English: This Kin-hasen Rei was promulgated toward shrines and temples, who used to melt copper coins to produce, for example, Buddhist alter articles such as hanging copper lanterns 'made to pray for national peace and security,' and therefore, to whom the Imperial Court could hardly complain against their illegal acts.
Japanese: この禁令は社寺などに出されていることから見ても、朝廷が反対できないよう、銅灯篭など「国家安泰を祈願するため」の仏具に事寄せて溶解する方式が取られたのであろう。
English: As a result, number of existing Kocho-sen coins has become far fewer than recorded, with specifically inferior quality casting particularly in the latter period making them now corroded and difficult to read their engraved letters, while quite a few coins with readable letters are now priced high.
Japanese: この結果、皇朝銭の現存枚数は記録と比較してもきわめて少ないものとなり、とくに後期のものは低品質の影響で錆び、刻字が読めるものはごく稀で現在の古銭市場ではかえって莫大な値打ちをまねいている程である。
English: Thus, copper coins issued by the government had lost the trust of the people and ceased to be used in the market.
Japanese: こうして、民間での、政府が発行する銅銭への信頼は失墜してしまい、使用されなくなった。
English: No copper coins followed after Kangen-taiho, partly due to weakening power and dignity of the Imperial Courts.
Japanese: 乾元大宝が発行されたあと、朝廷の弱体化もあり、銅銭は発行されなくなった。
English: Subsequently, there could be found no record concerning the then-used currencies in Japan since the beginning of 11th century, when the economy had returned back to the old material bartering system using rice, silk, and other commodities as a trading medium.
Japanese: その後、日本では11世紀初頭をもって貨幣使用の記録は途絶え、米や絹などの物品貨幣経済へと逆戻りしてしまう。
English: However, this does not mean that the demand for metal currencies vanished completely, after three hundred years or so for forming them in the Kinai area (countries near Kyoto,) but they remained as a method of conversion to decide official prices by Kokaho (acts of conversion rate of goods.)
Japanese: ただし畿内などでは300年かけて形成された金属貨幣そのもののに対する需要が完全に無くなった訳ではなく、估価法などの公定価格の決定には貨幣換算によるものが用いられてきた。
English: Along with the development of economy in Japan, there appeared the use of new currencies imported from China, such as those of Yuan and Ming.
Japanese: やがて経済が発達すると、中国から輸入した宋銭、元銭、明銭などが用いられるようになった。
English: In Japan for a long time since abolishment of Kocho-Junisen (twelve coins cast in Japan,) no official currency was cast by the government.
Japanese: 皇朝十二銭が発行されなくなってから、長い間日本では公鋳貨幣は作られなかった。
English: Resumption to use official copper currencies cast by the government happened more than 600 years after the period of Kocho-Junisen, when Keicho-tsuho and Kanei-tsuho appeared in the market in 1608 and in 1627, respectively.
Japanese: 銅銭の公鋳の再開は、皇朝十二銭の600年以上後の1608年（慶長13年）に鋳造された慶長通宝あるいは1627年（寛永4年）の寛永通宝鋳造まで待つこととなる。
English: In China, holed coins had circulated in the market before Tosen coins (Chinese currency of the Tang dynasty) appeared, but, during the blank period without such currencies, it was cloth and rice that played the role as a bartering currency.
Japanese: 中国では唐銭以前にも穴あき銭はあったが、その空白期には布や米などを貨幣代わりに用いた。

Japanese: また「贖銅（罰金）」にもちいられた銅や砂金、銀なども秤量貨幣の一種と見なすことができる。
English: Tettei (iron rod) of the Kofun period (tumulus period) may be regarded as equivalent to Kafu (ancient Chinese currency made of bronze,) used as Quasi-money, which is typically represented by Tosen currency (bronze coin shaped like an opened straight razor) of ancient China.
Japanese: 古代中国の刀銭などに代表される準貨幣としての貨布は、古墳時代の鉄?（てってい）などがこれにあたるとの見方がある。
English: Omikuji (also referred to as Mikuji) are sacred lots drawn at temples or shrines to tell one's fortune.

English: The 'mi' in 'mikuji' is an honorific prefix and is written with different characters for example the honorific 'mi' and 'kuji', or in the case of a shrine the characters for 'kami' (God) and 'kuji' (lot) or in the case of a temple the characters for 'Buddha' and 'kuji' (lot).
Japanese: 「みくじ」は「くじ」に尊敬語の接頭辞「み」をくわえたもので、漢字で書くときは「御籤」とするか、神社のものは「神籤」、寺のものは「仏籤」とする。
English: In ancient times when important matters in connection with the politics of state or choosing of successors were decided, there were cases when lots were drawn to determine the intention of the Gods and this is said to be the origin of the modern day mikuji.
Japanese: 古代においては国家の政治に関する重要な事項や後継者を選ぶ際に神の意志を占うために籤引きをすることがあり、これが現在の神籤の起源とされている。
English: Mikuji these days are drawn by visitors to shrines to determine their personal fortunes and this practice became popular from the beginning of the Kamakura period.
Japanese: 現在の神籤は参詣者が個人の吉凶を占うために行われるもので、これは鎌倉時代初期から行われるようになった。
English: Currently about 70% of omikuji are made by Joshidosha, a company in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and they also export English versions to Hawaii and other countries, and the rest are made independently by various shrines and temples.
Japanese: 現在、おみくじの7割近くは女子道社（山口県周南市）によって奉製され、英語版はハワイなど外国への輸出も行われているが、各神社寺院独自で奉製しているところもある。
English: Shake a round or square mikuji box which is of a weight and size which can be held in both hands (some boxes are too big to hold) and contains thin sticks, and one of the sticks will come out of the small hole at the bottom of the box, and receive a lot which has the same number as the number on this stick.
Japanese: 御神籤箱という、細い棒の入った両手で抱えられる程度の（神社によっては抱えられないほど巨大なものもある）大きさ・重さの角柱・円柱形の筒状の箱を振って棒を箱の短辺の小さな穴から一本出し、棒に記された番号の籤を受けとる

English: Recently there are temples and shrines at which the fortunes written include 'daidaikichi' (very very good luck) and 'daidaikyo' (very very bad luck)), and they include sentences describing fortunes related to things you are looking for, a person you are waiting for, health, financial fortune and lifestyle or other personal fortunes.
Japanese: 最近では書かれている運勢が「大大吉」や「大大凶」がある寺社もある）の吉凶の語句で書かれ、探し物・待ち人・健康・金運・生活等の個別の運勢が文章で記されている。
English: There are also shrines (including Meiji-jingu Shrine) which add Japanese waka poetry to the explanation of the fortune or express the whole fortune through waka poetry.
Japanese: 運勢の説明に和歌を添えたり、全体の運勢を和歌で表現している神社（明治神宮など）もある。
English: Moreover the lots at some temples have Chinese poetry added and this is because of the roots in Ganzan Daishi Hyakusen (Gansantaishi's one hundred lots).
Japanese: また寺のくじでは漢詩が添えられていることもあり、これは「元三大師百籤」がルーツになっているためである。
English: There are also temples and shrines which do not inscribe the good or bad fortune on mikuji, but only have the explanation or waka poetry (such as Taga Taisha shrine in Shiga Prefecture).
Japanese: 神籤に吉凶の語句が記されず、運勢の説明文・和歌等のみが御籤に記されている寺社もある（滋賀県の多賀大社など）。
English: This began in the Edo period as 'musubu' (to tie) evoke an expression 'en wo musubu' of lovers (to get married).
Japanese: 「結ぶ」が恋愛の「縁を結ぶ」に通じることから江戸時代から行われてきた。
English: Furthermore, there is also a theory that if you tie a 'kyo' (bad luck) mikuji with the opposite hand to your better hand, then by achieving or performing such a difficult action you can turn bad luck to good.
Japanese: また、「凶のおみくじを利き腕と反対の手で結べば、困難な行いを達成つまり修行をしたことになり、凶が吉に転じる」という説もある。
English: However in recent years some temples and shrines prepare a rope between two tree trunks for visitors to tie the mikuji to because tying the mikuji to the trees is bad for the tree growth.
Japanese: だが近年、木に結ぶと成長が悪くなるため、参拝者が神籤を結ぶために、2本の木の柱の間に張られた縄を用意している寺社もある。
English: The ratio of good to bad fortunes in the mikuji varies among temples and shrines however in recent years some temples and shrines are reducing the ratio of bad fortunes.
Japanese: おみくじの吉凶の量の比率は神社仏閣によって様々であり、近年は凶を減らすところもある。

Japanese: 舞鶴地方で話される方言・舞鶴弁である「ちゃった」の名を冠したお祭りで、1975年（昭和50年）から舞鶴市や舞鶴商工会議所が主体となった「みなと舞鶴ちゃったまつり実行委員会」の主催で開催されている。

English: The term "Senso" means to succeed the position of Tenshi (emperor) upon the demise of the previous emperor or his abdication from the position.
Japanese: 践祚（せんそ）とは、天子の位を受け継ぐことであり、それは先帝の崩御あるいは譲位によって行われる。
English: In ancient times, this term was written in kanji script as '践阼,' while '践' means to take an official position and '阼' means the position of the Tensi emperor.
Japanese: 古くは「践阼」と書き、「践」とは位に就くこと、「阼」は天子の位を意味する。
English: The fifty-first Emperor, Heijo had executed Senso prior to the enthronement, and then the coronation followed.
Japanese: 第51代天皇である平城天皇は、即位に先立ってこの践祚を行い、その後に即位式を行っている。
English: Subsequently, the term Senso was likely distinguished from that of enthronement and coronation, and for this reason Emperor Chukyo, who had become the emperor by Senso without an enthronement ceremony or coronation, was called Hantei (halfway emperor) and was not bestowed no daijo-tenno-go (name of the retired emperor) after his retirement nor any shigo (posthumous name) after his demise (his shigo was given 636 years after his death.)
Japanese: これ以後、践祚と即位の区別がなされるようになったと思われる（このため、践祚のみで即位式が行われなかった仲恭天皇は、「半帝」と呼ばれて太上天皇号も崩御後の諡号も贈られる事も無かった（「仲恭」の諡号が贈られたのは実に崩御から636年後の事であった））。
English: A series of ceremonies related to Senso are called "Senso-no-gi (ceremonies to become a new emperor)" which are regarded as a part of the emperor's constitutional functions, being composed of the first ceremony named Kenji (ceremony for imperial succession) to be executed immediately after the demise of the previous emperor, and the second ceremony named Sokuigo Choken-no-gi (ceremony to have an audience with the emperor after enthronement) for the Sanken-no-cho (chiefs of three organizations of power, namely the prime minister, the chairmen of House of Representatives and the House of Councillors, and the Chief Justice,) and being followed by the next ceremony named Sokui-no-rei (ceremony of the enthronement) which is to be held after the end of ryoan (period to mourn for the passing of emperor.)
Japanese: 践祚にかかる儀式を『践祚の儀』といい、先帝崩御後直ちに行われる『剣璽』及び新帝が即位後初めて三権の長（内閣総理大臣、衆議院議長、参議院議長、最高裁判所長官）を引見される『即位後朝見の儀』は共に国事行為とされ、先帝の諒闇が明けて行われる即位の礼と続く。
English: Imperial succession requires for a new emperor to inherit the three sacred imperial treasures from the previous emperor.
Japanese: 践祚し皇位を継承するには『三種の神器』を先帝から受け継ぐことが要求される。
English: The three sacred imperial treasures are composed of Yata-no-Kagami mirror, Yasakani-no-Magatama (comma-shaped jewel) and Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi sword, each of which is enshrined in the Kyuchu-sanden (three sacred shrines in the imperial palace) including Kashiko-dokoro where the Yata-no-Kagami mirror is stored, while all of which, both jewels and shrines, are succeeded by the new emperor and the above said Kenji ceremony is held as a ritual for succession of Yasakani-no-Magatama and Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi sword.
Japanese: 三種の神器は八咫鏡・八尺瓊勾玉・天叢雲剣で構成されるが、その内八咫鏡は祀られている賢所を含む宮中三殿を相続する事によって受継ぎ、八尺瓊勾玉・天叢雲剣を受継ぐ儀式が剣璽となる。
English: Since the imperial throne itself may be approved by the retention of the three sacred imperial treasures, the Nanbokucho-Seijunron (argument on legitimacy of either Northern or Southern Court) has a basis for its denial of orthodoxy of Hokucho (Northern court) which ascended to the throne without the three sacred imperial treasures.
Japanese: 皇位そのものの証明は三種の神器の所持を以て挙げられるため、南北朝正閏論に於いては神器が無いまま即位した北朝(日本)の正当性が否定される根拠の一つとなっている。
English: The term 'Sokui (enthronement)' specified herein has the same concept as the term 'Senso (to become a new emperor)' used for the emperors from Emperor Heijo to Emperor Showa.
Japanese: ここにいう「即位」は、平城天皇から昭和天皇までの「践祚」と同じ概念である。
English: The term 'Sokui (enthronement)' applied to the consecuutive lineage of emperors up to Emperor Showa is understood as equivalent to 'Sokui-no-rei (ceremony of the enthronement)' specified in the current Imperial House Act.
Japanese: 昭和天皇までの「即位」は、現行皇室典範の「即位の礼」に当たるものと解される。

English: When prepared, Dashi is usually served on a large platter from which each guest takes an adequate quantity to put over their own rice in a bowl.
Japanese: 出来上がった「だし」は、大皿に盛られ、各自が適量を温かいご飯に載せて食べるのが一般的。
English: Local pronunciation of the word 'Dashi' in Obanazawa sounds like 'Dasu' because 'shi' is pronounced with a nasal vowel similar to 'su.'
Japanese: 尾花沢で「だし」と言う場合、「し」をほぼ「す」に近い鼻母音混じりの発音で「だす」と言う。
English: Dashi became widely known in Japan since Daniel Kahl, an American entertainer who lives in Yamagata Prefecture, introduced it on a TV program, 'Kyo-no-Ryori' (today's dish), of NHK National Educational Television of Japan Broadcasting Corporation.
