When it comes to introducing a country and its vibrant culture to newcomers at the airport, making thoughtful choices about what to showcase is essential because first impressions matter. During my recent trip, I stumbled upon Edo-koji, a charming Edo Market Place in the international terminal at Haneda Airport. The area is adorned with quaint, wooden shops that evoke the spirit of an Edo-era village, complete with a small stage that occasionally features captivating cultural displays. On this visit, I was drawn to a stunning pair of two-folded byōbu (folding screens) featuring an enchanting painting of the Wind God and Thunder God. This remarkable piece, crafted by the renowned Rinpa artist Ogata Kōrin, is a replica of an exquisite work by Tawaraya Sōtatsu, illustrating Raijin, the tempestuous god of lightning and storms, alongside Fūjin, the gentle god of wind. Honestly, what could be cooler than this? It’s a perfect representation of Japan’s rich artistic heritage right at the heart of the airport!

For those who say, we recommend a direct visit to the kiln of Echizen pottery. You can actually see the handiwork of craftsmen in front of you. This time Workshop we would like to introduce five potters who accept Visiting the site. ・・・ ●Hosaigama, Mr. Yoshida He was born in Echizen Town (formerly Oda Town), the production area of Echizen pottery, so he went on to the path of pottery. Focusing on Reproduction of the colors of Nature with a sense of the seasons, I am also working hard to create works for Japanese exhibitions and contemporary craft exhibitions in addition to making ceramics. Recently, together with my son, I am working hard every day to convey the charm of Echizen pottery with two generations of parents and children. About Toyosai Kiln https://www.echizenyaki.com/en/pottery/detail.php?Num=10... https://www.instagram.com/housaigama_tougei/... ●Toseisha Izumi At the age of 35, he moved from Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture to Echizen Town, Fukui Prefecture. I like the environment where I can concentrate on creating works in the idyllic Satoyama atmosphere. Mr. Izumi is characterized by his works with a simple texture for everyday use. He is a potter who places great importance on contact with customers, such as pottery experiences on business trips. More about Toseisha https://www.echizenyaki.com/en/pottery/detail.php?Num=11... https://www.instagram.com/touseisya/... ●Furaigama / Oya Oya was born in Osohara in his Local Echizen Town (former Miyazaki Village).

We interviewed President Kurita about his story. It is a long-established Japanese confectionery store that has been in business for 99 years since 1925 (Taisho 14)!! The current president seems to be the third generation. It just so happened that five days before I visited, a Local newspaper published an article saying that the hanging paper and stickers of Koshido's Standard products were designed by students of the Local Suwa Industrial High School. Even in the midst of history, I was fascinated by such a flexible place, and I made an appointment. According to the president, there used to be 60~70 stores in the Suwa City Confectionery Association, and there were Member stores stores in the city alone, but now there are only 17 stores. I wanted to pass on to future generations the culture of Japanese sweets that my ancestors left behind. I myself love bean paste, and I have always liked Japanese sweets. On this day, you can enjoy Japanese sweets in all four seasons I was able to learn anew!! Sakura mochi and Kashiwa mochi in Spring, peony mochi and hagi in Ohigan, pig mochi and tsutsugayu in autumn...

The photo is not of a blue sky, but of a drum stand illuminated by lights in the pitch black darkness. The gold and silver threads shine and the tassels sway violently, which is truly gorgeous and magnificent.

[9/29 (Sun) UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage "Araodori"] 9/29 (Sun) Araodori was held in 🐵💫 It was a hot sunny day, and it was photogenic, but I think 💦 👏 it was really hard for everyone who wore costumes and danced all day long I thought 😳✨ it was really amazing that so many many people were doing one dance, remembering their roles, dances, and songs Elementary school students also danced together on the way, and I was impression 🥹 that the tradition has been passed down to men and women of all ages I heard that Araodori used to be forbidden to women, but I felt 💪✨ the spirit of the entire community to protect the tradition while changing the form according to the times And today, in fact, I want to let more people know about the charm and traditions of Gokase Town and make Gokase Town a lively Town! A student from Gokase junior high school who had this in mind took video pictures 📸💡 of the Scene of the ara dance all day long I think I will be able to open to the public that videos in the near future, so please Fun 🤗💕

It's been almost 10 years since I graduated from high school We thought we could be something special, but we reunited and vowed to each other that we would become something again When I was transferred to Tokyo, I happened to reconnect with my high school friends. Even at this age, I want to cherish my friends who can travel regularly for the rest of my life. I smelled mosquito coils for the first time in a long time yellowtail at the Suwa Lake where I was traveling. For those of us who were born and raised in the countryside of Shizuoka, it was a very nostalgic summer.

【Miyazaki Prefecture Gokase Towns Traditional Performing Arts】Usu Drum Dance The Usu Drum Dance, which is danced during the Great Autumn Festival of Gion Shrine, was Dedication on the 9th day of the 9th month of the lunar calendar in ancient times, so it is also called "Kunchi Odori" and has been danced for more than 400 years. It is said that it began when the Heike clan, who had been driven out of Kyoto and continued to wander in exile, danced in the village of Kuraoka on their way to the unexplored mountain village of Shiiba, while surviving the glamorous capital of Kyoto. The dance, which shows a dignified demeanor in elegance, remembers the hearts of the people of the capital and is Dedication to the annual autumn festival of Gion Shrine every year. < legendary thing>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the first year of Bunji 1185, at the end of the Minamoto War, the remnants of the Taira family, who were defeated in the battle of Dannoura, escaped the pursuit of the Minamoto clan and continued to flee to the hinterland, reaching the village of Kuraoka, and on the way to Mt. Shiiba, they left the weak, women and children in the mountains near Kuraokanami due to the bad road in the deep mountains. In the second year of Genkyu, the Kamakura shogunate did not relent in its pursuit of the remnants of the Heike family, and ordered Nasu Daihachiro Munehisa to hunt down the clan that had fled to the Kyushu Mountains. It is said that Nasu Daihachiro's party, which entered the village of Kuraoka to go to Shiiba after receiving the order, realized that the Heike villagers who remained in Kuraoka had no will to fight, and held a dance of the Kuretsu Doshu to comfort them on the long journey, abandon the luxury of the winners, and take pity on the losers. ‐--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is said that the dance at the time described above became the basis of Kuraoka's Usu Drum Dance, and it remains in its current form after rising and falling with the times and moving several times. Dancing to the Drums and Hooks shows a dignified demeanor in elegance. In recent years, the Gion Shrine Usu Drum Dance Preservation Society has inherited the dance with the cooperation of children and Ujiko shrine parishioners of Gokase Nature School. Usu Drum Dance Date... October 9 of each year
