AWA LIFE

A monthly newsletter for the international residents of Tokushima Prefecture, produced
by TOPIA, the Tokushima Prefectural International Exchange Association.

September 2012

We came, we saw,
we danced.

odori wa ... arasowa^ren!
Emma Boardman

This year marked the 32nd year since theestablishment of the Arasowa-Ren dance troupe, agroup which proudly fills its ranks from Tokushima's
foreign residents & exchange students. 2012
also saw the debut of Chinese exchange
students from Kobe International University,
working hard to help promote Tokushima's
vibrant dance festival on their own shores.
The troupe's name derives from a Japanese plea
for a world without war - "arasowanai" meaning to"not fight", and the sight of so many participants
throwing themselves enthusiastically into thedance, and the warm reception from the crowd,
was proof that even 32 years from its inception thegroup's dream of overcoming racial and nationalboundaries is far from over.

Wander-ful Tabi: Kagawa’s Seaside
CastleLance Kita

Contrary to our image of fortresses standing high onmountaintops, Takamatsu Castle 高 松 城 in Kagawa
Prefecture was built abutting the sea. Its nickname
is Tamamo Castle 玉藻城 , possibly from an ancientpoetic reference to the surrounding waters as
Tamamo-no-ura 玉藻の浦 .

The elegant roofline of the Tsukimi-yagura turret is often mistaken for the main castle building

What advantage
does a seaside
castle have?

house for the Matsudaira family.
The adjoining garden was
redesigned as a dry sand garden
when the house was rebuilt,
with massive stepping stones
and carefully manicured pines.

Takamatsu Castle once had
three layers of moats connected tothe ocean, though today only the
inner and central moats remain.
Therefore, any attacks would haveto cross three moats from land, orcome by boat from the Seto Inland
Sea.
Because the moats containsaltwater, one can find sea breamswimming around deliciously eventoday. There are several feedingstations that sell fish food to slide
down a bamboo tube and attract
the silvery-red tai. At low tide theocean-facing moat often drains,
revealing crabs and oysters. The
mechanical water gate near themain entrance to the castle (on the
Takamatsu Station side) regulated
the amount of water in the moats.
Though the main keep, or
honmaru 本 丸 , fell into disrepair
and was torn down, there is a
campaign to rebuild it, but until
then all you can see is the partiallystanding foundation and a covered
bridge that accessed the keep.

Not your ordinary carp feeding - slide these pellets down abamboo tube into the moat, and the castle's red sea bream will

style and black horizontal stripes
accent the white plastered walls.
The gate and Watari-yagura 渡 櫓
connected to it are also original
buildings.
Though the keep is gone,
there is still a lordly residence tovisit. The Matsudaira clan built alarge wooden house, Hiunkaku 披
雲閣 , for the feudal lord to residein. Rebuilt in the Taisho Period, it
was just designated an Important
Cultural Property this summer andis open for events and functions.
The Showa Emperor, Hirohito,
has stayed there and was a guest

So the next time you take a trip
to Takamatsu to go shopping,stop by the castle, feed the fish,
hop through the garden, catcha view of the Inland Sea froma turret, and enjoy this uniquemaritime fortification.
**Tamamo Park (the name of
the area now) is open every day
except Dec. 29-31. Admission
is 200 yen for adults and 100
yen for kids 6-16 yrs. The
park is open for free on Jan.
1-3. Opening and closing times
vary every month, so check out
their home page for more info
(Japanese only): http://www.
city.takamatsu.kagawa.jp/3165.
html
There will be a bonsai
exhibition in late September anda chrysanthemum exhibition in
October and November.

What can be seen are thebeautiful yagura 櫓 , multi-storied
turrets with tiled roofs that one
could almost mistake for the castle
itself. Three of the turrets havebeen designated Important Cultural
Properties 重要文化財 . The moststunning is the Tsukimi-yagura 月
見櫓 , which was used as a lookout
tower for passing ships. Eachfloor is built with a different roof
Oversized stepping stones, white sand and pine trees form the lush yet austere inner garden of Takamatsu Castle

minutes or until a toothpick inserted

letter from Suketo Hoikuen

Child care advice
from our friends at
Suketo Daycare!

Kazue InoueAugust's "Kuyon" childcare
magazine contained anincredibly interesting feature on
the effects of physical contact,
particulary the impact holding
children has on pair bonding. I'dlike to take this opportunity tointroduce the article to the Awa
Life readers.
The hormone "oxytocin", found in
the wombs of prenatal mothers, issaid to mediate a child's response
to being held, working to form
the bonds of trust and affection. In
other words, the more oxytocin,
th e clo s er th e b o n d b etw een
mother and baby.
However, whilst production of thishormone is a result of physicalcontact, it needn't be a longendeavor - the effects of just 5
minutes of contact (be it a hug oreven a massage) are thought to last
for an hour. It's said that for thoseparents who want to strengthen
their bond even further, those 5
minutes of physical contact should
be repeated every day, many times
a day.

This month's craft:
Dried Leaf Art
1. Use a wet sponge & a varietyof coloured paints create a striped
pattern on a sheet of white drawing
paper.
2. When (1) has dried, lay yourleaves on the paper. Fill a spraybottle with a mix of paint (darkcolours are recommended!) andspray the whole page.
* Those without a spray bottle don't fear! A toothbrush can bebrushed over wire gauze to create
the same effect.
3. Once the paint is dry, peel theleaves off the sheet, and... Voila!
- You'll be left with beautifully
patterned leaves on a striking dark
background.

“Oxytocin
works to formbonds of trust
and affection.
In other words,
the more
oxytocin, thecloser thebond between
mother andbaby”

Interestingly, it seems father's canachieve their most effective pairbonding not through holding thechild, but through physical contact
during games.
