Kyoto Yoshimine-Dera - 善峯寺 - 4K Ultra HD

Note : This version replace the previously uploaded video of the Yoshimine-Dera temple. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Kyoto Yoshimine-Dera - 善峯寺 - 4K Ultra HD : Yoshimie-dera or Yoshimiedera (善峯寺) is a temple of the Tendai school of Buddishm located in the mountains of Kyoto's western ward of Nishikyō-ku which overlooks the city.

Established in 1029 as a personal retreat for a priest from Enryakuji, named Gesan, Yoshimie-dera was destroyed in 1467 during the Omin war and later rebuilt in 1621. The temple's main objects of worship are a Kannon statue carved by Gesan himself and a Kannon statue given to the temple by Emperor Gosuzaku in 1042.

Surprisingly unpopular among foreign tourists, Yoshimie-dera is an amazing and spacious temple featuring many buildings and protected by a surrounding forest that, once a year in autumn, give you one of Kyoto’s most amazing scenes.

Top 10 Invaluable Life-Lessons By Great Japanese Philosophers Decoding Destiny.10

Japan is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. It is a unique blend of traditional and modern, with many temples and buildings from the past co-existing with modern achievements in architecture and technology.

Almost all of the historical sites are still used for their original purposes while remaining open to the public.
In addition, Japan has one of the world’s lowest crime rates which makes it ideal for travelers.

5. Todaiji Temple

The Todaiji Temple in Nara is a feat of engineering. It is not only the world’s largest wooden building, it is home to the world’s largest bronze Buddha statue. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and wildlife, the Kegon school of Buddhism is centered here and the grounds hold many artifacts of Japanese and Buddhist history.

4. Tokyo Tower

The Tokyo Tower is a testament to the advancement of technology and modern life.Inspired by the Eiffel tower design, it is the second tallest man-made structure in Japan and functions as a communications and observation tower.

3. Tokyo Imperial Palace

The Emperor of Japan makes his home at the Tokyo Imperial Palace. It also functions as an administration center and museum to showcase Japanese art and history.

The palace is set on the ruins of older castles that were destroyed by fire or war, and architects have honored the past by incorporating design elements of the different eras into the modern palace.The new palace is surrounded by traditional Japanese gardens and has many reception and function rooms to receive guests and welcome the public.

2. Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776 meters (12,388 ft). The volcano’s exceptionally symmetrical cone is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as a popular tourist attraction for sightseers and climbers.

1.Golden Pavilion
Kinkaku-ji or the Temple of the Golden Pavilion is the most popular tourist attraction in Japan and Kyoto.The pavilion was originally built as a retirement villa for Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in the late 14th century.

Unfortunately, the pavilion was burnt down in 1950 by a young monk who had become obsessed with it.

Five years later, the temple was rebuilt as an exact copy of the original.
Emphasis is placed on the building and surrounding gardens being in harmony with one another.

The pavilion is covered in gold leaf which highlights the reflection of the pavilion in the pond and the pond’s reflection on the building.You definitely should witness cherry blossoms in bloom, eat some delicious ramen and meet a culture so beautifully different to your own.

Today, despite suffering massive losses during World War II and possessing very little natural resources, Japan has become an economic and technological powerhouse.

The phrases and words I came across recently are difficult to directly translate, but when you dig into them, they resonate deeply.
The position of Japan relative to the Asian mainland had played a significant role in the country's development.

The first historical documents mentioning Japan date to around the 5th century. Japanese myth holds that Emperor Jimmu was the first emperor of an imperial line that is still in place today.

However, archaeological evidence gathered by a number of researchers place the imperial rule starting later around the third to seventh centuries AD, during the Kofun period.

Bowing is an important part of the Japanese culture.it is a perfect example of actively showing respect to others.

Japanese people bow when they first greet each other and then the duty is done. This is far from the truth. Bowing is something that happens throughout every conversation--sometimes almost constantly.

It becomes such a part of your nature, that you even end up bowing when you are talking on the phone.

The commonly used Japanese phrase Sho ga nai. basically means, don't worry about what you can't control.During the late summer and early fall almost every community, big or small, has a Matsuri festival with food, music, vendors, and dancing.

Hanabi, otherwise known as fireworks to all you English speakers, are a huge part of the culture too. The firework shows in Japan are spectacular. Unless you see it yourself, you really don't know what you're missing.

The Japanese have defined what truly success,inspiration and motivation is with their skill and development. Nuclear Power Japan like other has many secrets which anyone can rarely make a guess.
It is one of the modern competitors of countries like USA(America),England,Russia and many more

北関東の小京都と、呼ばれています。

Nanzen-ji-Saisho-in-Nanzenin!

Nanzenji Temple is the headquarters of the Nanzenji School of the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism. The detached palace established by Emperor Kameyama for his mother, Omiyain, was converted into the temple in 1291. In 1334, it became the first in the ranking system of the Kyoto Gozan (five great Zen temples in Kyoto). Later, Shogun Yoshimitsu Ashikaga ranked it the highest, even above the five temples.
The Hojo (main building, National Treasure) comprises Oo (Large)-hojo, (Seiryo-den) and Ko (Small)-hojo. Many of the wall paintings in these halls are designated as Important Cultural Assets. Sho-hojo has a room named Tora-no Ma (Room of Tigers) with Gunko Zu (Picture of Gathered Tigers, Important Cultural Asset), reportedly drawn by Tanyu Kano. The garden in front of Oo-hojo is a representative rock and sand garden reportedly made by Enshu Kobori, the design of which is famous as Tora-no-ko-watashi (a mother tiger trying to let her cubs cross a river).
The huge, Zen-style Sanmon Gate (Important Cultural Asset) was donated by Takatora Todo. From its top, you can enjoy a fine view of Kyoto City. In the southeast of the precinct stands the beautiful Suirokaku; a tall raised waterway made of bricks that is part of the Biwako-sosui canal.
The Garden of Grand Emperor Kameyama:

The Emperor Kameyama, who became a priest at a detached palace in 1289,became the Grand Emperor. He contributed the detached palace, which became a Zen temple. Daimin-kokushi was the first chief priest of it. This place is ruins of the detached palace and also the cradle of the Nanzen-ji Temple. The garden remains traces of its former shadows. This is the typical garden made at the end of the Kamakura Era, where you can walk around the ponds and springs here and there in the background of deep, green forests with profound and quiet elegance. The man who made this garden is said to be the Grand Emperor Kameyama. This garden is specified as one of the three scenic and historic spots in Kyoto City. It is on your left hand that you can see stone constructions of Takiguchi. The upper pond you can see is shaped as a form of a dragon, and is called Sogen-ike Pond, which has Horai-sima Island in the center of it. The down pond has an island whose shape is just like a Japanese letter, meaning heart. According to the records, when the garden was first built, cherry trees were transplanted from Yoshino, reeds from Namba, maple trees from Tatsuta, and even frogs were loosed off from Ide. The Hojo in the Nanzen-in Temple was rebuilt as a contribution from Keisho-in, i.e., the mother of the Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi. The features of it lie at hinoki-zukuri (made of Japanese cypress) and Irimoya-zukuri (one of the typical Japanese carpenter rings) and kokera-buki (Japanese style roofs made of numerous, small tips of Japanese cypress). You can see the wooden statue of the Grand Emperor Kameyama (one of the Japanese treasures) in the center of the Naijin place. The pictures on the Fusumas (sliding doors) are black-and-white paintings by Kanoh Yohboku and hisson Nyokawa Zuisen. At the outskirts of the garden, you will find the Byoh (i.e., a Japanese type of a mausoleum), where the remains of the Grand Emperor Kameyama were buried according to his dying wishes.

Ancient higher-learning institutions

A variety of ancient higher-learning institutions were developed in many cultures to provide institutional frameworks for scholarly activities. These ancient centres were sponsored and overseen by courts; by religious institutions, which sponsored cathedral schools, monastic schools, and madrasas; by scientific institutions, such as museums, hospitals, and observatories; and by individual scholars. They are to be distinguished from the Western-style university which is an autonomous organization of scholars that originated in medieval Europe and was adopted in other world regions since the onset of modern times.

Sekiro Lore - The Story

Sekiro Lore - The Story

It's time to fully talk about the Sekiro Story. In this Sekiro Lore video, I'm going to discuss the all of the background and lore to the game at hand, and try to avoid the most obvious things (like what you can find out by just playing the game). In my Sekiro Story video, I really wanted to actually delve into the origins of everything... why is the Divine Dragon missing an arm? How did Dragonrot begin? What about the corruption of Senpou Temple, Ashina, and Fountainhead?

I also thought it would be best, for this Lore video, to delve into aspects of both Buddhism and Japan's Sengoku Period.
