthquakes or tsunamis. You can learn the terror of earthquakes and how to react when one happens, through this realistic experience. Be sure to check out what these experience look like in the video. The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Memorial Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution Source :YouTube screenshot "The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Memorial Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution" in Chuo Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture(兵庫県,Hyogo-ken) is introduced at the beginning of the video. This facility was made for people to learn, and experience disasters, and to raise awareness about disaster prevention and mitigation in response to the Great Awaji-Hanshin Earthquake. The "Tsunami Evacuation Experience Corner," shown at the beginning of the video, was built in 2017. You can experience the difficulty of walking during a tsunami by wearing walking equipment that puts weight on your feet, surrounded by a live-action film of Takase Town (高瀬町, Takase-cho), in Japan's Shikoku region (四国地方, Shikoku-chiho), which is expected to be hit with floods and tsunamis when the Nankai Trough Earthquake hits, as well as 3D-footage of a tsunami. Experiencing how difficult it can be to walk through the water pressure of a rushing tsunami can help you understand the need to evacuate as soon as possible. Through videos and storytellers, the experiences and lessons of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake are being passed on to the next generation. Kyoto City Disaster Prevention Center Source :YouTube screenshot Up next is the Kyoto City Disaster Prevention Center The earthquake experience room is introduced at 1:25 in the video. The video shows an emergency earthquake warning, and the monitor shows the expected seismic intensity, allowing you to experience the 6.8-magnitude Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake and the 7.3-magnitude Hanshin-Awaji earthquake. It’s a practical and useful experience, where you can experience taking cover under a desk, and learn the actions you need to take when evacuating your home. This video shows parents and children experiencing an earthquake. In this way, children can also learn what to do in the event of a disaster. There is also a video experience corner, a strong wind experience corner, an evacuation experience corner, a firefighting corner, an urban flood experience corner, a general training corner, and a safe living corner. Abeno Tasukaru (Abeno Disaster Prevention Learning Center) Source :YouTube screenshot The last facility we'll touch on is the Abeno Tasukaru (Abeno Disaster Prevention Learning Center), which was renovated in April 2019. "City of Debris," where you can experience the dangers of walking in a post-earthquake city, is shown through buildings wrecked by earthquakes and projection mapping. As you can see in the video, an extremely realistic town is reproduced. By experiencing windows shattering and signs falling, you can know what to watch out for when evacuating. There's also the "Osaka Disaster Prevention Information Station" where you can learn about the potential dangers of disasters all over Osaka City. There's also Tasukaru Theater, and you can learn about disaster mitigation, firefighting, smoke, tsunami evacuation, evacuation support, rescue, preparedness, first aid, experience a seismic intensity 7 earthquake, and more. Summary of Disaster Prevention Centers in the Kansai Region Source :YouTube screenshot Japan was hit by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 and the Kumamoto Earthquake in 2016, and the affected areas are still recovering. As you can see in the video, disaster prevention learning facilities that allow people to learn to prepare for future earthquakes, while preserving the memory of past earthquakes, have become more realistic in recent years. When the time comes, you are most likely to panic and not know how to act. When it comes to an emergency, it is possible to panic and not know what to do. By simulating these facilities, you are more likely to be able to act calmly. We encourage you to visit the facility to see what they are like and to think about sharing the dangers of, and preparing for the dangers of future disasters. ◆The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Memorial Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution・Facility Information◆ 【Address】1 Chome-5-2 Wakinohamakaigandori, Chuo Ward, Kobe, Hyogo 651-0073 【Access】A 10 minute walk from Hanshin Electric Railway's Iwaya Station and Kasuganomichi Station. 【Hours】Adults: 600 yen, University Students: 450 yen, High School Students and under: Free (※As of January 2020) 【Hours】9:30〜17:30 【Closures】Mondays (When Monday is a holiday, the next weekday is closed) 【Parking】Available.

Shutdown of the Supercomputer "K" This video titled "The Curtain Has Come Down on the Supercomputer 'K' and Fugaku Will Serve as Its Successor,（スパコン「京」幕下ろす 後継・富岳、運用へ）, released by "KyodoNews," is a video on the shutdown ceremony of supercomputer "K"- the former fastest computer in the world. The supercomputer “K” was used in various fields after achieving first for two consecutive years in the category of fastest calculation speed of a supercomputer, in 2011 during the test run. In the video of K's shutdown ceremony "Fugaku”, the successor to “K” , is also reported. You can find out how powerful the Japanese computer is. The video features the supercomputer "K" and its successor. What Is "K"? Source :YouTube screenshot The supercomputer "K" was jointly developed by the Riken Center for Computational Science and Fujitsu. NEC and Hitachi were also involved in its development at the beginning, but withdrew. This supercomputer, completed in 2012, contributed to the development of various fields including life science, healthcare, disaster defense, and space technology. It was also referred to as a "Next Generation Supercomputer," "General Purpose Hyper Speed Calculator" or "Kyosoku." This supercomputer achieved the fastest calculation speed in the world at the beginning of it development and has been used for about 7 years. According to the latest world ranking, it has currently dropped all the way to 20th . It was finally decided to put an end to the 7 year history and to make room for its successor "Fugaku," the next generation, most advanced supercomputer. In the video you can see that about 860 units of the supercomputer “K “ were shut down in turn during this ceremony. Hiroshi Matsumoto, President of the Riken Center talked about the expectations for the next generation supercomputer in this video (1:11). It is expected that Fugaku's calculation speed is more than 100 times faster than "K," and it will be used as AI (Artificial Intelligence). K's Specs Photo：CPU Next, we will show you what kind of specs "K" has. First, its high-end CPU capable of performing highly advanced arithmetic processing was developed by Fujitsu. 88,128 pieces are connected in parallel to calculate 10 petabytes worth of information per second. There is some concern about error because of the scale that the supercomputer has. However, they built a unique system that could avoid errors and continue high-speed arithmetic processing. Also, high-performance memory is used. This supercomputer consumes powers equivalent to the amount used by about 30 thousand households. Therefore it costs about 1.2 million yen to operate the whole system of "K" per hour, Running the supercomputer "K" full for a day costs about 28 million yen (~$260,000 USD), so the electricity bill can get a little high. “Fugaku," the Next Generation Supercomputer Source :YouTube screenshot “Fugaku," successor to "K," had a development costs of about 112 billion yen (~$1.38b USD). The development of Fugaku started in 2014, and it is scheduled to used starting in 2021. Its calculation speed is more than 100 times faster than that of "K." It is aiming to achieve the worlds top level utility. 150 thousand units of CPU are connected to improve its computing power. According to the world supercomputer ranking as of November, 2019, "Summit" developed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory is top the list, followed by "Sierra" developed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and "Sunway TaihuLight" (神威・太湖之光). Summary of the Supercomputer "K" The video, titled "The Curtain Has Come Down on the Supercomputer 'K' and Fugaku Will Serve as Its Successor," released by "KyodoNews" is a video on the shutdown ceremony of supercomputer 'K' that was used for 7 years.

Fuku Otoko 2023 – A Race to Be the Lucky Man at Nishinomiya Shrine: Video Introduction This video, titled "A Return After 3 Years! Nishinomiya Shrine's 'Fuku Otoko' Event - This Year's 'Lucky Man' Is a 22-Year-Old University Student From Kobe!" (3年ぶり開催！西宮神社「福男選び」　一番福は神戸の22歳大学生), was uploaded by "Kobe Shimbun (kobedigital)" (神戸新聞社（kobedigital)). Every year, there's a unique ritual held at Nishinomiya Shrine on Toka Ebisu, a festival on January 10 dedicated to Ebisu, the god of fortune. It's called Fuku Otoko. Since 2019, there has been only one Fuku Otoko event held at Nishinomiya Shrine. But this year, the ritual has finally returned! Before the coronavirus pandemic, the event was massive, with nearly 1,500 participants, but it was cancelled for two years due to the coronavirus pandemic, making it the first time in three years that the event has been held. Check out the video below to see the 2023 Fuku Otoko event! The Lucky Man of 2023! Source :YouTube screenshot Of the first 1,200 people to arrive, approximately 108 were in the forward group. Just prior to the opening of the gates, a curtain was hung with the words "Shuku Fukatsu" (祝復活, Celebration Revival) in celebration of the first time the event had been held in three years. At 6:00 a.m. on January 10, 2023, the Main Gate opened to the sound of taiko drums, followed by participants rushing into the precincts of the temple and sprinting for the finish line. [Video] 0:02 - The Celebration Revival Curtain The first man to pass through the gate arrives at the main shrine, dodging all the obstacles in his path! He was the lucky man of 2023. [Video] 0:45 - The Moment the Lucky Man of 2023 is Decided The lucky man for 2023 is a 22-year-old baseball player from Kobe, Hyogo, who is a member of the regulation baseball team at Osaka University of Commerce and holds a record of 5.9 seconds in the 50-meter dash. In the interview, he says, "I am standing here because of my luck, so I want to make this a year in which I can share this luck with everyone. [Video] 0:50 - The 3 Lucky Winners The second blessing was given to a 25-year-old public servant from Nishinomiya, Hyogo, and the third to a first-year college student from Kishiwada, Osaka. In the 2020 Nishinomiya Shrine Fuku Otoko event, a male PE teacher in his 30s, who has participated 13 consecutive times, was awarded #1 Fuku Otoko for the first time in 2023. Incidentally, the last lucky man of Japan's Heisei period (1989-2019) was a male firefighter in his 20s. Fuku Otoko – When & Where to See the Event Photo：Nishinomiya Shrine, Hyogo The Gate Opening ritual for selecting the "lucky men" is held at Nishinomiya Shrine in Nishinomiya, Hyogo in Japan's Kansai region. Although the 2021 and 2022 rituals were canceled due to the spread of the novel coronavirus, the 2023 ritual was held for the first time in three years and was very popular. Nishinomiya Shrine's annual Fuku Otoko ritual is held on January 10 during "Toka Ebisu," a major festival dedicated to the deity Ebisu, with the large red gate closing at midnight on January 9 and opening at 6:00 a.m. on January 10. A large number of participants dash through the precincts of the shrine to be the first to arrive at the shrine to pray for good fortune. For the first time in three years, Nishinomiya Shrine will hold a lottery to select the participants of the event, with the number of participants being limited to 1,200, down from the usual 1,500. Despite the ritual being called Fuku Otoko (福男, lit. "Lucky Man"), women are also eligible to participate. If a woman wins, she becomes a "Fuku Onna" (福女, lit. "Lucky Woman"). Tracing the History of Nishinomiya Shrine Photo：A statue of Ebisu Nishinomiya Shrine is the head shrine of all Ebisu shrines throughout Japan, which are worshipped as gods of good fortune. The origin of the shrine is said to originate from an idol that originally appeared off the coast of Wadamisaki, Kobe, in Osaka Bay and was enshrined by fishermen, who later entrusted it to Nishinomiya Shrine. The main shrine is a beautiful building with an unusual structure called sanren kasuga-zukuri (a triple-pitched roof), and is designated as a National Treasure. It was donated by Tokugawa Ietsuna, the fourth shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate. It was destroyed by fire during an air raid during the war, but has been beautifully restored to its present appearance. The beautiful green forest that stretches across the grounds behind the main shrine is called Ebisu no Mori (えびすの森, Ebisu Forest) and is designated as a Natural Monument by the Hyogo Prefectural Government. It is a wonderful shrine where visitors can experience nature and the long history and culture of the area. Fuku Otoko's Course, Obstacles, and Time! Photo：The large front gate of Nishinomiya Shrine, Hyogo Prefecture Nishinomiya Shrine's Fuku Otoko ritual is a major event on Toka Ebisu, in which contestants race through a 230-meter long-course along a stone-paved approach from the red Akamon Gate to the main shrine building. Every year, many applicants compete for the title of "lucky man," but many give up even before the more difficult points along the course. One of the most difficult points that eliminates many participants is the "Tenbin Curve" located at the end of the straight shot extending from Akamon Gate. Many participants have been seen on TV dropping out of the race after failing to make this turn. You might be curious as to how fast people get to the finish line during the Fuku Otoko rituals at Nishinomiya Shrine, but they unfortunately don't record this. According to a spokesperson, the races are usually about 30 seconds long. This means that the races start and end in a flash. Merits to Being a Lucky Man or Lucky Woman Photo：A lucky bamboo branch on Toka Ebisu So, what happens if you're a lucky man or woman at Nishinomiya Shrine's Fuku Otoko ritual? First, you'll receive an effigy of Ebisu and a certificate. Then, you'll receive Ebisu's rice, sake, yakidai (grilled sea bream), an Ebisu mask, a happi coat, and other gifts. Winners will also participate in shrine festivals and rituals as a lucky man or woman. The events included are as follows: rice cake pounding at the shrine in February, the Okoshiya Festival in June, and the Nishinomiya Festival in September. The winners are also invited to corporate events and other events, where they deliver good fortune to everyone as that year's Fuku Otoko or Fuku Onna. Rules & How to Participate in Fuku Otoko To participate in Nishinomiya Shrine's Fuku Otoko ritual, it's actually very simple. If you just want to participate, simply gather at Omote-daimon Gate in time for the 6:00 a.m. start time. However, if you are serious about becoming a Fuku Otoko, you'll need to win a drawing. The lottery draw will take place at 10:00 p.m. on January 9, with registration starting at midnight on January 10. At the registration desk, you'll have to sign a "Participant's Agreement" indicating that you agree to participate in the shrine's events on a priority basis if you become a lucky man or lucky woman. There is a red lottery for the A block (108 people) at the front of the gate, and a blue lottery for the B block (100 people) behind the A block. All others will be placed in Block C. The lottery will be closed once it reaches the maximum enrollment. If you want to be a lucky man or lucky woman, be sure to participate in the lottery. Summary of Nishinomiya Shrine's Fuku Otoko Event Photo：Toka Ebisu, Nishinomiya Shrine The sight of so many people running as fast as they can to become a lucky man is exciting to watch. Although the Toka Ebisu festival is crowded with many worshippers, it's a unique event and you can also see the unusual sakasa kadomatsu, an upside-down pine decoration. Bring a camera to take some awesome photos of your visit. You can participate in the selection of a lucky man and become one, or just come to experience the excitement of the festival! If you're traveling to Hyogo Prefecture during this season, consider checking out the gate opening ritual, which will be held for the first time in three years, and pray for a happy new year! 【Official Website】Nishinomiya Shrine 【TripAdvisor】Nishinomiya Shrine
