Japanese Culture

Sadou

I think Sadou is a nice Japanese culture. So I researched about Sadou.
Sadou is boil powdered green tea and then flow to guest. It is an art. Originally, it was called “Cyatou” or “Cyanoyu”. The act is considered general art. The custom of drinking tea came from China. Then tea ceremony began in Japan.“Wabi” is a style of how to drink tea. Its mean is austere beauty and it was completed by Sennorikyu in the Adsuchi-Momoyama era. There are a lot of ways to drink tea.
Next, I would like to introduce about tools. We need teacup, kettle, dipper, ChaSen, Fukusa, fan, Kaishi and so on. Kettle is used to boil water. Dipper is used to pour boiled water. ChaSen makes Japanese tea. We use it by drawing the round in the teacup. Fukusa folds some goods. We put Japanese-style confectionery on Kaishi.
As a whole, Sadou values etiquette very much. So it was influence from characteristic of Japanese. I learned Sadou when I was high school student. So I thought learning Sadou becomes very nice experience to you.

New Zealand

Animal

New Zealand has abundant nature. In there, many animals live. I’d like to introduce about one of these.
Do you know alpaca? It comes under the bovine, camel family. Its body is smaller than camel and don’t have any humps. In fact, alpaca lives in the Andes Mountains in South America. Llama is kept to carry baggies however alpaca is kept to shear wool.Alpaca is very coward and shy animal. They don’t harm human. Alpaca’s hair calls “Alpaca” too. “Alpaca” is warmer than cashmere and wool. Besides, it’s soft and smooth and also light. So, “Alpaca” has a lot of good points. A six-month-old baby alpaca’s hair calls “baby Alpaca” or “clear”. It is very nice hair and expensive.
I think alpaca is very friendly animal, so you can become friends soon!

Autumn Festival

JIDAI-FESTIVAL

What is JIDAI-FESTIVAL?

It is big era picture scroll which dates back from the Meiji Period to the Heian Period and takes place from the Kyoto Imperial Palace to the Heian Shrine. The date of the festival was changed to 22nd October in annual.

What’s origin?

On the March 1895, this time falls on after 1,100 year which the relocation of the capital to Heian. In this month, the Heian Shrine was built as a shrine sacred Kanmu emperor. People thought they are going to celebrate on a large scale this. So they suggested they hold the era procession which represents change of custom. First festival was held on 25th October 1895.

The first festival’s procession is only six. But, it’s procession increased year after year. During the war, it was stopped and end of the war, it revived. Now, it was added the women procession.

Movie

I like watching movies. I go to the theater about once a month. When I watch movies, I feel happy! Movies help us the story to understand easy.

I’d like to talk about one of my favorite movie. It is “Galileo” which is Japanese movie. It is TV drama in origin. This story’s main character is Yukawa manabu as Masaharu Fukuyama. He is very clever physicist and cool. He is asked a lot of incidents by Kaoru Utsumi as Koh Shibasaki always and he solve the incidents by using chemical thinking.

Now, I want to watch “Akiresu to kame”. It is produced by Kitano Takeshi. He wrote this story and drew the picture in this movie and he plays in it.
This story described the couple’s lives about twenty years. The boy, Machisu, likes drew pictures. One day an artist visited his house, and praised his picture. The artist gave him a red beret. After that day, he dreamed to be an artist and draws pictures every day. One day, his father’s company bankruptcy and his parents killed by selves. So, his life takes a turn for the worse. He became a middle age and he is unsold artist. But His wife cheers up him and keeps his dream together.
