Nii Ōshima

Nii Ōshima (新居大島), or sometimes just Ōshima (大島), is an inhabited island located roughly 1.5 kilometers northeast of the city of Niihama (which it is officially a part of) in Ehime Prefecture, Japan. Geography Nii Ōshima is located in the Seto Inland Sea. It has a circumference of approximately 8 kilometers and a total area of 2.13 square kilometres (0.82 sq mi). The island is mostly hilly, with its highest point at 146.48 meters above sea level. The northern part of the island is covered with dense forests, has many cliffs. The main settlement is in the southern part of the island. There is a ferry that runs between Nii Ōshima and Niihama approximately once every hour, taking fifteen minutes to complete a one-way journey. At one point, there was the possibility that a bridge might be built to connect Ōshima and Shikoku, but these plans are now considered unlikely. There is no public transportation on the island, but there is a road that circles the island. History Nii Ōshima was the birthplace of Murakami Yoshihiro (d.1374), founder of the "Murakami Navy", who ruled the Seto Inland Sea in the Muromachi and Sengoku period. On the southern side of the island sit the remains of Ōshima Castle, which was one of the Murakami strongholds. The island became Ōshima Village in Ehime Prefecture, with the establishment of the modern municipalities system on December 15, 1889. The village was absorbed by Niihama City on May 3, 1953. Due to its rapidly aging population and its geographic isolation from Niihama and the main island of Shikoku, Nii Ōshima faces serious problems of rural depopulation. At the time of 1950 census, the population of the island was 1838 people. However, per Niihama City residency records, the population as of March 31, 2013, was only 280, with half the population over the age of 70. The primary occupations on the island include shrimp farming and agriculture, particularly mikan and a distinctive type of white potato. References

Lee Ufan Museum

Das Lee Ufan Museum ist ein Kunstmuseum auf der japanischen Insel Naoshima, das 2010 eröffnet wurde. Es wurde speziell für den koreanisch-japanischen Künstler Lee Ufan, einem bedeutenden Vertreter der minimalistischen Mono-ha-Bewegung, konzipiert. Der Entwurf stammt von dem renommierten Architekten Tadao Andō, der auch für andere ikonische Bauwerke auf Naoshima wie das Chichu Art Museum bekannt ist. In einem sanften Tal gelegen, umgeben von Hügeln und dem Meer, bietet das Museum einen ruhigen Ort, an dem Natur, Architektur und Kunst miteinander harmonieren und zu einer friedlichen und stillen Kontemplation in einer von materiellen Gütern überfluteten Gesellschaft einladen. In der südfranzösischen Provence ist dem Künstler ein zweites Museum gewidmet, das Lee Ufan Arles. Architektur und Konzept Das halb unterirdische Gebäude besteht aus drei rechteckigen Räumen, die sich harmonisch in die Landschaft einfügen, und einem geschlossenen dreieckigen Innenhof. Der Zugang erfolgt über einen gewundenen Weg entlang paralleler Mauern, die nur eine subtile Erhebung bilden und dem Besucher eine eindringliche und meditative Erfahrung vermitteln, bevor er zu den Kunstwerken gelangt. Die Räume variieren in Materialität, Licht und Maßstab und sind auf die ausgestellten Werke abgestimmt, darunter großformatige Installationen aus Stein und Beton sowie Gemälde aus Ufan Lees früher Schaffenszeit. Das Museum kombiniert Kunst, Architektur und Natur auf einzigartige Weise und bietet einen ruhigen Rückzugsort für Besucher. Es ist Teil des größeren Kunstprojekts von Naoshima, das durch die Benesse Corporation unterstützt wird. Werke Das Museum zeigt Gemälde und Skulpturen von Lee Ufan von den 1970er Jahren bis heute. Lee Ufan war einer der führenden Persönlichkeiten der Mono-ha-Schule (Schule der Dinge), einer zeitgenössischen Kunstrichtung, die Ende der 1960er Jahre entstand. Lee Ufans Werke im Museum umfassen Gemälde mit sich wiederholenden Pinselstrichen im Rhythmus eines ruhigen Atems und Skulpturen, die Steine und Stahlplatten organisch miteinander verbinden und bei denen die Eingriffe des Künstlers auf ein Minimum reduziert sind.

Lee Ufan Museum

The Lee Ufan Museum (李禹煥美術館) is an art museum on Naoshima, an island of Japan, dedicated to the work of Korean artist Lee Ufan. The first-ever museum in the world of such a kind, it was designed as a collaboration between Japanese architect Tadao Ando and Lee himself. Design Like many Ando buildings, the Lee Ufan Museum is made with large concrete walls and designed with the interplay between light and dark, as well as nature and humankind, in mind. Its minimalism is derived both from Lee and Ando's respective relationships to the sensibility. Additionally, Lee specifically wanted the building to be more vertical, having noted that Ando typically designs more horizontally focused buildings. Located semi-underground in a valley between mountains and beside the ocean, the museum houses Lee's works in three different rooms, each with a different theme, and with different levels of light and dark. Visitors must remove their shoes upon entering. History When first approached by Soichiro Fukutake, Lee was not originally enthusiastic about the idea of establishing a museum after his work. Eventually, Ando convinced Lee to move forward with it by presenting it as a collaborative effort between the two. Of the museum, Lee told Apollo:The final result is not a space conceived by an architect, with the artwork installed in it afterwards. Not at all. Ando couldn't have done it on his own, nor could I. Our two sets of ideas were juxtaposed to create what you see. Fortunately, Ando is an old friend of mine, so there were no quarrels or disagreements. Our discussions went mysteriously smoothly.

Negoro-ji (Takamatsu)

Der Negoro-ji (japanisch 根香寺) mit dem Go Aominezan (青峯山) in der Stadt Takamatsu (Präfektur Kagawa) ist ein Tempel der Tendai-Richtung des Buddhismus. In der traditionellen Zählung ist er der 82. Tempel des Shikoku-Pilgerwegs. Geschichte Priester Kūkai fand, dass der Aomine (青峰), einer der Hauptgipfel des Goshikidai (五色台), gut geeignet war für eine Glaubensstätte des esoterischen Buddhismus. Er gründete dort einen Tempel, den er „Kazōin“ (花蔵院) nannte. Später besuchte sein Neffe Enchin (814–891) den Tempel und fertigte eine tausendarmige Kannon (千手観音, Senjū Kannon) aus dem Holz, das er im Lotustal (蓮華谷, Rengedani) gefunden hatte und errichtete dafür das Senjūin (千十院). Beide Einrichtungen zusammen wurden schließlich Negoro-Tempel genannt. Kaiser Shirakawa förderte den Tempel, später waren es die Fürsten von Takamatsu. Zu der Zeit kam der Tempel zur Tendai-Richtung des Buddhismus. Die Anlage Zu dem von Wald umgebenen Tempe gelangt man durch das Tempeltor (山門, Sammon; 1), hier als „Zwei Heiligen Tor“ (仁王門, Niōmon) ausgebildet. Über eine über 100 m lange, in Abschnitte gegliederte Treppe passiert man auf der linken Seite das Mönchsquartier mit Gästehaus. Auf der rechten Steht der Glockenturm (鐘楼, Shōrō; 5), dann ist dort die Gedenkhalle für den Tempelgründer (大師堂, Daishidō; 4). Voraus nach den letzten Stufen steht man einem Umgang [3], in dem 33000 kleine Kannon-Figuren aufgestellt sind. Über den Innenhof erreicht man die Haupthalle (本堂, Hondō; 2). Vor dem Tempel steht im Wald der „Rindsteufel“ (牛鬼, Ushi-oni; 6). Er ist so nach seinem gehörnten Rinderkopf benannt.

Negoro-ji (Takamatsu)

Negoro-ji (根香寺) est un temple bouddhiste Tendai situé à Takamatsu dans la préfecture de Kagawa au Japon. C'est le 82e des 88 temples de la route du pèlerinage de Shikoku. Localisation Le temple se trouve sur les flancs du mont Aomine, l'un des cinq sommets du plateau de Goshikidai. Histoire Selon la tradition du temple, Kōbō Daishi visita ce lieu entre 810 et 824 et reconnut dans le plateau de Goshikidai un site propice à la pratique du bouddhisme. Il fonda alors sur le mont Aomine le temple Hanazō‑in, consacré aux cinq rois de la sagesse. En 832, son neveu Chishō Daishi reçut une révélation de la divinité locale Ichinose Myōjin, lui demandant de sculpter une statue de Kannon dans le bois d'un arbre sacré. Il érigea alors un temple, le Senju‑in, et y installa la statue. Par la suite, les deux temples furent rattachés et désignés sous le nom de Negoro‑ji, à cause du parfum dégagé par le bois de la statue (Negoro-ji signifiant en français "temple de la racine parfumée"). Devenu un important centre religieux sous la protection de l'empereur retiré Go-Shirakawa (1127-1192), le temple connut une grande prospérité avant d'être détruit. Il fut ensuite reconstruit grâce aux seigneurs du domaine de Takamatsu pendant l'ère Keichō et rattaché à la secte Tendai. Le temple est également célèbre pour la légende de l'Ushi-oni, un yōkai qui terrorisait la région et aurait été vaincu par un archer. Ses cornes sont encore conservées au temple, et son image est utilisée comme talisman protecteur.

Katsurahama (beach)

Katsurahama (Japanese: 桂浜; lit. 'Katsura Beach') is a beach in Kōchi, Japan, located on Urado Bay and overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It is a local recreation spot known for its statue of Sakamoto Ryōma overlooking the beach. History Chōsokabe Motochika built Urado Castle on a hill near Katsurahama in 1591 due to floods around Okō Castle, his original residence. The castle was abandoned after Yamauchi Kazutoyo took over Tosa and moved the court to Kōchi Castle in 1603. Sakamoto Ryōma Memorial Museum now sits on the site of the ruins. In 1928, a group of youths gathered funds to place the now-famous memorial statue of Sakamoto Ryōma, a Kōchi native, on a small hill overlooking the beach. The statue and the beach itself remain popular destinations for tourists. The yosakoi melody also references Katsurahama and Urado Bay in its lyrics depicting well-known locations in Kōchi. In 1931, Katsurahama Aquarium opened nearby, moving to its present location on the beach in 1984. The area around the beach was organized as Katsurahama Park and opened on March 20, 1951. In 1971, the Kōchi city government finalized plans to designate the 22.5 hectare area as a city park. An additional concrete resting area with food services and an observation deck was constructed and opened in 2021. Transportation Katsurahama can be accessed via local Tosaden Kōtsū bus routes. A city-operated car park is located on the premises.

Urado-Brücke

Die Urado-Brücke (japanisch 浦戸大橋) ist eine Straßenbrücke in Kōchi auf der japanischen Insel Shikoku. Sie überquert den zur Urado-Bucht erweiterten Fluss Kagami an einer Engstelle kurz vor seiner Mündung in den Pazifischen Ozean und verbindet die Stadtteile Tanezaki und Urado. Die Brücke hat zwei Fahrspuren und zwei sehr schmale Gehwege, die auf der ganzen Länge mit hohen Drahtzäunen gesichert sind. Sie ist 604,2 m lang und steht 34,6 m über der Hochwasserlinie, um den Schiffsverkehr nicht zu behindern. Sie hat fünf Öffnungen mit Pfeilerachsabständen von 55,6 + 130 + 230 + 130 + 55,6 m. An sie schließt sich im Norden eine rund 303 m lange, in einer S-Kurve verlaufende Rampenbrücke an. Der Überbau der Brücke besteht aus einem gevouteten Spannbeton-Hohlkasten, dessen Konstruktionshöhe von 12,5 m an den großen Pfeilern abnimmt auf 3,5 m an den seitlichen Pfeilern und schließlich 2,4 m am südlichen Widerlager bzw. an der nördlichen Rampenbrücke.

Tamura Shrine

Tamura Jinja (田村神社) is a Shinto shrine in the Ichinomiya neighborhood of the city of Takamatsu in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is the ichinomiya of former Sanuki Province. The main festivals of the shrine are held annually on May 8 and October 8. It is located approximately 7 km south of downtown Takamatsu. The area has abundant spring water, and the shrine is based on the worship of the god of water and the shrine's inner shrine is built over a spring. The name 'Tamura' is based on locale, and has no relationship with Sakanoue no Tamuramaro like other shrines of the same name in other parts of Japan. Enshrined kami The kami enshrined at Tamura Jinja are: Yamato totohi momoso hime-no-Mikoto (倭迹迹日百襲姫命), the daughter of the 7th Emperor Kōrei, and a miko known for her divine marriage with Omononushi (the god of Mount Miwa) Kibitsuhiko-no-mikoto (五十狭芹彦命), the son of Emperor Kōrei and conqueror of the Kingdom of Kibi. Sarutahiko Ōkami (猿田彦大神), leader of the earthly kami. Ame no Kaguyama no Mikoto (天隠山命) Ame no Ita no Mikoto (天五田根命) History The origins of Tamura Jinja are unknown. The monk Gyoki built a shrine over a sacred well in 709 AD; however, it is also recorded that a Buddhist temple was built at this site in that Taihō era (701-704). The temple and shrine were patronized by the Imperial family from an early date. The shrine is mentioned in the "Nihon Sandai Jitsuroku" and Engishiki records from the early Heian period, and was regarded as the ichinomiya of the province from this time. It was promoted to Shoichii (Senior First Rank) in 1201, and a tablet with the inscription 'Shoichii Tamura Daimyojin' dated July 1284 survives at the shrine. The shrine was extended and reconstructed by Hosokawa Katsumoto in 1460. It was destroyed in the wars of the Tenshō era (1573-1592), but reconstructed again under the patronage of the Matsudaira clan, the daimyo of Takamatsu Domain under the Tokugawa shogunate. In 1679, Ichinomiya-ji was separated from the Tamura Jinja, and the shrine lost its position as a stop on the Shikoku pilgrimage. During the Meiji period era of State Shinto, the shrine was rated as an Imperial shrine, 2nd rank (国幣中社, kokuhei-chūsha) under the Modern system of ranked Shinto Shrines The shrine is located a 10-minute walk from Ichinomiya Station on the Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad Kotoden Kotohira Line.
