Maishima

Maishima (舞洲) is an artificial island located in Konohana-ku, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture Japan. The area is about 220 hectares. One of the three artificial island districts that was the subject of the "Technoport Osaka" plan formulated in 1988 with the aim of developing a new city center. Geography Maishima is an artificial island located in Osaka Kohoku Port in the western part of Osaka. Administratively, it belongs to Konohana-ku, and two district names, Hokkoryokuchi and Hokkoshiratsu, are set. The island is connected to the outside of the island by three road bridges, which are connected to Tsuneyoshi by the Tsuneyoshi Bridge in the north, Hokuko by the Konohana Bridge in the east, and Yumeshima by the Yumemai Bridge in the south. Maishima is positioned as a logistics/environmental zone on the east side and a sports/recreation zone on the west side. History In July 1972, it was decided to approve a project to reclaim the water surface of this Hana Ward land as a waste treatment and landfill, and to create public land such as pier land, park green space, and revetment. The name of the reclaimed land, which is currently nicknamed "Maishima," is "North Kohoku District." In 1987, the "North Kohoku District" completed the acceptance of waste. The development plan for the coastal area, which began to be considered in 1983 as a project to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Osaka municipal organization (1989 is the 100th anniversary of the municipal organization), was formulated as the "Technoport Osaka" concept. In this concept, it was planned to develop cultural recreation facilities in the northern Kohoku district and achieve a scale of 10,000 employees and 22,000 daytime population in 2010. In 1991, the nickname "Maishima" was established by open recruitment (Sakishima and Yumeshima are also named at the same time). Since 1990, there has been a plan to make Maishima a "sports island" where sports facilities are concentrated, and there was also a plan to establish an artificial ski resort and golf course. Facilities were improved for the 52nd National Athletic Meet in 1997, and Maishima Baseball Stadium (softball baseball), Ookini Arena Maishima (basketball), and Maishima Stadium (hockey) became match venues. Maishima was the main venue for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games Bid Plan (Osaka Olympic Games Plan), which has been underway since the end of the 1990s. However, at the 2001 IOC Session, the venue was decided to be Beijing and was rejected (selection of the venue for the 2008 Summer Olympics). After the failure to attract the Olympics, the utilization of undeveloped land will be an issue. Starting with the professional soccer club Cerezo Osaka setting up a practice field, the professional baseball team Orix Buffaloes has set up a training base and a farm team base, and the professional basketball team Osaka Evessa also has a training base.

Namura Shrine

Namura Shrine (苗村神社) is a Shinto shrine located in the town of Ryūō, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. The shrine has many structures from the Muromachi period or older which are designated either National Treasures (NT) or Important Cultural Properties (ICP). Although the shrine holds annual festivals, the shrine's main festival is held only once every 33 years. History The foundation of the shrine is uncertain. Per the shrine's own legend, it was founded during the time of the semi-legendary Emperor Suinin (who reigned 29 BC to 70 AD per the traditional calendar). The Higashi-Honden is built on the grounds of the Higashi Namura Kofun cluster, a group of Kofun period burial mounds dating from around the 6th century AD. The shrine first appears in documentary records in the Engishiki listing of Shinto shrines in Ōmi Province, compiled in 927 AD. In 969 AD, it was recorded that the kami of Mount Kinpu from Yamato Province, Kunisatsuchi-no-mikoto was enshrined in a new main shrine building at the Namura Jinja. This new building was designated the "Nishi-Honden", whereas the original main building was renamed the Higashi-Honden. As this shrine was designated for the supply of pine sprigs for use in making kadomatsu as part of the new year's rituals at the Imperial Palace from 1017 AD, the shrine was given the name of Namura Jinja by Emperor Go-Ichijō. In 1536, Emperor Go-Nara awarded the shrine an official rank of Senior First Court Rank. During the Tenshō era (1573–1593), Oda Nobunaga presented the shrine with a saddle and a sword. In 1881, following the Meiji restoration and the establishment of the Modern system of ranked Shinto shrines under State Shinto, the shrine was officially designated a "county shrine". It was promoted to the rank of "prefectural shrine" in 1920. Namura Jinja is a 15-minute drive from Ōmi-Hachiman Station on then JR West Biwako Line. Cultural Properties Nishi-Honden (西本殿) Kamakura period (1308), three ken wide, nagare-zukuri-style with a one ken step canopy and hinoki cypress bark shingles. Designated a National Treasure in 1955. Designation includes a ridge tag with information on the building's construction and one miniature shrine Hachiman-sha (八幡社) mid-Muromachi period, Designated an Important Cultural Property in 1904. Juzenshi-sha (十禅師社) mid-Muromachi period, Designated an Important Cultural Property in 1971. Mikoshiko (神輿庫) Muromachi period (1536), Designated an Important Cultural Property in 1971.

Hebizuka Kofun

Hebizuka Kofun (蛇塚古墳) was a Kofun period keyhole-shaped burial mound, located in the Uzumasa Omokage-cho neighborhood of Ukyō-ku the city of Kyoto in the Kansai region of Japan. The tumulus was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1977. Along with the other kofun in the Sagano-Uzumasa region from around the end of the 6th century to the beginning of the 7th century, it is thought to be connected to the Hata clan, a clan of toraijin immigrants whose stronghold was in this area. Overview The Hebizuka Kofun was a zenpō-kōen-fun (前方後円墳), which is shaped like a keyhole, having one square end and one circular end, when viewed from above. It is located in the Sagano-Uzumasa region of the Yamashiro Basin, where many kofun from the 6th century onwards are concentrated, including four large keyhole-shaped tumuli: Hebizuka Kofun, Amatsuka Kofun, Taruyama Kofun (under Imperial Household Agency protection) and the Shimizuyama Kofun (now destroyed). The Hebizuka Kofun is the largest late-Kofun period tumulus in Kyoto Prefecture, and is known for its horizontal-entry stone burial chamber made of megaliths. Until around 1920, part of the mound remained, but due to urban encroachment, now only the stone burial chamber remains. The outlines of the tumulus can still be discerned by the spacial arrangement of residential houses surrounding the burial chamber, and it is estimated to have had a total length of about 75 meters. The burial chamber opens to the southeast, and the total length of the burial chamber including the passage is 17.8 meters; the burial chamber proper is 3.8 by 6.8 meters wide and 5 meters high. Both the side and back walls are made of huge stones in two or three tiers, and all but one of the ceiling stones has been lost. The burial chamber of this tumulus is comparable to that of Ishibutai Kofun in Asuka, making it the fourth largest in Japan; however, whereas the Ishibuta Kofun's burial chamber is made from granite, the Hebizuka Kofun is made from chert. It is thought to date back to the 7th century. Historical records indicate that a house-shaped stone sarcophagus was once located inside the burial chamber, but this is now gone. No grave goods are known to have been found, an no archaeological excavation has been conducted to date. Currently, access to the burial chamber is restricted. The Hebizuka Kofun is about a seven-minute walk from Katabiranotsuji Station on the Keifuku Electric Railway.

Nishinomiya Battery

The Nishinomiya Battery (西宮砲台, Nishinomiya hōdai) was a Bakumatsu period coastal artillery battery erected by the Tokugawa shogunate on the coast of Osaka Bay of what is now the Nishihato-cho neighborhood of the city of Nishinomiya, Hyōgo Prefecture in the Kansai region of Japan. Its ruins were designated a National Historic Site in 1922. Background In the late Edo period, the Tokugawa shogunate was increasing alarmed by incursions by foreign ships into Japanese territorial waters, fearing that these kurofune warships of the United States or other Western powers would attempt to end Japan's self-imposed national isolation policy by force, or would attempt an invasion of Japan by landing hostile military forces. Numerous feudal domains were ordered to establish fortifications along their coastlines with shore artillery located at strategic locations. The most critical locations were perceived to be at Edo Bay, where the shogunal capital was situated, and Osaka Bay, which controlled the seaward approaches to the imperial capital of Kyoto. Matters were rendered critical when a Russian warship appeared in Osaka Bay in 1854. Construction of this battery began in 1863 and was completed in 1866.The design of the fortification was by Katsu Kaishū, who supervised the construction with the assistance of the nearby Kobe Naval Training Center. The design was a cylindrical bastion with a height of 12 meters, inner diameter of 17 meters, and a wall thickness of 1.53 meters at the bottom, tapering to 1.21 meters at the top. The exterior walls are plastered, and the interior is arranged into three stories. The ground floor was tamped earth, with a central pit for gun barrel cooling with a well, and a slab-floored gunpowder magazine. The second floor was wooden, and had 11 cannons, with one additional port left open on the north side to permit the receiving of instructions from outside. Granite for the walls of the structure were quarried on islands offshore Okayama Prefecture. After completion, the bastion was tested once with cannons firing blank charges. However, it was immediately discovered that the inside of the structure filled with smoke, rendering it useless in combat, and it was never used again. The structure was partially destroyed by a fire in 1884, and the property was sold by the Imperial Japanese Army in the early 1900s to the Hanshin Electric Railway. The bastion is located in Omaehama Park, roughly halfway between Nishinomiya Port in the east and the Shukugawa River in the west, 2.3 kilometers south of Hankyu Shukugawa Station.

Imakumano Kannon-ji

Der Imakumano Kannon-ji (jap. 今熊野観音寺) oder kurz auch Kannon-ji (観音寺) ist ein buddhistischer Tempel im Stadtbezirk Higashiyama-ku von Kyōto in Japan. Der Tempel ist mit der Glaubensrichtung Shingon-shū assoziiert. Hauptbildnis des Tempels ist eine Statue der elfköpfigen Kannon. Der Imkumano Kannon-ji ist der 15. Tempel des Saigoku-Pilgerweges (西国三十三箇所, Saigoku sanjūsankasho). Überblick Historische Belege für die Gründung des Imakumano Kannon-ji fehlen. Der Tempelüberlieferung zufolge soll der Tempel durch den Mönch Kūkai in der Daidō-Periode (806–810) als Kannon-ji gegründet worden sein. In der Anfangszeit wurde der Imakumano Kannon-ji vor allem durch den Staatsmann Fujiwara no Otsugu gefördert. Kaiser Go-Shirakawa benannte den Tempel in Shin Nachisan Kannon-ji (新那智山観音寺) um und nannte die Umgebung des Tempels Imakumano, woraus schließlich der heutige Name des Tempels entstand. Zusammen mit dem in der Nähe liegenden Imakumano-Schrein diente der Imakumano Kannon-ji dem Kult der Kumano-Gottheiten im mittelalterlichen Kyōto. Der Tempel wurde fast vollständig während des Ōnin-Kriegs zerstört. Die heutige Haupthalle stammt aus dem Jahr 1712. Das Gebet zur Kannon-Statue des Imakumano Kannon-ji soll Kaiser Go-Shirakawa von starken Kopfschmerzen befreit haben. Seit dieser Zeit genießt der Besuch im Tempel daher den Ruf, die Genesung von Krankheiten, insbesondere Kopfschmerzen und Migräne, zu fördern. Der Imakumano Kannon-ji ist eng verbunden mit dem benachbarten Sennyū-ji, auf dessen Gelände sich die Grabstätten der Kaiser Go-Horikawa und Kōmei befinden.

Imakumano Kannon-ji

Imakumano Kannon-ji (今熊野観音寺) is a Buddhist temple located in the Yamauchicho, Sennyuji, neighborhood of Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto, Japan. It belongs to the Shingon-shū Sennyūji-ha sect of Japanese Buddhism and its honzon (central image) is a hibutsu (concealed / secret image) statue of Jūichimen Kannon.The temple's full name is Shin-Nachisan Kannon-ji (新那智山 観音寺). The temple is the 15th stop on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage route. The official temple name is Kannon-ji, but it is commonly known as "Imakumano." History The origin of this temple is uncertain. According to the temple's own legend, in 807, the year after Kūkai returned to Japan from studying in Tang China, he spotted a light emanating from Higashiyama. Curious, he came to the area, and Kumano Gongen appeared to him in the form of an old man. Kumano Gongen presented him with a 3.5 cm statue of the Jūichimen Kannon which had been carved by Amaterasu (the Shinto sun goddess). Kumano Gongen then instructed him to build a temple on the site. Kūkai then carved a statue of Jūichimen Kannon, and placed the smaller statue within it. He constructed the temple as instructed with the support of Emperor Saga from 812, and the temple was completed by the Tenchō era (824-833). Furthermore, at the request of the Sadaijin Fujiwara no Otsugu, a large scale expansion of the temple was started, and was completed by his son Fujiwara no Harutsu in 855 as Hōrin-ji (法輪寺). The residence of Kiyohara Motosuke, a poet of the mid-Heian period and father of Sei Shōnagon, is said to have been located near the temple grounds. In the late Heian period, this area came to be called Imakumano, to distinguish it from the Kumano Sanzan in Kii Province. During the reign of Emperor Shirakawa, it flourished as a center of Imakumano Shugendō, and the temple's name came to be known as Higashiyama Kannon-ji. Emperor Goshirakawa was a devout follower of the Kumano cult, but because Kumano in Kii Province was far away and inaccessible, in 1160, he enshrined the Kumano Gongen deity at this temple as the honjibutsu of the temple's principal image, bestowed the sangō "Shin-Nachisan". The cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa claimed to have been cured of his chronic headaches by prayers at this temple, and thus the Imakumano Kannon-ji has come to be revered by the general public as the "Kannon who cures headaches". The area southwest of the temple had long been a burial ground for aristocrats, and as a result, Kannon-ji held many of the aristocrats' funerals and memorial services. Emperor Go-Horikawa's mausoleum is adjacent to the southeast of the temple. The temple burned down during the turmoil of the Nanboku-chō period and the Ōnin War, but it was rebuilt each time. A full restoration was completed in 1580. The current main hall was rebuilt in 1712. Photos of the temple grounds Access The temple is approximately a 20-minute walk from Tofukuji Station on either the JR West Nara Line or the Keihan Railway.
