Flying Shrine Yawata City Yawata Doi 44 It was founded in 1915 (Taisho 4) (1915) by Tadahachi Ninomiya from Yawatahama City, Ehime Prefecture, who succeeded in the first powered model flight experiment in Japan in 1891 (Meiji 24)). Inspired by the gliding appearance of a crow, he created a "crow-shaped flying device" powered by fixed wings and succeeded in flying. In Meiji 26 (Meiji 26) (1893), he designed a biplane model "iridescent flying machine" that had no tail and could be ridden by a person, but abandoned due to lack of funds. After that, he moved to Yawata, Kyoto Prefecture, and began building a full-scale prototype, but in Meiji 36 (Meiji 36) (1903), he learned that the Wright brothers of the United States had succeeded in the world's first continuous flight of a powered heavy aircraft, and he left airplane development. Heartbroken by the large number of victims of aviation accidents since the invention of the airplane, Chuhachi invested his own money to build a shrine in his residence in Yawata (where he is present) to comfort the spirits of the deceased, and prayed for aviation safety and the development of the aviation business. The current worship hall was rebuilt in 1989 in the ancient Western style, and features a stained glass decoration depicting a cylindrical column and a crow that inspired its invention. In addition, there is a museum attached to the museum, which exhibits photographs taken by Chuhachi himself at the time and iridescent flying equipment (models), as well as items donated by various companies and organizations, as well as 1,000 plastic models Dedication by individuals.

National Treasure: Ishisei Water Hachimangu 30 Yawata Takabo, Yawata City, Kyoto Prefecture "Ishisei Water Hachimangu" is worshipped as a god of protection from evil, and although it has been designated as a national treasure, it is affectionately known as "Yawata Hachiman-san" by the locals. In addition, the shrine has a dove motif that was loved by warring warlords such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Hideyori, and Tokugawa Iemitsu. It is considered to be a messenger of the god Hachiman, and it is fun to look for it because the Main Shrine is decorated and carved with pigeons.

Calligraphy, which can be learned by both children and adults, enriches the mind and deepens understanding of culture in daily life. Even people from other countries can learn deeply about Japanese culture and history through calligraphy. The expression of letters using brush strokes and ink is part of the cultural heritage handed down from ancient times. Therefore, the use of the brush and the process of tracing a model, which are taught in the Calligraphy Plan, allow students to feel not only the aesthetic expression of letters, but also the depth of the culture. #Calligraphy #kimono #kanji #shodo

Photographed on April 12, 25. It is the Shingashi River behind the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine. The cherry blossoms were scattered and a magnificent flower raft was formed. The cherry blossoms are also a sight to behold.

When children learn calligraphy, they learn to write beautifully. The benefits are especially great if they start learning before they start developing habits, so if they start by around age 5, they may have beautiful writing for a lifetime. In addition, calligraphy, as an ancient Japanese art, also teaches manners such as greetings and respect. #kanji #kimono #calligraphy #OsakaCastle
