Tashima Shrine

Tashima Shrine is a shrine situated on Kabe Island in Yobuko Town now, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, Japan. It is located in the area known as Matsurokoku, which is believed to be the first land of the mainland of Wakoku as per Wajinden records. It is an important point for safe sea crossings to the continent, and has received significant orders from the central government since ancient times. In earlier times, it was called 'Tajima Niimasu Kaminoyashiro'. It is the only Myojin Taisha in Hizen Province, and was previously classified as Kokuhei Chusha due to renovations during the Meiji era. Currently, it is a beppyo shrine of the Association of Shinto Shrines. It is associated with Matsura Sayohime who is said to be buried on the site. Mythology According to a version of the legend of Matsura Sayohime, she prayed with such fervour that she was transformed into stone. This petrification lore of Sayohime appears to be of later development, with its earliest attestation identified as renga poet Bontōan's Sodeshita shū (c. Ōei era, late 14th to early 15th century). This lore of Sayohime's petrification is thought to have developed from a misunderstanding: a misreading of Jikkinshō (13th century), which ponders on the Sayohime legend and makes reference to the petrification motif taken from an old Chinese work called the Youminglu. Sayohime's petrification is also mentioned in Nihon meijo monogatari (1670). Her supposed petrified remains, an example of a bōfuseki (望夫石; "rock that contemplates the husband"), is housed as the shintai ("body of the kami") at the Sayohime Shrine, an undershrine of Tashima Shrine on Kabe Island. The claim regarding her petrification on this island is given in a late account of the origin of this undershrine, preserved in the 19th-century document called the Matsura komonjo (松浦古文書) (written during the Bunka era). It states that the lady did not stop at the Scarf-Waving Peak bidding farewell, but she continued to a spot from whose vantage point she beheld an island nearby. She then hopped on a fishing boat to that island, called the Himekami-jima (姫神島) island (present-day Kabe Island) where she climbed a "bit elevated spot" and there, out of sorrow, she turned intorock. Commentators identify this elevation as the Tendō-dake (天童岳) or Dentō-dake (伝登岳). See also Matsurokoku Matsura-gun Explanatory notes References Bibliography
Сиракава (река, Кюсю)

Сиракава (яп. 白川 сиракава, «белая река») — река в Японии на острове Кюсю. Протекает по территории префектуры Кумамото. Исток Сиракавы находится под горой Неко-Таке (яп. 根子岳 нэко-дакэ) в кальдере вулкана Асо, река течёт по его южной долине. В Татено, на выходе из кальдеры, в неё впадает Курокава (яп. 黒川, «чёрная река»), протекающая по северной долине кальдеры. Ниже Татено река образует конус выноса, течёт по лавовому плато и протекает через город Кумамото, в среднем течении образуя узкие террасы, после чего она впадает в залив Ариаке (яп. 有明海 ариакэ-кай, «море Ариаке») Восточно-Китайского моря. Длина реки составляет 74 км, на территории её бассейна (480 км²) проживает около 135 тыс. человек. 80 % бассейна реки расположено в кальдере Асо. Согласно японской классификации, Сиракава является рекой первого класса. У Такума, где Сиракава выходит на равнину Кумамото, река течёт через суглинок, гравий и пирокластическую глину. Левый берег реки выше, он состоит из террас, сложенных песком и гравием, принесённых рекой. Кроме этого, там откладывается и вулканический пепел, выбрасываемый Асо. Река несёт большое количество осадков из кальдеры Асо. После землетрясений количество осадка сильно увеличивается из-за оползней и разжижения грунта. Согласно вычислениям, в год река выносит в море около 250 тыс. м³ осадка. Источники в кальдере Асо питаются дождевыми водами, профильтрованными лавовыми породами. Сладковатая вода реки известна своим высоким качеством. В 1979 на реке была возведена плотина Татено, объём образовавшегося водохранилища составляет 10 000 000 м³. Крупнейшие наводнения на реке происходили в 1650, 1696, 1736, 1796, 1816, 1900, 1923 и 1953 годах. Во время наводнения 1953 года 422 человека погибло или пропало без вести, 2585 домов было полностью разрушено. C 1956 по 2012 крупные наводнения происходили трижды. В августе 1980 расход воды достиг 1500 м³/с и было затоплено 125 га земли. В июле 1990 расход воды достиг 1800 м³/с, а в июле 2012—2300 м³/с. В 2012 году дожди шли более суток, в сумме выпало 507,5 мм осадков. В результате наводнения 25 человек погибло, двое пропали без вести, 11 ранено; более 300 домов было полностью разрушено. Примечания

Tachiarai Peace Memorial Museum

The Tachiarai Peace Memorial Museum (筑前町立 大刀洗平和記念館, Chikuzen chōritsu tachiarai heiwakinenkan) is a historical museum located in the town of Chikuzen, Fukuoka, Japan. Overview The Imperial Japanese Army Air Service operated the Tachiarai Army Airfield, which was completed in October 1919. The area between the towns of Chikuzen and Tachiarai ¥ was chosen because it would serve as a relay point for air groups heading for mainland China, and because it was far from the coast and would not be affected by naval gunfire from enemy fleets. The airfield was also used for commercial aircraft from 1929 to 1936. From around 1937, the number of military facilities attached to the airfield increased, and Tachiarai Army Flight School became one of main bases for Army pilot training. In the final stages of World War II, it played a part in the defense of the homeland, including the training of kamikaze pilots, but suffered damage from air raids by the American military. After the end of the war, it was abandoned and the site was converted into farmland and part became the site of the Kirin Beer Fukuoka factory. In 1987, a local businessman purchased a renovated the old station building of Amagi Railway's Tachiarai Station on constructed museum. The prize exhibit was a Nakajima Ki-27 aircraft which had been recovered from Hakata Bay. The municipality purchased the museum and relocated it on the opposite side of Japan National Route 500 in front of the old building in 2008 and reopened it in 2009 as the Chikuzen Town Tachiarai Peace Memorial Museum. The new structure was designed to resemble an aircraft hangar, and now houses both the Nakajima Ki-27 and a Mitsubishi A6M Zero donated by the Fukuoka Aerospace Association, a group of airplane enthusiasts. The museum also displays approximately 1800 items from the war, including materials from the Tachiarai Air Raid in March 1945. The museum also has on display a Mitsubishi MH2000 helicopter, and also a full-scale replica of a Kyushu J7W Shinden which was constructed for use in the filming of the 2023 movie Godzilla Minus One. Gallery Access The museum is located near Tachiarai Station on the Amagi Railway Amagi Line, approximately one hour from central Fukuoka.

Hikosan Jingū

Hikosan Jingū (英彦山神宮) is a Shinto shrine located in Soeda, Fukuoka prefecture, Japan. Located on the boundary between Fukuoka and Oita Prefectures, Hiko-san has been venerated from ancient times as a sacred mountain. It was also a center of training for the Shugendō sect of Buddhism. The shrine is located on the Fukuoka Prefecture side of the mountain. The Jō-gu is located in the innermost part of the shrine grounds on the top of Naka-dake, the center peak of the three Hiko-san peaks. The sanctuary is said to have been built in 546. The Hōhei-den, a large lecture hall built in 1616, and the Kane-no-Torii, a bronze Shinto gateway built in 1637, have both been designated Important Cultural Properties by the Japanese government. History The shrine was originally built in 546 as a center of training for the Shugendō Yamabushi sect of Buddhism. However, the Shugendō temple was abolished by the separation of Shinto from Buddhism, introduced after the Meiji Restoration. Reisen-ji (霊泉寺), the head temple of the Tendai Buddhism, was converted into Hikosan Jinja (英彦山神社). In 1975, it was renamed and status elevated to its present name, Hikosan Jingū. It is the only Jingu in Fukuoka prefecture and is the oldest of three original sacred mountains of the Yamabushi.

Nabatake Site

Nabatake Site (菜畑遺跡, Nabatake iseki) is an archeological site with a late Jōmon period to late Yayoi period settlement located in the city of Karatsu, Saga Prefecture, Japan. Along with the Itazuke Site in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka, it is the oldest known rice-growing village site in Japan. It was designated as a National Historic Site in 1983. Overview The Nabatake Site is located at the tip of a gentle hill facing a plain at an elevation of about 10 meters, in the southwestern part of downtown Karatsu, about 2 kilometers west of Karatsu Station. The site was discovered in 1979, and archaeological excavations were carried out from December 1980. The site has clear stratification consisting of 16 layers. The remains of paddy fields were confirmed in the 12th layer, which corresponds to the latter half of the Late Jōmon period. The remains of rice paddies dating back to the middle Yayoi period were also found in the upper layers. During the latter half of the Late Jōmon period, the valley plain was covered with marshes, and evergreen broad-leaved forests grew on the hills behind it. Pollen analysis indicates that in the latter half of the Late Jōmon period, rice cultivation began in upland areas and by the end of the Late Jōmon period, had mostly displaced the marsh plants in the valley. The remains of the Jōmon portion are four small rice paddies of about 18 square meters each. A wide variety of artifacts were excavated, including wooden hoes, stone knives, stone axes, and Jōmon pottery. The pottery found was Yamanodera-type pottery, which is slightly older than the Yuusu-type pottery found at the Itazuke Site, which was previously considered the oldest. About 250 grains of carbonized rice were also excavated, and more than 100 grains were identified as of them were found to be Japonica rice. These grains were carbon dated to around 930 BC. Excavations have uncovered waterways, dams, drainage outlets, and ridge dividers made of wooden stakes and sheet piles, proving that large-scale rice paddies were operated in the early Yayoi period. Currently, the Matsurokan (末盧館) Museum, named after Matsurokoku, which is one of the countries described in Wajinden, Book of Liang and History of the Northern Dynasties, and is the first place where Cao Wei emissaries landed on the mainland, displays carbonized rice excavated from the ruins as well as other materials related to the site. The site is now open to the public as an archaeological park, with recreations of pit dwellings and rice paddy remains. It is about a five-minute drive from Karatsu Station on the JR Kyushu Karatsu Line.

Kuzuhara Kofun

Kuzuhara Kofun (葛原古墳) is a Kofun period burial mound, located in the Onizuka, Kuzuhara neighborhood of the city of Usa on the island of Kyushu, Japan. The tumulus was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1957. Overview The Kuzuhara Kofun is located in a wide open rice field on a low plateau on the left bank of the Yakan River, and was once called the Onizuka Tumulus. It is a large enpun (円墳)-style kofun, with a diameter of 53 meters and height of 6 meters built in two stages. However, there is also a theory that it was originally 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, which has lost its anterior portion. It is estimated to have been constructed from the mid to late 5th century. The top of the tumulus is a flat surface with a diameter of 10 meters, with the stone burial chamber exposed almost in the center. This was discovered by villagers in 1889 when they were clearing the top of the tumulus. The burial chamber has its main axis running north–south, and measures 2.5 meters long, 1.3 meters wide, and 1.2 meters deep. Grave goods included bronze mirrors, magatama, ironware, and armor, but the armor is particularly noteworthy, and includes a triangular plate leather-bound cuirass and a helmet, which is also accompanied by a neck armor. These are typical 5th century burial mound grave goods, but as they are different from that found in the nearby Kawabe-Takamori Kofun cluster, which was constructed from the end of the 3rd century to the middle of the 6th century, it is assumed that this tumulus was built a new ruling clan, possibly from the Kinai region. The tumulus is approximately five minutes by car from Yanagigaura Station on the JR Kyushu Nippō Main Line.
