Shizuoka Prefecture: Japan's Rising Star
A fascinating discussion with a most unusual Japanese political leader, Dr. Heita Kawakatsu, Govenor of the Shizuoka Prefecture and the home of Mt. Fuji. In terms of disaster preparation and training, Shizuoka Prefecture is now on the cutting edge for the Region. This in-depth conversation includes discussion about Shizuoka's renewable energy policy in the wake of the closure of its own nuclear plants, its remarkable initiative facilitating U.S. Japan disaster cooperation, and its clean energy strategy with the State of Hawaii and Hawaii's clean energy industry.
Hosted for Hawaii statewide television by international business lawyer David Day, Govenor Kawakatsu also addresses shifting public opinion in Shizuoka regarding public attitudes towards the U.S. military and Marine Corps in particular. As the home of Japan's icon, Mt. Fuji, Governor Kawakatsu speaks about the cultural significance of Mt. Fuji and its upcoming designation as a World Cultural Heritage site.

Japanese Shinto Religious Charm - Koutsu Anzen Omamori - INV-0000074_01
Japanese Shinto religious good luck charm. Items such as this are called omamori or ofuda in Japan where they are used to invoke the protection and aid of spiritual forces associated with the Shinto and Buddhist religions. Shinto is the native religion of Japan and an animist system supporting a pantheon of innumerable major and minor gods. Omamori (lit honorable protector) are simple bits of wood, paper or cloth holding a written prayer and/or the name of a patron deity, and made holy through consecration by a priest. Omamori are normally kept safe within special pouches called omamori bukuro which are then carried or worn by the believer. Ofuda are similar to omamori though the former are typically made of wood and are designed for domestic use, being displayed at the entrance to a home or held within special family shrines called kamidana (god shelf). Omamori and ofuda are commonly replaced at the start of each year as the power of these charms is thought to be only temporary and subject to diminish over time. Below is a list of the most popular types of Japanese omamori:
Shiawasemamori - Designed to bring happiness into the life of the owner.
Kanai Anzen - Ensure general good health and help those with illness.
Koutsu Anzen - Protection for drivers and travelers of all sorts.
Enmusubi - Available for singles and couples to ensure love and marriage.
Anzan - Protection for pregnant women during term and to ensure a safe and easy delivery.

More about the Shinto religion
Shinto is one of the two major religions of Japan (the other is Buddhism). Shinto is often considered to be the native religion of Japan, and is as old as Japan itself. The name Shinto means the way of the gods. Shinto is a pantheistic religion, in which many thousands of major and minor gods are thought to exist. The Japanese have built thousands of shrines throughout the country to honor and worship these gods. Some shrines are huge and are devoted to important deities while other shrines are small and may be easily missed when strolling along roads in the countryside.
Shinto gods are called kami. Kami are thought to have influence on human affairs, and for this reason many Japanese make regular pilgrimage to community shrines in order to offer prayers to local kami. The act of prayer involves approaching the shrine structure, passing through the gate-like torii, cleansing the hands and mouth with water and possibly ascending stairs to the main entrance of the shrine. Usually without entering the shrine the worshipper will throw some coins into a stone or wooden collection box and then rattle the suzu bell which is at the top of a long hemp rope. The worshiper grabs hold of the rope and shakes it back and forth causing the copper bell at the top to rattle. This is thought to get the attention of the shrine god. The worshipper then bows twice, claps his or her hands twice and then bows again. In addition, the worshipper may clasp their hands together in silent prayer. Shintoism and Buddhism have managed to find a comfortable coexistence in Japan. Evidence of this harmonious relationship is found in the fact that that most Japanese are married in a Shinto shrine, but buried by a Buddhist priest.

New Years Eve Shrine Pilgrimage
On New Year's Eve this year I decided to hop on my bicycle and make a tour of the Shizuoka area in order to visit as many Shinto shrines as I could within the final hours of 2009. I left the house at 9:00 PM and began my tour with a visit to our local community shrine which was dark and deserted. I next rode to the shrine of our neighboring community Kuniyoshida which, though devoid of people, was lit up and decorated with flags and paper lanterns. The sight was actually quite lovely and one of my most pleasant stops of the long evening. After a quick break at a convenience store I rode to Gokoku jinja which is located on a very large grounds and is the official shrine of Shizuoka prefecture. At this shrine I saw vendors and many decorations though the shrine was quite dark and deserted, possibly due to the early hour of my visit.
I choose Shizuoka's most famous shrine Sengen jinja as my next destination, though I made an impromptu stop at Shizuoka's Kyoumizu temple which was lit and attended by priests and assistants who expected a good turnout later in the evening. My arrival at Sengen shrine was roughly an hour before midnight and this shrine was accordingly quite active with vendors, priests, shrine visitors and a surprisingly large number of police officers overseeing the activities.
With less than 30 minutes to go before the New Year I hopped on my bicycle again with a plan to visit one of Shizuoka's oldest downtown shrines called Ogushi jinja. I spotted one more small shrine on the way to Ogushi and was still able to make it to my final shrine with less than 15 minutes to go before the end of the year. A warm fire was burning at Ogushi shrine and volunteers gave me a free bowl of Toshikoshi soba noodles (a traditional year-end meal) along with a cup of delicious and very sweet warm red bean broth. I met a nice woman from Germany and together we chatted around the fire until the crowd began a countdown (in Japanese of course) from ten to zero. With the New Year properly welcomed my new friend and I made our way to the altar to offer our prayers for the new year and to receive our fortunes (mine was happily very good!). I called home to wish my wife and daughter a happy New Year and then began the long ride home through the dark and deserted streets. Emily and Yumiko were fast asleep by the time I got home and I was warm in bed by 2:00 AM ready to enjoy my first dreams of the New Year.
Happy New Year everyone!
