Song reenacted to celebrate Korea′s liberation from Japanese colonization
고종이
This year marks the 70th anniversary of Korea′s liberation from Japanese colonial rule.
To remember the efforts made to win back the country′s sovereignty... two musicians are re－enacting a traditional song close to the hearts of Koreans.
Our cultural correspondent Kim Ji－yeon has this report.
This traditional Korean folk song called ″Monggeumpo Taryeong″... expresses the hopes and dreams of lovers who await to be reunited.
It′s being sung at the very palace where it was originally performed for Korean emperor King Gojong during the late 19th century.
″We decided to play Monggeumpo Taryeong because it′s one of the most representative traditional folk song beloved by Koreans.″
″It′s an honor to be able to play this song in this palace. I feel a sense of pride and am touched to be in a place that symbolizes modern Korean history.″
The Deoksugung Seokjojeon Palace stands out from other historical structures in Korea.
King Gojong commissioned British engineer John Harding to build his empire′s first Western－style building， with
elements of neoclassical architecture in mind.
After it was completed in 1910， the king often escaped there to stay grounded in times of emotional hardship and crisis.
″After the death of his queen， King Gojong returned to Deoksugung Seokjojeon Palace with a plan to establish a new political system to secure the national sovereignty of his country from rising foreign imperialistic powers.″
As part of efforts to reinvent the country and secure sovereignty against Japanese colonization in the early 1900s， King Gojong renamed his empire ″Dae－han.″
And to this day， the country is commonly referred to as Dae－han min－gook in Korean.
To mark the 70th anniversary of the country′s liberation from Japanese colonization... songs representing Korea′s past and present will be performed every last Wednesday each month until August.

Trainz Railfanning Sneak Peek: JNR, JR Freight, Japan Rail, Bus Ride And Tour
This is a sneak peek of a fictional route I'm working on. It takes place in Japan and has several stations and bus stops. You can either ride the trains or drive a bus around and between the cities. You can cross all the railroad crossings and cross a large suspension bridge. We'll use the longest bus route on the map to tour the cities.

A Sneak Peek Of A Future Trainz Railfanning Video: Fictional Japanese Route Expansion
A long time ago, I saw a video of trains being switched around at a station in Japan. It was an amazing site. Two trains were on the same track headed right for each other, but at the last moment, one switches to the left and the other to the right. I tried to make that happen in the game, but it proved to be too difficult. As you'll see in the video, at first it works, but when the trains start approaching the station from the opposite direction, it stopped working. They all get stuck and can't go anywhere. I figured out a solution, but that will happen later.
Japanese Pottery With Master Potter - Kusube Yaichi
Kusube Yaichi Vase FOR SALE and Open to Sensible Offers
Contact via the About Page...
“A group of ceramists emerged in the 1920s and 30s who rocked the Kyoto scene. They are considered the first wave of individualist potters in contemporary Japanese history. They, in a sense, dominated Kyoto ceramics for a good half-century. An interesting fact: many of these potters lived on the same cross-section of Kyoto, called Gojo-zaka.
Two of the giants were the Nitten (Japan Fine Arts Exhibition) potters Kusube Yaichi (son of the equally famous potter, Kusube Sennosuke 1859-1940) and Kiyomizu Rokubei VI. Together, they helped promote Kyoto pottery, while passionately nurturing the birth of bright, young potters.
Kusube Yaichi (1897- 1984), dubbed by some as the modern-day Ninsei, gained fame for the technique of elegantly layering different coloured clays, while applying intricate over-glaze enamels over the clay body. This technique eventually awarded him a Fellowship into the ultra-exclusive Japan Art Academy. Only 10 potters were ever named Fellows.
He was awarded the Japan Arts Academy (Nihon Geijutsu-in) Prize in 1954, Mainichi Art Prize in 1972 and was named a Person of Cultural Merit the same year. He was honoured with an Order of Cultural Merits in 1978, reflecting his lifelong enthusiasm for creation. His works have been sold at auction by the likes of Christies”

Baekje Kingdom 2
Baekje Kingdom
---------------------------
Baekje, Baekjae, or Paekche (18 BCE - 660 CE) was a kingdom located in southwest Korea. It was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, together with Goguryeo and Silla.
Baekje was founded by Onjo, the third son of Goguryeo's founder Jumong and So Seo-no, at Wiryeseong (present-day southern Seoul). Baekje, like Goguryeo, claimed to succeed Buyeo, a state established in present-day Manchuria around the time of Gojoseon's fall.
Baekje alternately battled and allied with Goguryeo and Silla as the three kingdoms expanded control over the peninsula. At its peak in the 4th century, Baekje controlled most of the western Korean peninsula, and may have even held territories in China, such as in Liaoxi, though this is controversial. It became a significant regional sea power, with political and trade relations with China and Japan.
In 660, it was defeated by an alliance of Silla and Chinese Tang Dynasty, submitting to Unified Silla.
To confront the military pressure of Goguryeo to its north and Silla to its east, Baekje (Kudara in Japanese) established close relations with Japan. According to the Korean chronicle Samguk Sagi, Baekje and Silla sent some princes to the Japanese court as hostages. Whether the princes sent to Japan should be interpreted as diplomats as part of an embassy or literal hostages is debated. Due to the confusion on the exact nature of this relationship (the question of whether the Baekje Koreans were family or at least close to the Japanese Imperial line or whether they were hostages) and the fact that the Nihon Shoki, a primary source of material for this relationship, is a compilation of myth, makes it difficult to evaluate. The Samguk Sagi, which also documents this, can also be interpreted in various ways and at any rate it was rewritten in the 13th century, easily seven or eight centuries after these particular events took place. Adding to the confusion is the discovery (in Japan) that the Inariyama sword, as well as some other swords discovered in Japan, utilized the Korean 'Idu' system of writing. The swords originated in Paekche and that the kings named in their inscriptions represent Paekche kings rather than Japanese kings. The techniques for making these swords were the apparently similar to styles from Korea, specifically from Baekje. In Japan, the hostage interpretation is dominant.
Koreans, diplomats and royal relatives or not, brought to Japan knowledge of the Chinese writing system, Buddhism, iron processing for weapons, and various other technologies. In exchange, Japan provided military support.
Some members of the Baekje nobility and royalty emigrated to Japan even before the kingdom was overthrown. In response to Baekje's request, Japan in 663 sent the general Abe no Hirafu with 20,000 troops and 1,000 ships to revive Baekje with Buyeo Pung (known in Japanese as Hōshō), a son of Uija of Baekje who had been an emissary to Japan. Around August 661, 10,000 soldiers and 170 ships, led by Abe no Hirafu, arrived. Additional Japanese reinforcement, including 27,000 soldiers led by Kamitsukeno no Kimi Wakako and 10,000 soldiers led by Iohara no Kimi also arrived at Baekje in 662.
This attempt, however, failed at the battle of Baekgang, and the prince escaped to Goguryeo. According to the Nihon Shoki, 400 Japanese ships were lost in the battles. Only half of the troops were able to return to Japan.
The Japanese army retreated to Japan with many Baekje refugees. The former royal family members were initially treated as foreign guests (蕃客) and were not incorporated into the political system of Japan for some time. Buyeo Pung's younger brother Sun-gwang (Zenkō in Japanese) (善光 or 禅広) used the family name Kudara no Konikishi (King of Baekje) (百濟王) (they are also called the Kudara clan, as Baekje was called Kudara in Japanese). The mother of Emperor Kammu (737-806) was Takano no Niigasa, a descendant of King Muryeong of Baekje. Emperor Kammu treated the Kudara no Konikishi clan as his relatives by marriage. Baekje royalty are also the ancestors of the Ouchi clan, the Sue clan, Soga clan and others.
The tomb of Baekje king Muryeong had many artifacts in it including a crown, gogoks, sword, and diadems.

Nara, a inland prefecture in the Kinki Region in the center of Kii Peninsula, is the cradle of the Japanese civilization. Many of the early emperors built their palaces in Nara Prefecture, formerly called Yamato. The Japan's first full-scale capital was set up on Heijo, current Nara city, in 710.

☆Bits of knowledge〜Tokyo Bunka Kaikan〜
Tokyo Bunka Kaikan is one of the oldest concert halls for classical music in Japan. It opened in April 1961 in response to a desire by the public for a venue to enjoy opera and ballet in Japan. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government constructed it as part of its 500th anniversary celebration. Since then, it's been sometimes dubbed the 'Music Palace'. However, I would like to call it a 'Ballet Palace' as well, for many major ballet concerts have been held for decades here at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
Unfortunately, there are no concert halls in Japan as historical and magnificent as theaters like The Palais Garnier, The Teatro alla Scala, The Bolshoi Theatre and The Mariinsky Theatre are. The only ones in which we can see traditional performing arts and be proud of would probably be the Kabuki-za in Ginza or Minami-za in Kyoto. Yet considering the fact that 'Western' culture such as classical music and ballet have been imported to Japan without restrictions only after the Second World War, you can understand why we don't have many 'historical' concert halls in Japan.

The Stele of Gwanggaeto the Great of Goguryeo
The Stele of Gwanggaeto the Great of Goguryeo
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The stele of Gwanggaeto the Great of Goguryeo was erected in 414 by Jangsu of Goguryeo as a memorial to his deceased father. It is one of the major primary sources extant for the history of Goguryeo, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, and supplies invaluable historical detail on his reign as well as insights into Goguryeo mythology. It stands near the tomb of Gwanggaeto in what is today the city of Ji'an along the Yalu River in present-day northeast China, which was the capital of Goguryeo at that time. It is carved out of a single mass of granite, stands nearly 7 meters tall and has a girth of almost 4 meters. The inscription is written exclusively in Classical Chinese and has 1802 characters. The stele has also become a focal point of varying national rivalries in East Asia manifested in the interpretations of the stele's inscription and the place of the Empire of Goguryeo in modern historical narratives. An exact replica of the Gwanggaeto Stele stands on the grounds of War Memorial of Seoul and the rubbed copies made in 1881 and 1883 are in the custody of China and the National Museum of Japan, respectively, testament to the stele's centrality in the history of Korea and part of Manchuria. The stele's location, in Ji'an in the northeastern Chinese province of Jilin, was key to its long neglect. Following the fall of Goguryeo in 668, and to a lesser extent the fall of its successor state Balhae in 926, the region drifted outside the sway of both Chinese and Korean geopolitics. Afterwards the region came under the control of numerous Manchurian states, notably the Jurchen and from the 16th century the Manchu. When the Manchu conquered China in 1644 and established their hegemony, they guarded their ancestral homeland in Manchuria, prohibiting movement there by any non-Manchu peoples. This seclusion came to an end at the end of the 19th century, when the region was opened up for Han Chinese emigration. Manchuria thereafter became the coveted prize of vying regional powers, notably Russia and Japan for its rich natural resources and strategic location. The opening up of Manchuria also resulted in the influx of Chinese and Japanese scholars, the latter often supplemented by Japanese spies traveling incognito to spy the region's fortifications and natural layout, prescient of a future of increased international rivalry. In the late 19th century many new arrivals to the region around Ji'an began making use of the many bricks and baked tiles that could be found in the region to build new dwellings. The curious inscriptions on some of these tiles soon reached the ears of Chinese scholars and epigraphers. Many were found to bear an inscription in ancient Chinese script reading: May the mausoleum of the Great King be secure like a mountain and firm like a peak. It was around 1875 that an amateur Chinese epigrapher Guan Yueshan, scrounging for more samples of such tiles around Ji'an, discovered the mammoth stone stele of Gwanggaeto obscured under centuries of mud and overgrowth. The clearing away of the stele's face invariably led to the damaging of its engraved text. Almost every inch of the stele's four sides were found to be covered with Chinese characters (nearly 1800 in total), each about the size of a grown man's hand. The discovery soon attracted scholars from Japan, Russia, and France. In 1883 a young Japanese officer named Sakō Kageaki traveling in the guise of an itinerant Buddhist monk arrived in Ji'an. Sakō had been ordered from his last post in Beijing to proceed back to Japan via Manchuria and to make detailed observations there of the region's layout. It was while traveling through Liaoning that he apparently heard of the stele's recent discovery and managed to procure an ink rubbing of the stele's face to carry back to his homeland. It was scholars in Japan who were to make the first detailed analysis of the stele's ancient text.
The inscription of the stele can be found in some of the sites listed below.
