石川県能登に伝わる日本の伝統「あばれ祭り」とは? こちらの動画は「和倉温泉 多田屋 WAKURAONSEN TADAYA」が公開した石川県能登町宇出津に伝わる、「あばれ祭り」を紹介した「あばれ祭 - のとつづり」です。 あばれ祭りは350年以上の歴史がある日本の伝統行事で、無形民族文化財にも指定されています。 このお祭りは、キリコ祭りの先陣を切って行われる勇壮な祭りで、2日間に亘っておこなわれます。 1日目は約40基のキリコ山車が大松明(おおたいまつ)の火の粉を浴びながら無病息災を祈願し、御囃子や掛け声、太鼓に合わせて街を練り歩きます。 2日目には宮神輿が登場し、いやさか広場にキリコと神輿が集結しクライマックスを迎えます。 あばれ祭りという名前は宮神輿を水中や炎の中に投げ込んだり、地面に叩きつけるなどの過激なしきたりから由来しています。 祭りの期間は花火やライブ、屋台なども出て、能登の街はあばれ祭り一色になります。 石川県能登地方に伝わるキリコお祭りとイベント情報 あばれ祭りはキリコ祭りのオープニングを飾る祭りです。 キリコとは巨大な灯篭を模した山車のことで、キリコ吉祥文字と言われる地区ごとの願いや祈りを込めた文字を記し、御囃子や太鼓で祭囃子を鳴らしながら能登の街を練り歩きます。 キリコ祭りは石川県能登地方の住民にとって最も重要な夏祭りと言われていて、毎年祭りの時期には帰省し祭りに参加するしきたりなのだそうです。 特に宮神輿は一年を通じて石川県能登地方の祭りに参加し、貢献した担ぎ手だけが持つことを許されている特別な神輿です。 あばれ神輿の歴史と日本神話のつながり 江戸時代にかけて石川県周辺の能登地方は日本海に面した海上交通の要所でした。 加賀百万石と称された金沢を有し人の往来が絶えない豊かな地域でしたが、降水量が多くたびたび疫病の流行に悩まされていました。 そこで本格的に疫病が流行る前にキリコに魔を封じ、炎で清めたのがキリコ祭りの始まりと言われています。 昔から八坂神社では無病息災の祈祷が行われてきたのですが、肝心の宮神輿にまで悪鬼が取り付いてしまったので、神輿を乱舞させ地面に叩きつけ病魔ごと葬ったというのが神輿の扱いに関する由来です。 八坂神社の御祭祀、素戔嗚命(スサノオのミコト)は神仏習合により牛頭天王と同一格となり、京都八坂神社の祇園社信仰と結びつき、全国に広がりました。 素戔嗚命はヤマタノオロチを退治したことでも有名な日本神話を代表する神様で仏教では薬師如来が同格です。 このため、無病息災、悪鬼退散などのご利益があると言われています。 石川県能登に伝わる日本の伝統「あばれ祭り」のまとめ 石川県能登に伝わる日本の伝統奇祭「あばれ祭り」は1997年に「能登のキリコ祭り」として国から「無形民俗文化財」に指定され、その後2015年に文化庁から日本遺産の最初の18件の1つに選ばれました。 動画では2016年に行われた迫力ある祭りの模様を紹介しています。 来年はあなたも浴衣や、はっぴで石川県能登の「あばれ祭り」に足を運んでみませんか? 日程やイベント情報、当日の駐車場情報は「能登町観光ガイド」でご確認ください。 -

Noh - A Popular Traditional Performing Art That Has Been Handed Down in Japan Since Ancient Times. Learn More About Noh With the Head of the Kanze School of Noh Theater!

Learn About Noh Theatre With the Kanze School of Noh! This video, titled "Manners and Etiquette Handed Down Through Generations of the Kanze School of Noh|nippon.com" was created by "nippon.com." Noh is a traditional performing art of Japan. It has a long history in Japan, much like Kabuki, tea ceremony, and Buyo. There are many schools of Noh, including the Kanze school of Noh featured in the video. Style and performance can vary greatly depending on the school that an actor belongs to. In this video, we'll introduce the Kanze school of Noh. If you're interested in traditional Japanese performing arts, we highly recommend checking out this article and video! The Ever Popular World of Noh Theatre Photo:Noh stage In this video, the 26th head of the Kanze School of Noh, Kiyokazu Kanze (観世清和), talks about Noh and the importance of passing on the art to next generation. At 2:38 in the video we see Saburouta Kanze (観世三郎太) performing as a heron, one of the highlights of the video! From 1:00 in the video, Kiyokazu Kanze talks about teaching his son Saburouta. Then, at 2:20, he goes on to say that "to learn Noh, it is not enough to simply imitate a performance, one must make the performance their own and elevate it to another level." From 3:53, he explains how constantly improving one's performance until their full potential is reached is the most important aspect of Noh. You can hear Kiyokazu Kanze talk about his feelings towards his son throughout the entirety of this 5 minute long video. A Closer Look at the Traditional Performing Art, Noh Photo:Noh "Nougaku" (能楽) is the general name given to the performing arts Noh and Kyogen (狂言). It is one of Japan's oldest traditional performing arts and is registered as an Intangible Cultural Asset. There are six important features of any Noh play: ・Shosa (所作): Performance ・Utai (謡): Chanting ・Hayashi (囃子): Musical accompaniment ・Men (面): Masks ・Shozoku (装束): Costumes ・Kodogu (小道具): Props Movements in Noh involve standing up straight with ones chin tucked in in a posture called "Kamae" (カマエ). Walking without lifting one's heels off the ground, called "Hakobi" (ハコビ), is another characteristic feature of Noh plays. Back when Noh was first being performed by Kan'ami (観阿弥) and Zeami (世阿弥) in the Muromachi period (1336 AD - 1573 AD), "Kamae" had yet to even be established. "Utai" refers to the lines or speech in a Noh play performed by the lead role called the "Shitekata" (シテ方). This is important in correctly portraying the feelings of the characters in the play. "Hayashi" refers to the musical accompaniment, which usually include a flute, small and large hand drums, and taiko drums (太鼓). In some cases, the taiko drum may not be used. The music is often played at a low volume as not to interfere with the performance. "Men" refers to the masks worn during a Noh play. There may be times when masks are not worn as well. "Shozoku" is the term used for Noh costumes. White is often worn by nobles, whereas young women are often dressed in red. Many props are used on stage during Noh performances. In contrast to the larger props which must be prepared well in advance of the performance, many small, simple props are often repurposed for each performance. More About the Kanze School of Noh Source :YouTube screenshot The Kanze school is but one of many different schools of Noh Theatre. Its name originates from the Yuzaki guild (結崎座) of Yamato Sarugaku (大和猿楽). "Kanze" was the childhood nickname of Kan'ami, the founder of Noh. The Sarugaku performances of Kan'ami Kiyotsugu were what led to the creation of the Kanze School. The Kanze School of Noh's traditions and performances continue even today. Summary of Japan's Noh Theatre Performers of the Kanze school of Noh are continually working hard to perfect their performances in the hope that the traditional art continues for generations to come. If you're interested in watching a Kanze school performance, we highly recommend watching the video to get a taste of Noh theatre! There more you learn about the family trees and schools of Noh, the more interesting it becomes! 【Official Website】Kanze School of Noh https://kanze.net/en/publics/index/ -

The same type of tree, such as a Japanese white pine, can also have several structural forms: formal upright, informal upright, slanted and windswept are a few examples. Other tree types such as cherry blossom and maple trees can also be used. The charm of Bonsai comes from the individualized pruning and shaping of the trees which gives each particular tree it's personality. The combination of the natural beauty of the tree itself and the creativity and individuality of the craftsman is what makes Bonsai so interesting. Bonsai Tree Summary Source :YouTube screenshot Bonsai is a popular Japanese tradition that has been around for many generations.

A First-Rate Ink Craftsman Who Makes the Ink That Is Absolutely Essential for Calligraphy. With a History of More Than 1,000 Years, the Techniques for Making High-Quality Ink Aren't Learned in a Day...
Traditional Culture- 108 plays
- YouTube
Introducing the Techniques of Japan's Ink Artisans! This video, titled "Japanese ink artisan/Interview - IS JAPAN COOL CRAFTSMANSHIP(墨職人)," was created by "ANA Global Channel." The video shows the process of creating the inksticks used in Japanese calligraphy. Japanese calligraphy is well-known both in Japan and overseas as a hallmark of Japanese culture. In Japanese calligraphy, ink is, of course, essential. Japanese calligraphy has a rich history, dating back more than a thousand years. The reason why works of calligraphy from such a long time ago can be appreciated even now, is the incredible skills of the craftsmen who created the paper and ink used for them. The traditional techniques for making high-quality ink have been passed down for generations. In the video, one ink artisan explains his craft, and you can see the entire inkstick-making process with the artisan pouring his heart and soul into his creations. The Process of Creating Inksticks Source :YouTube screenshot The main material used in the ink for both Japanese calligraphy and as a dye is the soot and glue collected after burning oil. Pine resin and charcoal are occasionally used as well. The very best craftsmen carefully select materials in order to create the highest-quality inksticks. To create the ink, first the soot is dissolved, then mixed and kneaded well with the glue. Following that, the mixture is inserted into a mold and left to harden. During this process, the artisans’ hands are stained completely black. The hardened mixture is left to dry for one to a few months, then polished and shined to create the final product. This process can be seen from 2:43 in the video. Where to Buy the Inksticks Shown in the Video? Source :YouTube screenshot In elementary schools in Japan, calligraphy is a compulsory subject for practicing penmanship. Therefore, Japanese calligraphy instruments and inksticks are readily available. Besides the solid inksticks, there is a liquid variation known as "bokuteki" (墨滴), as well as other variations. Popular companies such as Kuretake (呉竹) and Kaimei (開明) offer various inksticks at reasonable prices. For those thinking of starting their Japanese calligraphy journey, go for these affordable materials. Japan's inksticks have the distinguishing feature of not fading over time. However, because of that, if clothes are stained by the ink, the stain will not disappear even after washing, so do be careful. Summary of Japan's Ink Artisans Photo:Calligraphy As seen from the video, the ink used in Japanese calligraphy is created through the painstaking work of craftsmen. The art of writing words beautifully with a brush and ink is a tradition the Japan prides itself on. From 6:19 in the video, rare colored inksticks made using natural ores are shown as well. If you're interested in Japanese culture, why not try purchasing inksticks and other necessary materials, and give Japanese calligraphy a try? -

「大谷焼」紹介動画 こちらの動画は「伝統工芸 青山スクエア」が公開した「手技TEWAZA「大谷焼」Otani Pottery/伝統工芸 青山スクエア Japan traditional crafts Aoyama Square」だ。 伝統工芸である大谷焼は徳島県鳴門市で生産されている陶器であり、歴史的文化の深い焼き物として多くの日本人に親しまれている。 大谷焼の起源は1780年にまで遡り、豊後の国(現在の大分県)で作られた物が始まりとされている。 伝統工芸である大谷焼の材料は鉄分の多い堆積粘土だが、もともとは赤土で作られていた。 大谷焼とは 大谷焼の特徴は、その大きさである。 伝統工芸である大谷焼は、酒器・かめ壺・植木鉢などの大きな陶器が有名だ。 この大きな大谷焼を作り方は「寝ろくろ」と呼ばれる独特の文化的製法で作られる。 「寝ろくろ」は、巨大な陶器を制作するために考案された文化的製法であり、陶器を制作する職人に加え、ろくろを回す職人の2人で行われる。 ろくろを回す職人は、横に寝て足でろくろを動かすことから「寝ろくろ」と言われる。 現在では陶器を作るろくろは、機械で回すことが多い。 しかし文化的製法で作られる大谷焼は、人間のリズムでろくろを回すことにこだわっている。人間の作るリズムは機械では再現できるものではなく、職人たちの匠の技があってこそだ。 歴史的文化を大切にする大谷焼は、職人の手技によって作られ、機械は使っていない。 ろくろはもちろんのことだが、こて・亀板(きばん)・柄杓(ひしゃく)など昔ながらの文化的道具を現在でも使っており、伝統文化を大切にしている。 伝統工芸である大谷焼は、阿波地方の伝統工芸「藍染」と深い関係がある。「藍染」は藍を原材料にし、衣類等を染める技法だ。 「藍染」では染料を保存する大きな陶器が必要なため、伝統的にこれに大谷焼が使われてきた。 「藍染」は非常に手間がかかるものの、「藍染」特有の柔らかい緑がかった青色は、現在でも多くの方に愛されている。 「藍染」で使われる大谷焼は「藍甕(あいがめ)」という名称で使われている。 徳島県鳴門市では毎年11月の第2土曜・日曜に「大谷焼窯まつり」が開催されている。 大谷焼陶業協会が主催するこの祭りでは、様々な大谷焼を販売している。 「大谷焼」紹介まとめ 伝統工芸である大谷焼は、大きな陶器として有名な焼き物であり、一般的には美術品として親しまれている。 しかし現在では、日用品などの小さな陶器も作られている。 「大谷焼窯まつり」では、皿・徳利・茶器などの大谷焼が市販の2~3割引で販売されており、祭りの目玉になっている。 また、大谷焼の文化的製法を体験できるイベントや大谷焼名陶展などもあるので、日本の伝統工芸に直に触れたいという方にはおすすめの祭りだ。 -

About Grand Seiko This video is "Inside Grand Seiko, Episode One: The Master Craftsman" produced by "Hodinkee". It is a valuable video that shows us the state and production process of the workshop that makes the world-class precision watches "Grand Seiko." The commitment of these Watchmaker's cannot be overlooked! The Japanese Micro-Artist Studio Behind Grand Seiko Watches Source :YouTube screenshot Seiko Epson's Shiojiri office in the Koshinetsu region and the Suwa region of Nagano prefecture, introduced in this video, was established with the aim of inheriting the techniques of the watchmaker "Micro Artist Studio." "Every one must be beautiful," says watchmaker Yoshifusa Nakazawa, a watch assembler who continues to produce watches in this studio (0:50 in the video). Mr. Nakazawa has been active as a watch assembler since joining the company in 1978, and in 1981 won the World Skills Competition in Japan. In this workshop, the assembly of the movement (the part that controls the driving of the wristwatch), the installation of the dial, and the case insertion are all performed consistently, so that steps such as maintenance and overhaul can be easily performed. From 1:06 of the video, you can see how precisely each watch is assembled, sometimes using a microscope. From 3:23 in the video, he says, "Mr. Nakazawa inherits 100% of the technology of assembling watches, and the best watches are assembled neatly." What Is Grand Seiko's Original Mechanism the "Spring Drive"!? Source :YouTube screenshot The mechanism “spring drive” mounted on Grand Seiko, which can be seen from 2:51 in the video, is said to be a third engine that combines machinery and quartz. It has a history of 20 years as a model symbolizing the Grand Seiko brand. The model called "44GS" established the design of Seiko style in 1967. It lists three policies, which are as follows: 1. Design consisting of a plane and quadratic surface, with a plane as the main body. Cubic surfaces are not used in principle. 2. Increase the area of the flat surface as much as possible over all cases, dials and hands. 3. In principle, each surface is a mirror surface, and distortion from each mirror surface is minimized as much as possible. Based on this policy, the 44GS was designed with nine features. This Seiko style is designed to spice up the beauty of Japan. It considers the "light" of Japanese people, and those who hold it can feel the beauty of the Japanese in its undistorted, flat planes. Grand Seiko can be called a work packed with the aesthetic sense of Japan. Master Shops Where You Can Buy Limited Items From Grand Seiko Photo:SEIKO The Grand Seiko Master Shops refer to about 140 shops in Japan that have signed a contract with Seiko, and there are several types of limited models sold only to that master shop. Not only men models, but valuable diver models and ladies' models are popular as well. For a list of watches, see the official website. In addition, you can apply for battery replacement from the official website, so please check it out. Of course, Grand Seiko can also be purchased online. Summary of the Popular Japanese Watch Grand Seiko Source :YouTube screenshot Japan's proud Grand Seiko watches have a high reputation in Japan and around the world as watches with a history and ideology. At the end of the video, Nakazawa says, "I imagine that those who use Grand Seiko watches will hand them over to the next generation and pass them on." Why not get your own watch? One that has been created as a work of art that inherits Japanese technology. 【Official Website】Grand Seiko Official Site https://www.grand-seiko.com/us-en -

人形町今半のすき焼き、醍醐味は生卵と仲居のおもてなし精神 こちらの動画は「ANA Global Channel」が公開した「SUKIYAKI - IS JAPAN COOL? WASHOKU - 和食 (すき焼き)」です。 明治時代に登場した牛鍋。 そこから発展して生まれたのがこの動画で紹介されている「すき焼き」です。 関西と関東で調理の仕方が違う、また各家庭でそれぞれの味付けがあるなど多少の違いはあるにしろ、日本人にとって「すき焼き」はハレの日に食べる特別料理、つまりごちそうのひとつとして多くの方に親しまれています。 この動画で紹介されている人形町今半では、日本の最高峰のすき焼きを提供しています。 今半のすき焼きは肉の品質だけでなく、具材や具材の切り方、調理の方法にまでこだわり抜いた絶品の和食グルメです。 人形町今半のすき焼きの調理方法 動画でご覧になれるように、人形町今半のすき焼きは煮るのではなく「焼くように炊く」のが特徴です。 まずは割り下を薄く引いた鍋に牛肉を一度に食べる量だけ入れます。 その際、牛肉は広げて並べ、重ならないようにするのがポイント。 そうすることで味がぼやけることなく、ダイレクトに肉の旨味が口の中に広がります。 肉がピンク色から茶色に変わったらひっくり返す合図です。 その後の火の通し方でミディアムロゼからウェルダンまでお好みでどうぞ。 肉の焼き方でそれぞれ旨味が変わってくるので、自分好みのこだわりを探してみるのも一興です。 すき焼きには牛肉のほか、ネギは欠かせません。 しっかりと火を通したネギは甘くて舌触り、歯触りも抜群です。 そのほか焼き豆腐、春菊、白菜、さらに椎茸や白滝、お麩もすき焼きの定番の具材です。 人形町今半では、すき焼きの肉や具材は生卵にくぐらせて食べることを推奨しています。 とはいえ、生卵に抵抗感をもつ外国人は多いものです。 宗教や文化の違いがあるため無理強いはできませんが、甘辛く煮えた具材と生卵の食べ合わせはすき焼きの醍醐味とも言えるので、是非チャレンジしてみてほしいものです。 人形町今半のおもてなし 鍋物といえばだしの中で具材をグツグツと煮てそれぞれ箸を進めるものですが、人形町今半のすき焼きに限っては仲居の存在が欠かせません。 仲居は鍋奉行のプロとして、鍋の中すべてのことを管理するほか客の小皿に取り分けまでしてくれます。 プロが付きっ切りでお世話してくれるからこそ、お客さんは食べることに専念でき、さらにちょうど頃合いの肉や具材を口に入れることができるのです。 このことから人形町今半のすき焼きは一般的な鍋物ではなく、鉄板焼きと同じようなパフォーマンス料理とも言えるかもしれませんね。 人形町今半のすき焼き紹介まとめ 外国人の方の中には日本食の代表であるすき焼きを食べたいと思っても食べ方が分からない人も多いようです。 人形町今半のように仲居の存在があると心強いことでしょう。 120年以上もの長い歴史と伝統を受け継いできた人形町今半のすき焼きで、日本食の真髄とおもてなしの精神を同時に味わってみませんか。 -

Ueda, Nagano – The Town and the History of Shinshu Ueda Fireworks Festival Photo:Ueda from the Arato Castle Ruins Ueda, Nagano, located in Japan's Koshin'etsu region, is known as the birthplace of the three generations of Sanada, one of the most influential clans in Japanese history, and is a popular tourist destination with its historical and cultural heritage, magnificent nature, and hot springs that can be enjoyed in Japan's four seasons. The historical atmosphere of the city has led to it being used as a filming location for movies and TV dramas. Since it was the setting for the animated movie Summer Wars, some fans go on a tour of the places that served as models in the movie itself. The Shinshu Ueda Fireworks Festival is held every year on August 5 from the banks of the Chikuma River (Shinano River) in Ueda, Nagano, and usually attracts more than 100,000 spectators. The 36th Shinshu Ueda Fireworks Festival will be held on August 5, 2023. A Beautiful Fireworks Display Created by Skilled Pyrotechnicians Photo:Shinshu Ueda Fireworks Festival 2018 The Shinshu Ueda Fireworks Festival consists of a competition among three local fireworks companies. ・Beniya Aoki Fireworks (紅屋青木煙火店) ・Shinohara Fireworks (篠原煙火店) ・Musha Fireworks (武舎煙火工業) The Shinshu Ueda Fireworks Festival, which has become a summer tradition in Ueda, Nagano, is made possible by the advanced technology of three local firework companies. Normally, 3,000 stars are packed into a firework shell. If even a few of them are out of alignment, the resulting explosion will be lackluster. It is no exaggeration to say that the Shinshu Ueda Fireworks Festival is a success due to the incredibly skilled pyrotechnicians. The Shinshu Ueda Fireworks Festival – Up Close and Personal The Shinshu Ueda Fireworks Festival is a popular fireworks display in Nagano Prefecture because of its diverse program. The night sky is completely lit up as approximately 10,000 fireworks of various sizes are launched, centering on the gorgeous starmine and musical fireworks. In addition, the finale, a series of launches, is a spectacle that captivates the audience. The powerful music and the continuous launching of fireworks herald the arrival of summer in Ueda. One of the reasons why the Shinshu Ueda Fireworks Festival is said to be so powerful is that the spectator seats are close to where the fireworks are launched. Because of the proximity, the spectators are sometimes sprayed with sparks from the fireworks.

Cooking is also a popular activity enjoyed when camping, and is one of the best parts of the experience. Glamping facilities, with their full range of services, are attracting attention from people who want to get away from their daily routine and enjoy nature, but want to do so in a more casual and luxurious way than camping.

About the video that introduced the charm of the Aomori Nebuta Festival This video, “AOMORI NEBUTA MATSURI - IS JAPAN COOL? MATSURI - Matsuri (Nebuta Festival/Aomori)”, was released by “ANA Global Channel”. The Aomori Nebuta Festival is a large-scale summer festival held in Japan every August in Aomori City of Aomori Prefecture in the Tohoku region and it is counted as one of the “Three Great Tohoku Festivals” and the “Three Great Nebuta Festivals”. The number of visitors every year is recorded to be over 2 million, and not only Japanese people come but tourists from overseas come to see this as well. In this video, we will interview the craftsman of the colossal lantern, which is the centerpiece of the festival and the Haneto, who are the dancers of the festival. What are the colossal lanterns and haneto, which are the highlights of the Aomori Nebuta Festival? Photo:Nebuta, Aomori, Japan As for the best part of the Aomori Nebuta Festival, it is the parading of the giant lanterns throughout the city, which you can see from 2:50 of the video. The Nebuta is made by craftsmen called “Nebuta craftsmen” and there are many production organizations in Japan. The average size is 9m wide, 5m high and 7m deep, which is surprisingly large. Nebuta has a long history and there are various methods and materials to making the lanterns; however, basically, a base is made from square lumber and wire, and then light bulbs and fluorescent lights are attached to it. After that, thick Japanese paper will be pasted then color will be added. Many of the designs are based on Japanese mythology, however they are made with different designs every year. The video shows an interview with a Nebuta craftsman and the production site of the Nebuta from 0:34. At the Aomori Nebuta Festival, you can hear the shouting of “Rassera” along with the sound of the beating drums. This shouting is the calling out of the Haneto. You will also be able to hear the vigorous shouting of “Rassera” from everywhere in the video. The Haneto, as the name suggests, is a dance that is characterized by bouncing. It is a simple attire that the Japanese people are familiar with, wearing a yukata and donning a hat adorned with flowers. From 6:48 in the video, you will be able to see an interview with a person called the Haneto Master, who is organizing a Haneto instruction program. The origins of the Aomori Nebuta Festival Source :YouTube screenshot The origins of the Aomori Nebuta Festival are thought to have been one of the “Tanabata Festivals” that was held in various parts of Japan. The Tanabata Festival is an event in which you put your impurity and sins onto a lantern on the night of Tanabata and you let it adrift down a river or on the sea. At the present-day Aomori Nebuta Festival, the Nebuta would be paraded around at night and after that, on the last night, it would be paraded around at sea. This custom comes from the custom of setting lanterns adrift in rivers and the sea. The etymology of “Nebuta Matsuri (Nebuta Festival)” comes from the event “Nemuri-nagashi”, and it is thought that “Nemuri” pronounced with more of an accent gradually became “Nebuta”. Summary of the introduction of the charm of the Aomori Nebuta Festival, an event of great enthusiasm Source :YouTube screenshot The Aomori Nebuta Festival is registered as an important intangible folk cultural property of Japan. It is a traditional event that the Japanese should protect and preserve.
