Ōzan Kofun Cluster

Ōzan Kofun Cluster (王山古墳群, Ōzan Kofun gun) is a group of kofun burial mounds located in what is now the Hinode area of the city of Sabae, Fukui in the Hokuriku region of Japan. The site was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1967. Overview The Ōzan Kofun Cluster is located on an isolated hill with an elevation of 62 meters near the centre of the modern city of Sabae, and consists of 49 tumuli dating to the late Yayoi period through the early Kofun period. The area was originally designated a protected area in 1942; however, after a detailed survey was conducted in 1967, it was determined that the area under protection did not include all of the site, whereas conversely a large portion of the protected area was not necessary. The borders of the area were revised and the new boundaries became a National Historic Site in 1967 A total of eleven tumuli were excavated in 1965 (No. 1–7, 9, 25, 31 and 32), of which No. 1, 3, 4, and 7 were square mounds (hōfun (方墳)), eight to twelve meters on each side with a height of one to two meters, and were dated to the late Yayoi period. All of the tombs had the remnants of a wooden sarcophagus, with the exception of No. 4, which had two. All of the tombs had grave goods, mostly pottery fragments, with the exception of No.1, which was completely bare. Tomb No. 3 had goods from the Tōkai region and Kansai region of Japan, indicating the existence of long-distance trade. Tombs No. 5, 7, 9 and 25 were also square tombs, eight to fourteen meters on a side, but were dated from the early Kofun period, as indicated by the presence of fragments of swords and other weapons, and metal horse fittings found inside. Tomb No. 31 was a round tumulus with a diameter of twenty meters and a height of two meters, and Tomb No. 32 was also a round tumulus (empun (円墳)), but with a diameter of eight meters. Both were also dated to the early Kofun period, and contained many artifacts. The tomb does not appear in any historical records and the name of rank of the person buried within is unknown. It is one of many similar tumuli which have been discovered in the area, which has been densely populated since the Yayoi and Kofun periods, and from its scale it must have been the tomb of a local chieftain or other person of importance. The site is now preserved as a public park with walking trails, and is about a five-minute walk from Sabae Station on the JR West Hokuriku Main Line.

Daijō-ji

Der Daijō-ji (jap. 大乗寺) ist ein buddhistischer Tempel der Sōtō-shū in der japanischen Stadt Kanazawa (Präfektur Ishikawa). Ursprünglich gehörte der Tempel zur Shingon-shū und war in der Nähe des Dorfes Nonoichi (野々市) in der Provinz Kaga um 1261 vom lokalen Feudalherren Togashi Iehisa (富樫家尚) erbaut worden. Infolge des sogenannten Streits um die Nachfolge in der dritten Generation innerhalb der Sōtō-shū verließ Tettsū Gikai (徹通義介; 1219–1309) den Eihei-ji und bezog mit Hilfe des ehemaligen Daruma-shū-Anhängers Chōkai sowie der Unterstützung durch einen befreundeten Zweig der Fujiwara-Familie den Daijō-ji (um 1292). Wegen Gikais guter Beziehungen zur Shingon-shū erhielt er bald die Erlaubnis, den Tempel zu einem Zen-Kloster zu konvertieren, was im Jahr 1293 geschah. In den folgenden Jahrzehnten entwickelte sich der Tempel zum Zentrum der mittelalterlichen Sōtō-Bewegung in Japan. 1303 wurde Keizan Jōkin nach der Abdankung Gikais zweiter Vorsteher am Daijō-ji und entfaltete während seiner Amtszeit von hier aus starke Aktivitäten in den nordöstlichen Provinzen des Landes. Sein Nachfolger wurde Meihō Sotetsu (明峰素哲; 1277–1350). Im Jahr 1697 wurde der Tempel unter der Schirmherrschaft der Familie Toda, deren Oberhäupter mächtige Gefolgsleute der Familie Maeda stellten, an seinen jetzigen Standort verlegt. Die 1702 fertiggestellte Buddhahalle (仏殿, Butsuden) wurde am 2. Juni 1983 zu einem Wichtigen Kulturgut Japans ernannt. Literatur Heinrich Dumoulin: Geschichte des Zen-Buddhismus. Band II: Japan.

Shingū ruins

The Shingū ruins (真宮遺跡, Shingū iseki) archaeological site containing a ruins of a village complex which was inhabited from the late Jōmon period through the Kamakura period, located in the Shingū neighborhood of the city of Okazaki, Aichi in the Tōkai region of Japan. It was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1976. Overview The Shingū site is located on a river terrace of the Yahagi River near its conjunction with the Oto River. The site was discovered in 1973. The ruins cover a wide area of 40,000 square meters and has only been partially excavated.

Artifacts included a large number of items, with including earthenware and stoneware shards, ceremonial stone swords, and clay figurines from the Yayoi period. Sue ware and pottery from the Kofun and Heian periods were also found. The ruins are valuable in that they present a record of continuous occupation from the Jōmon through Kamakura periods. Excavations were carried out more than a dozen times from 1974 when the site was endangered by a nearby housing development. It is currently backfilled by one meter of earth to protect the ruins, but an archaeological park has been established with six reproductions of residences from the late Jōmon period, 30 earthenware tombs from the Yayoi period and one square tomb from the Kofun period. In the past, most of the excavated items were displayed at the Okazaki City Folk Museum, but are now stored at the Okazaki City Museum of Art.

Mawaki Site

The Mawaki Site (真脇遺跡, Mawaki iseki) is an archaeological site with the ruins of a Jōmon period settlement in the Mawaki neighborhood of the city of Noto, Ishikawa in the Hokuriku region of Japan. The site was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1989. Overview The Mawaki Site is located at the back of a small cove on the Noto Peninsula surrounded by hills on three sides, overlooking Toyama Bay. It is one of the largest Jōmon archaeological sites in the Hokuriku region and contains the site of a settlement which was continuously occupied over a 4000-year period from the beginning to the end of the Jōmon period. In an archaeological excavation conducted over a four-year period from 1987 an enormous number of artifacts were discovered, and the site was found to have clearly defined stratigraphic layers facilitating dating. The relics included an abundance of animal bones (especially dolphins), plant remains, as well as engraved pillars, rope, knitted materials, masks, the foundation posts for large raised-floor buildings, and pit dwellings. The site also contained an unparalleled range of pottery from every portion of the Jōmon period, and also all the Jōmon pottery forms known to have existed in the Hokuriku region, as well as many examples from other regions in Japan, making the site of critical importance into Jōmon pottery research. In 1991, 219 items of earthenware, stone tools, bone tools, clay figurines, rock figurines, stone sticks, and other ritual items, wooden plates, and paddles were designated Important Cultural Properties. The "Mawaki-style pottery" believed to have been made at this location, has been found in Akita Prefecture and also in sites in the Kantō region. In addition, the site has a number of unique features which have not been found in other archaeological sites. These include the "Ita-shiki clay pot grave" where the body was buried after laying a board in the grave, and the "Paste floor dwelling site" where the furnace was rebuilt six times in the exact same place. In addition, site has a ring of chestnut wooden columns forming a timber circle, such as has been found at the Chikamori Site in Kanazawa. The site is now an archaeological park with the Mawaki Archaeology Museum (真脇遺跡縄文館, Mawaki iseki Jōmonkan) displaying some of the findings. In popular culture The site was featured in Insomniacs After School, a manga of Makoto Ojiro, and its adaptations.

Ishikawa Prefectural Library

The Ishikawa Prefectural Library (石川県立図書館, Ishikawa Kenritsu Toshokan) is a four-floor, amphitheater-shaped public library in Kanazawa, the capital of Ishikawa Prefecture of Japan. Designed by the Environmental Design Institute, it has a capacity of 300,000 books, with 70,000 of them shelved cover-forward in its atrium. In 2025, the library reported a million visitors in the 2024 fiscal year, a 16% increase from its opening fiscal year, making it the most visited prefectural library in all of Japan for two years in a row. The same year, it surpassed 3 million total visitors ever since its opening. It has also received numerous accolades including an iF Design Award in 2024, as well as an Architectural Arts and Crafts Association of Japan Award, and a Chubu Architecture Award. History The old Ishikawa Prefectural Library was formerly located by Kenroku-en, having been built in 1912. Back then, it held documents of the Kaga Domain and stood in what was formerly known as the Hokuriku region, a part of Japan known for intellectualism. However, it became "run-down" and "increasingly cramped" coming into the twenty-first century. In 2017, a contest was held for design proposals on a new Ishikawa Prefectural Library. Mitsuru Senda and the designers of the Environmental Design Institute won, intending to create a library that not only held books but hosted cultural activities, preserved the heritage of Ishikawa, and served as a third space of sorts for residents. As a result, a new Ishikawa Prefectural Library was built and then opened in July 2022 three kilometers away where Kanazawa University's College of Engineering used to be. In addition to its capacity of 300,000 books, it also provides over 500 seats, as well as numerous venues for hosting talks, workshops, and handicraft-making. Upon its opening, the Ishikawa Prefectural Library held a "special science exhibition" in collaboration with the National Museum of Nature and Science to showcase the skeletons of dinosaurs, prehistoric fossils, and informational panels. It has also hosted events for anime, including Love Live!, as well as relief events in wake of the 2024 Noto earthquake. References
