Daigo-ji

Daigo-ji (醍醐寺, 'Daigo-ji'?) es un templo budista Shingon de Fushimi-ku, Kioto, Japón. Su objeto de devoción principal (gohonzon) es Bhaisajyaguru, el Buda de la Medicina. Daigo, literalmente "ghi", se usa de manera figurativa como metáfora de los pensamientos más profundos de la religión budista y significa "lo mejor de lo mejor".​ Historia Daigo-ji fue fundado en el año 874, a principios del período Heian, por Rigen-daishi (Shōbō).​ Después de haber caído enfermo y abdicado en el año 930, el emperador Daigo entró al templo como monje budista, para lo cual se cambió el nombre a Hō-kongō; falleció poco después, a los cuarenta y seis años de edad. El nombre del templo fue cambiado a Daigo y el antiguo emperador fue sepultado en el lugar.​ Tesoros nacionales Varias estructuras, incluyendo el kondō y la pagoda de cinco niveles, son Tesoros nacionales de Japón. El templo posee dieciocho tesoros nacionales diseñados de manera específica, incluyendo los edificios y otros lugares, y alberga varias docenas de bienes culturales importantes. Las pinturas sobre las paredes han sido estudiadas por académicos y en 1960 obtuvieron el Premio Imperial de la Academia Japonesa, uno de los honores más prestigiosos de la nación.​ Como parte de los "Monumentos históricos de la antigua Kioto", es considerado un Patrimonio de la Humanidad. La pagoda de cinco niveles del templo se construyó en 951 y es el edificio más antiguo de Kioto. Es una de las pocas estructuras que sobrevivió a la Guerra de Ōnin en el siglo XV. Jardín Más de siete siglos después de su fundación, Toyotomi Hideyoshi celebró un famoso evento de observación de cerezos en 1598 en el subtemplo Sambō-in.​ Los colores brillantes de las hojas de los árboles atraen a turistas y locales en la temporada de otoño. El mausoleo del Emperador Suzaku, conocido como Daigo no misasagi, se encuentra en las cercanías de Daigo-ji. Referencias Bibliografía Brown, Delmer and Ichiro Ishida, eds. (1979).

Daigo-ji

Daigo-ji (jap. 醍醐寺) – buddyjski kompleks świątynny w Kioto, w Japonii, usytuowany w dzielnicy Fushimi. Kompleks należy do gałęzi Shingon buddyzmu i jest poświęcony uzdrawiającemu aspektowi Buddy, Yakushi Nyorai jako honzon (główny obiekt kultu w świątyni, zwykle budda lub bodhisattwa). Został utworzony w 874 roku przez mnicha o imieniu Shōbō (pośmiertnie Rigen-daishi), który nadał mu nazwę Daigo, odnoszącą się do pięciu stopni nauczania Buddy. Kompleks składa się z 70 drewnianych budynków, z których 18 jest uznanych za Skarb Narodowy Japonii. Obiekt jako całość jest wpisany na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO jako jedno z 17 miejsc w starożytnym Kioto (Kioto, Uji i Ōtsu). Kompleks składa się z trzech zasadniczych części: Shimo-Daigo (dolna Daigo) i Kami-Daigo (górna) oraz Sanbō-in (三宝院 Sanbō-in). Duży wkład w rozwój klasztoru włożyli cesarze Daigo, Suzaku i Murakami. W 907 roku na polecenie cesarza Daigo zbudowano pawilon Yakushi-dō, który był głównym budynkiem górnej świątyni, a obecnie jest uznawany za Skarb Narodowy Japonii. Dolna świątynia Shimo-Daigo zaczęła być budowana od 926 roku – od momentu, gdy klasztor został ufundowany przez cesarza. W tym to roku cesarz Daigo zbudował główny złoty pawilon (Kondō). Budynek spłonął dwukrotnie. Obecny jest przeniesiony z miasta Yuasa w prefekturze Wakayama. Był zaplanowany na zlecenie Hideyoshiego Toyotomiego, a dokończony przez jego syna Hideyoriego w 1600 roku. Z okresu panowania cesarzy Suzaku i Murakamiego pochodzi kolejny budynek należący do skarbów narodowych – pięciopiętrowa pagoda, uważana za najstarszy istniejący zachowany budynek w Kioto. Budowa pagody została rozpoczęta przez cesarza Suzaku, najstarszego syna cesarza Daigo w 936 roku w celu uczczenia duszy Daigo. Pagodę ukończono w 951 roku za panowania Murakamiego. Trzecia, najmłodsza część kompleksu świątyni – Sanbō-in (三宝院 Sanbō-in) – została zbudowana w okresie Azuchi-Momoyama. Większość budynków i ogrody datują się na XVI wiek. W 1598 roku Hideyoshi Toyotomi przebudował klasztor i przearanżował ogrody świątyni, która stała się obecnie jedną z najważniejszych świątyń odłamu Shingon.

Daikaku-ji

Der Daikaku-ji (japanisch 大覚寺) ist ein buddhistischer Tempel im Stadtteil Sagano (嵯峨野) im Bezirk Ukyō-ku der japanischen Stadt Kyōto und ein Haupttempel der Shingon-shū. Er wurde im Jahr 876 begründet. Übersicht Die Ursprünge des Tempels gehen ins Jahr 814 zurück, als der Saga-tennō einen Palast, den Saga-in, auf dem Grundstück des heutigen Tempels bauen ließ. Der Palast wurde später zu einer kaiserlichen Villa (Saga-rikyū), die schließlich im Jahr 876 von Masako-naishinnō (正子内親王; 810–879), dritte Tochter des Saga-tennō und Gemahlin des Junna-tennō, zum Tempel unter dem Namen Daikaku-ji umgestaltet wurde. Vorsteher des Tempels war von Anfang an ein Prinz des Kaiserhauses, was den Daikaku-ji zum System der Monzeki (門跡) gehören lässt. Im 13. und 14. Jahrhundert kam der Daikaku-ji zu einigem Ruhm, da mehrere abgedankte Tennō (u. a. Go-Saga, Kameyama und Go-Uda) sich zu Mönchen ordinieren ließen und diesen Tempel zu ihrem Wohnort machten, einige regierten sogar hinter den Kulissen weiter. Im Jahr 1336, während des chaotischen Übergangs der Kamakura-Zeit in die Muromachi-Zeit wurde der Daikaku-ji vollständig niedergebrannt, später aber unter der Herrschaft der Ashikaga wieder aufgebaut.

Tano Site

The Tano Site (田能遺跡, Tano iseki) is an archaeological site with the traces of a Yayoi period settlement straddling the border between the cities of Amagasaki and Itami, Hyōgo Prefecture, in the Kansai region of Japan. It was designated a National Historic Site in 1969. Overview The Tano Site was discovered in 1965, when a large amount of Yayoi pottery was discovered during the construction of the Sonoda Water Distribution Station for industrial water by the three cities of Amagasaki, Itami, and Nishnomiya and the resultant archaeological excavation found wooden and jar coffin tombs in addition to the remains of pit dwellings. Of particular interest was the discovery of wooden coffins. Since wood is easily rotten, the custom of wooden coffin burial in the Yayoi period, which had been speculated until then, was confirmed for the first time. Human bones were also found in one of the wooden coffins during the first excavation. The ruins are located near the old Ina River channel at an altitude of about 7 meters on the Nishisetsu Plain, and cover an area of 115 meters from east to west and more than 120 meters from north to south. In addition to the traces of four circular pit dwellings from the middle Yayoi period, and were countless small pits with pillar holes, it is presumed that the period pillar buildings coexisted with pit dwellings. Recovered artifacts include pottery, stone tools such as stone axes, bronze products, iron products, and the mould for casting a bronze sword. Initially, after the survey, it was planned to proceed with the construction of the water distribution station as planned and destroy the ruins, but as a result of the growing movement to preserve the ruins, it was decided to preserve the site. Since then, the ruins have been reconstructed three-dimensionally, including raised-floor warehouses, dwellings, and burial mounds, and the recovered artifacts are displayed at the Amagasaki City Tano Museum (尼崎市立田能資料館, Amagasaki shiritsu tanōshiryōkan) which opened in 1970 on site.

Village ninja de Kôka

Le Village ninja de Kôka (甲賀の里忍術村, « le Village de la naissance du Ninjutsu de Kôka ») est un supposé ancien centre de formation ninja, utilisé depuis 1983 comme centre d'animation sur l'univers ninja en général. C'est un des facteurs d'identité le plus important de la ville (Ninjaemon, la mascotte de la ville, est un ninja), et c'est l'argument touristique principale de la ville de Kôka, terre de naissance du ninjutsu (fin du XVe siècle). De nombreux événements y sont organisés tout au long de l'année (miss Kunoichi, Ninja de l'année, , etc.) et plusieurs activités y sont proposées : mizugumo, lancer de shuriken, escalade, visite d'une réplique de maison ninja, passages secrets, , etc. Cet endroit se veut à la fois un espace de divertissement avec les nombreuses activités proposées, mais le côté authenticité et véracité historique occupe également une place importante, notamment grâce à la présence d'un musée et d'une ancienne authentique maison ninja (située plus loin dans la ville).

Hyakusai-ji

Hyakusai-ji (百済寺) is a Buddhist temple in the Hyakusaiji neighborhood of the city of Higashiōmi, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. It belongs to the Tendai school of Japanese Buddhism, and together with Kongōrin-ji and Saimyō-ji is regard as one of the "Three Great Temples" east of Lake Biwa. It was designated a National Historic Site in 2008. History Hyakusai-ji is located on the western flank of the Suzuka Mountains, east of Lake Biwa. According to the temple, Prince Shotoku erected this temple in 606 AD after his tutor from Goguryeo, the monk Hyeja, found a cedar tree in the mountains glowing with a mysterious light. The prince carved an image of an eleven-faced Kannon Bosatsu directly into the living wood of the tree and had a hall built around it. Although Hyeja was from Goguryeo, the temple is named after the Korean kingdom of Baekje as the layout of the temple was patterned after the temple of Ryuun-ji in that kingdom. However, the first appearance of the temple in the historical documentation is from 1089 AD, so it is uncertain to what extent the temple legend of its connection with Prince Shotoku reflects actual historic facts. During the Heian period, as with many temples in Ōmi Province, it came under the influence of Enryaku-ji and Hyakusai-ji became a temple of the Tendai sect. Through the Kamakura period, the temple was a huge establishment, with over 1000 chapels spread across numerous mountain valleys. The temple suffered from a severe fire in 1498, and only a few years later, in 1503, it was almost razed completely during a conflict between the Ōmi shugo Rokkaku Takayori and the shugodai Iba Tadataka. These two fires destroyed all of the ancient buildings and Buddhist statues, but also all of the temple's records and documents of its founding. The temple eventually recovered, and the Jesuit missionary Luis Frois commented about the temple's prosperity during a visit. In 1573, the temple was again the center of a conflict, this time between Rokkaku Yoshikata and Oda Nobunaga and its main hall was again destroyed. This hall was rebuilt in 1584 by Hori Hidemasa. In 1602, with the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, the temple was awarded a kokudaka of 146 koku for its upkeep. This was increased by another 100 koku in 1617 by Shogun Tokugawa Hidetada. From 1634 through 1650 most of the buildings of the temple were reconstructed by Ryosuke, a disciple and younger brother of the archpriest Tenkai, with the assistance of Hikone Domain, and many of these structures survive to this day, including the current Hondō, which is a National Important Cultural Property. The temple is approximately ten minutes by car from Yōkaichi Station on the Ohmi Railway.

Ishinokarato Kofun

Ishinokarato Kofun (石のカラト古墳) is a burial mound, located on the border of the Kabutodai neighborhood of the city of Kizugawa, Kyoto and the Jingū neighborhood of the city of Nara in the Kansai region of Japan. The tumulus was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1996. On the Kyoto Prefecture side, it is referred to as the Kazahahi Kofun (カザハヒ古墳). Overview Ishinokarato Kofun is located on a terraced flat area on the eastern slope of the Heijōyama Hills in the northern outskirts of Heijō-kyō, the capital of Japan in the Nara period. It has a very unusual design known as a Joenkahofun (上円下方墳) in that the tumulus its lower stage is square hōfun (ほうふん)-style base upon which a circular enpun (円墳)-style mound is built. The tumulus thus resembles a Chinese-style chest, or "Karato". The tumulus is built of tramped earth, with the lower tier measuring 13.8 meters on each side, and two meters in height. The upper tier is 9.2 meters in diameter and 1.6 meters high. Fukiishi, consisting of river stones, protect the surface and drainage facilities such as culverts and drainage ditches are provided around the mound, but most of the fukiishi on the upper stage have been lost. The burial facility is a horizontal-entry stone burial chamber opening to the south. The stone coffin is similar to that of the Takamatsuzuka Kofun and is 1.4 by 2.6 meters, with a height of 1.06 meters. The tomb was robbed in pre-modern times so no grave goods remained, but per an archaeological excavation in 1979, lacquer fragments (possibly a lacquered coffin), as well as one gold ball, one silver ball, three silver-adorned sword fittings, pieces of gold leaf, and were found inside the stone coffin, and Sue ware pottery was also found in the passageway. The Ishinokarato Kofun is estimated to have been built in the early 8th century, in the Asuka Period, after the end of the Kofun period. Although the identity of the person buried here is unknown, it is believed to be the tomb of an aristocrat from around the early Nara period. It has now been restored to its original appearance and maintained as a park. It is about a 20-minute walk from Takanohara Station on the Kintetsu Kyoto Line.

Kamikura-jinja

Le Kamikura-jinja (神倉神社) est un sanctuaire shinto situé à Shingū (préfecture de Wakayama), sur le flanc du mont Gongen. Il fait partie des routes du pèlerinage de Kumano. Légende Selon la légende, lorsqu'elles sont descendues du ciel, les divinités de Kumano ont atterri sur le rocher Gotobiki (ゴトビキ岩, Gotobiki-iwa), qui est devenu l'objet du sanctuaire. Organisation spatiale Un escalier raide de 538 marches irrégulières en pierre mène au sanctuaire et au rocher sacré. À la base de celui-ci se trouve un petit bâtiment. Le sanctuaire offre une belle vue de la baie de Shingū. Festival L'Oto matsuri (お燈祭り) se tient dans le sanctuaire chaque 6 février. Environ deux mille hommes, tous habillés de blanc, descendent rapidement l'escalier du sanctuaire en portant des torches enflammées. D’après une chanson traditionnelle, cela donne l'impression qu'un dragon descend de la montagne. Le festival est un rite de purification, accompagné de prières pour une bonne récolte. La montagne est interdite aux femmes le jour du festival. Ses participants ne mangent que des aliments blancs le 6 février. Le festival a été désigné par le gouvernement japonais comme bien culturel folklorique intangible important en 2016. Il aurait commencé vers 600 ap. J.-C..
