JR-Pass Day 4: NARA & UJI | JAPAN | JVlog
Heute gibt es etwas aus dem Archiv, denn es geht weiter mit meiner JR-Pass-Reise im Oktober 2016. Es ist eigenartig zu sehen, wie ich vor zwei Jahren gefilmt habe. Andererseits freut es mich auch, dass ich mich (glaube ich zumindest) mit der Zeit verbessert habe :3
.
An meinem 4. Tag mit dem JR-Pass ging es für mich von Kyoto aus nach Nara. Da es dort so voll war, bin ich dann nach Uji weiter gefahren.
.
Meine Artikel zur Reise findet ihr auf meinem Blog:

Today we have something from my archive, because we are going on with my JR Pass trip in October 2016. It is strange to see how I filmed two years ago. But I am also happy that it seems like I got better with it (at least I think so) :3
.
My 4th day with the JR Pass brought me from Kyoto to Nara. However, I went to Uji then because Nara was so crowded.
.
Have fun with the video and leave me a thumb up and a comment ♥

You like what I am doing and want to support me?
Buy me a coffee on Ko-fi ♥

[Beautiful Japan] HIROSHIMA Itsukushima Shrine
Itsukushima Shrine (Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture)
A magnificent shrine floots on the water, in harmony with its natural surroundings
Made Governor of the province then known as 'Aki' during the Heian period (794-1185), the great warlord Taira no Kiyomori (1118-1181) made improvements to the existing Itsukushima Shrine, creating a sight unique in all the world, a structure that appears
to float on the waves. It is said that behind the brilliant idea of making the sea
into the temple approach, over and above the island itself (also known as 'Miyajima'
or 'Shrine Island') being held sacred and thus no building being allowed there,
was Kiyomori's great ambition of encouraging trade with Song-dynasty China.
He wished with this shrine to demonstrate the renewal of the country and its connection
with the outside world. The tori front gate is built in a manner which makes it appear
to float upon the waves, welcoming into the deep pocket of the bay all that approaches from over the sea. The main sanctuary connected by passageways and built without walls in the fashion of the residences of 12th-century nobility is in beautiful harmony
with their natural backdrop of Mt. Misen and the vast expanse of sea. This magnificent shrine, the fountainhead of the Japanese esthetic of harmony among all things—gods, nature, people, and the wide world—was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site
in 1996.

The urban area houses the seat of the Emperor of Japan, of the Japanese government and of the National Diet. Tokyo forms part of the Kantō region on the southeastern side of Japan's main island, Honshu, and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Tokyo was formerly named Edo when Shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu made the city as his headquarters in 1603. It became the capital after Emperor Meiji moved his seat to the city from Kyoto in 1868; at that time Edo was renamed Tokyo. Tokyo Metropolis formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府, Tōkyō-fu) and the city of Tokyo (東京市, Tōkyō-shi).
Tokyo is often referred to as a city but is officially known and governed as a metropolitan prefecture, which differs from and combines elements of a city and a prefecture, a characteristic unique to Tokyo.
The 23 Special Wards of Tokyo were formerly Tokyo City.

The prefecture is part of the world's most populous metropolitan area called the Greater Tokyo Area with over 38 million people and the world's largest urban agglomeration economy. As of 2011, Tokyo hosted 51 of the Fortune Global 500 companies, the highest number of any city in the world at that time. Tokyo ranked third (twice) in the International Financial Centres Development Index. The city is home to various television networks such as Fuji TV, Tokyo MX, TV Tokyo, TV Asahi, Nippon Television, NHK and the Tokyo Broadcasting System.

The GaWC's 2008 inventory classified Tokyo as an alpha+ world city – and as of 2014 TripAdvisor's World City Survey ranked Tokyo first in its Best overall experience category (the city also ranked first in the following categories: helpfulness of locals, nightlife, shopping, local public transportation and cleanliness of streets). As of 2015 Tokyo ranked as the 11th-most expensive city for expatriates, according to the Mercer consulting firm, and also the world's 11th-most expensive city according to the Economist Intelligence Unit's cost-of-living survey. In 2015, Tokyo was named the Most Liveable City in the world by the magazine Monocle. The Michelin Guide has awarded Tokyo by far the most Michelin stars of any city in the world. Tokyo was ranked first out of all sixty cities in the 2017 Safe Cities Index.

--- INTRODUCTION --
An Interview with Baptiste Tavernier, Budoka, artist, and writer.
Baptiste Tavernier, born 1981 in France, pursues a creative path that has led him from experimental music through the martial arts of Japan, to the painter’s canvas.
He discovered Budo at the age of 8 when he joined his local judo club.
While studying digital art and musicology in college, he started practicing a rather rare martial art called Bozendo in France in 1999.
He left for Japan in 2006 and joined the International Budo University for 8 years where he focused on the study of modern Budo and traditional Bujutsu.
He is now a Renshi 6th Dan in Tankendo, 4th Dan in Jukendo and Naginata, 2nd Dan in Battodo, shodan in Bozendo, and has some experience in Aikido, Judo, Tendo Ryu Naginata-jutsu, Tatsumi Ryu Heiho and Isshin Ryu Naginata-jutsu.
Deeply involved in the international diffusion of Jukendo and Tankendo, he is now the chairman of the All Japan Jukendo Federation’s International Committee. He regularly writes articles in the Kendo World magazine and has published a book on Miyamoto Musashi’s Heiho Sanjugo Kajo, “The 35 Articles of Swordsmanship” that precede the famous Book of 5 rings.
Baptiste currently lives in Taipei where he teaches Jukendo and Tankendo and develops his creative work. He has exhibited in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Miami, Taipei, Rotterdam and many other cities.
During one of his numerous trips to Japan, this time on the occasion of the Kendo world annual Keikokai, he accepted our invitation and we met in early August 2017 for this interview.

SUMMARY
=======
Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō, English: , Japanese: [toːkʲoː] (listen); lit. Eastern Capital), officially Tokyo Metropolis (東京都, Tōkyō-to), one of the 47 prefectures of Japan, has served as the Japanese capital since 1869. As of 2014, the Greater Tokyo Area ranked as the most populous metropolitan area in the world. The urban area houses the seat of the Emperor of Japan, of the Japanese government and of the National Diet. Tokyo forms part of the Kantō region on the southeastern side of Japan's main island, Honshu, and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Tokyo was formerly named Edo when Shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu made the city his headquarters in 1603. It became the capital after Emperor Meiji moved his seat to the city from Kyoto in 1868; at that time Edo was renamed Tokyo. Tokyo Metropolis formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府, Tōkyō-fu) and the city of Tokyo (東京市, Tōkyō-shi). Tokyo is often referred to as a city but is officially known and governed as a metropolitan prefecture, which differs from and combines elements of a city and a prefecture, a characteristic unique to Tokyo.
The 23 Special Wards of Tokyo were formerly Tokyo City. On July 1, 1943, it merged with Tokyo Prefecture and became Tokyo Metropolis with an additional 26 municipalities in the western part of the prefecture, and the Izu islands and Ogasawara islands south of Tokyo. The population of the special wards is over 9 million people, with the total population of Tokyo Metropolis exceeding 13.8 million. The prefecture is part of the world's most populous metropolitan area called the Greater Tokyo Area with over 38 million people and the world's largest urban agglomeration economy. As of 2011, Tokyo hosted 51 of the Fortune Global 500 companies, the highest number of any city in the world at that time. Tokyo ranked third (twice) in the International Financial Centres Development Index. The city is home to various television networks such as Fuji TV, Tokyo MX, TV Tokyo, TV Asahi, Nippon Television, NHK and the Tokyo Broadcasting System.
Tokyo ranks first in the Global Economic Power Index and third in the Global Cities Index. The GaWC's 2008 inventory classified Tokyo as an alpha+ world city – and as of 2014 TripAdvisor's World City Survey ranked Tokyo first in its Best overall experience category (the city also ranked first in the following categories: helpfulness of locals, nightlife, shopping, local public transportation and cleanliness of streets).
