Maruoka Castle (丸岡城, Maruoka-jō) is in Sakai, Fukui Prefecture.
It is also called Kasumi-ga-jō (霞ヶ城).
The castle tower was built between 1624 to 1644.
It is one of the twelve existing castle towers in Japan (現存十二天守, genzon-jūni-tenshu), and also one of the national important cultural properties.
In 1576, Nobunaga Oda ordered Katsutoyo Shibata to build Maruoka Castle to get ready for the ikkō-ikki, a rebellion by believers of the Jōdo Shinshū sect of Buddhism in the 15th-16th centuries.
In 1613, Narushige Honda became the first lord, castle owner, of the Maruoka Castle.

Shigesumi Arima was lord from 1772 to 1830.
He rebuilt the local domain economy.
On 8 July 1948,  an earthquake hit Fukui.
The quake destroyed the castle tower of Maruoka Castle.
But, in 1955 the castle tower was repaired by recycling more than 70% of the original materials of Maruoka Castle.
Maruoka Castle’s stone walls are about 6.2 meters high.
The stone walls were built using nozura-zumi (野面積み), an architectural method to build stone walls with a good system of drains.
This protects the building from damage by heavy rain.
Maruoka Castle is also famous for its steep stairs.
The stairs that go up from the first floor to the second floor are at an angle of 65 degrees.

In 1576, Katsutoyo Shibata tried to build Maruoka Castle, but it had collapsed many times.
Therefore, he received a proposal to stabilize the castle by putting a human pillar in the castle tower.
The person chosen as the human pillar was one-eyed Oshizu, who was a woman living a difficult life with two children.
Oshizu offered Katsutoyo that one of her children would serve as a samurai in the future, and she decided to become the human pillar on that condition.
Although the castle was completed, Oshizu’s children could not be a samurai because Katsutoyo was transferred elsewhere.
Oshizu’s spirit resented this, so it rains a lot every April.
People call this “Oshizu’s Tears”, and they built a grave of her to console her spirit.
This story is fiction, but it is one of the most famous stories of Maruoka Castle.

Habutae is a type of silk.
There are different kinds of habutae silk such as plain or striped habutae.
Habutae is traditionally used for kimono and undershirts.
Recently, it is also used for general goods, works of art, and clothing.
Habutae is smooth to touch, glossy, and soft.
It has been said "The quality of silk fabric begins with habutae and ends with it."
Fukui is a suitable region to produce habutae as the dryness and wetness of the air are well-balanced throughout the whole year.
In 1871, Kimimasa Yuri, who was a lord of Fukui Domain (region), brought some silk goods from Europe to Fukui when he joined a study tour in Europe.
He showed the goods to people who studied silks in Fukui and they started doing technical research on weaving habutae.
In 1887, basic technology for weaving habutae silk was completed in Fukui city.
The economic boom of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 and World War I boosted progress and production of habutae in Fukui.
In the early 1900s, production of habutae in Fukui earned 1.7 million dollars, up to 60% of the total exports of habutae in Japan.
The demand for habutae made in Fukui has kept increasing in Japan, and it is still used in many kinds of daily goods such as clothing.
Weaving Process
Most of the process of making Fukui habutae silk is the same as the process of making habutae in other areas, but the weaving process of Fukui habutae silk is different from the weaving process of habutae in other areas.
Also, the weaving process is the most important part of making Fukui habutae silk.
Fukui habutae silk is made in a process called nureyoko(濡れ横).
Nureyoko is a weaving method of weaving warps and wefts which is the two basic components of weaving thread  into fabric after wetting wefts with water.
Threads are made from raw silks that are imported from other countries such as China and Brazil.
This process makes the cloth tight, elastic, and strong.
It takes one day to weave 20 meters of habutae.
The National Diet Building (国会議事堂, Kokkai-gijidō) is the building where both houses of the Japan's government, the Diet, meet.
It is located at Nagatachō 1-chome 7–1, Chiyoda, Tokyo.
Plans for a Diet building began in 1881.
The planners hoped to finish it by 1890, when the Diet would meet for the first time.
They realized they could not build a very impressive building in time, so they decided to make temporary buildings at first.
The first Diet building was a Western-style building made of wood.
It burned down in 1891.
Another wooden building was made and finished in 1891.
It burned down in 1925.
A third building was made.
The Diet used it until 1936, when the current Diet building was finished.
Current Diet building
In 1910, the Finance Ministry started a planning group to take control over the new Diet Building design from the Home Ministry.
Prime Minister Katsura Tarō chaired the commission, which recommended that the new building should be made in the Italian Renaissance architectural style.
Many other people did not like this idea.
The ministry had a public design competition in 1918.
118 architect teams sent designs.
The first prize winner, Watanabe Fukuzo, produced a design similar to Ende and Böckmann's.
The Diet Building was built between 1920 and 1936 with a floor plan based on Fukuzo's entry.
The roof and tower of the building might have been inspired by another entrant, third prize winner Takeuchi Shinshichi, and are believed to have been chosen because they mixed European and East Asian architecture.
The actual source for the "Pyramid" roof remains unclear, but Japanese historian Jonathan Reynolds suggests it might have come from from Shinshichi.
Historian of Africa studies Zoe Strother says Shinshichi's design resembles the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, which was a model for some prominent Western designs in the early 1900s, such as John Russell Pope's 1911 award-winning House of the Temple in Washington, D.C. and the downtown Los Angeles City Hall, completed in 1928.

A microcredit (sometimes called a micro-loan, or microloan) is a special kind of loan given to poor business people, mostly in developing countries.
Microcredits were created to support entrepreneurship, and to lessen poverty.
Very often, people getting a microcredit are illiterate: they cannot fill out forms to apply for a regular loan.
Microcredits also work differently: the interest ot be paid is usually much higher than with a regular loan, often it is over 20%.
The interest usually also has to be paid more often.
Microcredits have been criticized, because people taking them often end up in a situation where they cannot repay their debt.
Taoroinai ()() is a snake like dragon in Meitei mythology and religion.
It lived in the land of the moon.
According to the Shakok Lamlen, the Kangla was constructed over the navel of Taoroinai.
Taoroinai from the moon to the earth
According to the Sanggai Phammang, Taoroinai lived on the moon.
He was ordered by God Atiya to carry on His image to the earth.
He swallowed the image of the God in his mouth and brought it down.
He came down with the image and lived inside the earth.
The God who came down from the above was later born as a male child.
Taoroinai and the Heavenly egg
According to the Leithak Leikharol and the Krathok Lamlen, Taoroinai went to the Heaven in disguise of Tupu (officer in charge) and brought down the divine cloud egg (nonglum) of Atiya.
He gave the egg to a polyandrous person.
Later, the egg became Pakhangba.
According to the Meihourol Makok Latam, God Atiya wanted to create an earthly king from his own body.
He asked goddess Leimarel Sidabi to call Taoroinai.
Taoroinai was asked by Leimaren to bring the image of God Atiya in the shape of Nonglum (egg of cloud).
Goddess Leimaren received the heavenly egg containing another God.
After this, Leimaren was also known as Yaibirok ().
According to the Leimaren Naoyom, Taoroinai gave an embryonic egg to Leimarel Sidabi, a solar goddess (or a celestial goddess).
Later, goddess Leimaren (alias Yaibirok) gave birth to Pakhangba.
Taoroinai and the solar sperm
According to the Pakhangba Nonggarol, Taoroinai brought a God from the centre of the Sun as a sperm inside his body after the completion of the creation of the universe.
He gave it to goddess Leinung Yaipirok (alias Leimarel Sidabi).
Taoroinai and the Kangla
The Thon Talet Thonlanmei shows the seven layers of the Royal Palace in the Kangla.

According to the illustration, the mankind ascended from the lowest form to the highest form.
The forms are (1) fish, (2) snake, (3) tortoise, (4) boar, (5) cow, (6) elephant and (7) man and finally Taoroinai.
Taoroinai is shown as the ultimate form of life.
According to the Kangla Houba (alias the Kanglalon) written by Ashangbam Laiba in the 5th century, Meitei King Naophangba attempted to construct a new palace in the Kangla.
The king's plan was rejected by 13 year old Maichou Ashangbam Laiba.
During that time, blood gushed out of the holes of the erecting pillars.
It was believed that the erecting pillars struck the body of God Taoroinai.
So, the King requested Ashangbam Laiba to rectify the pillar position.
Laiba did as requested.
Later, without any chaos, a seven storied palace building was able to be constructed in the Kangla.
Taoroinai's dance
According to the Anoirol, Lady Toibi Tanka Nubi (alias Tankha Chanu) danced with her father Taoroinai.
She learned how to dance from Taoroinai step by step and movement by movement.
They danced together.
Other living beings also imitated their way of dancing.
It was performed to celebrate happiness of the removal of the Lingkam Laikam curse.
The curse was removed by the ancestors.
Seven maidens namely Tankha, Phuitingwak, Khuyon, Phuitingloubi, Toura, Nongdang and Lengbi and nine gods learned how to dance from Dragon Father Taoroinai.
The rhythmic and smooth dancing of the maidens surprised all the creatures of the world.
All the creatures came out and started to dance.
The movements of Lady Tankha Chanu resembled that of the snake.
Her steps destroyed all the plants and the flowers on her way.
It is believed that the place of her enactment of the dance is the Mahou Phaibok hill.
Seeing the daughter-father dance, a male squirrel imitated their dance.
Seeing him dancing, a female squirrel also danced.
The son squirrel laughed at his mother squirrel.
At this, the female squirrel was embarrassed.
The dancing squirrels were later joined by other creatures.
And so, the dance never ended.
