						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since the Edo period, the Hozuki Ichi (Chinese Lantern Plant Fair) is held on every year, on July 9th and 10th, at the Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physalis_alkekengi" target="_blank"&gt;Hozuki&lt;/a&gt; it&amp;#8217;s cultivated as an ornamental plant and as a medicinal herb, used by pregnant women to reduce fever and discomfort. The name comes from the shape and texture of the fruit, that looks like a small paper lantern.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;#206;nc&amp;#259; din perioada Edo, pe 9 &amp;#351;i 10 iulie, la templul Senso-ji din Asakusa are loc t&amp;#226;rgul de &lt;em&gt;hozuki (Chinese lantern plant)&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physalis_alkekengi" target="_blank"&gt;Hozuki &lt;/a&gt;au fost cultivate at&amp;#226;t ca plante medicinale, fiind folosite pentru sc&amp;#259;derea febrei &amp;#351;i pentru sc&amp;#259;derea disconfortului pentru femeile gravide, c&amp;#226;t &amp;#351;i ca plante decorative. Numele vine de la forma &amp;#351;i textura fructelor, asem&amp;#259;n&amp;#259;toare cu un mic felinar din h&amp;#226;rtie.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>&#206;nc&#259; din perioada Edo, pe 9 &#351;i 10 iulie, la templul Senso-ji din Asakusa are loc t&#226;rgul de <em>hozuki (Chinese lantern plant)</em>. <a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physalis_alkekengi" target="_blank">Hozuki </a>au fost cultivate at&#226;t ca plante medicinale, fiind folosite pentru sc&#259;derea febrei &#351;i pentru sc&#259;derea disconfortului pentru femeile gravide, c&#226;t &#351;i ca plante decorative. Numele vine de la forma &#351;i textura fructelor, asem&#259;n&#259;toare cu un mic felinar din h&#226;rtie.</p>

						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I learned from &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/07/arts/design/07capsule.html?_r=5&amp;amp;ref=global-home&amp;amp;pagewanted=all" target="_blank"&gt;The New York Times&lt;/a&gt; that two years ago, the residents of Nakajin Capsule Tower voted in favor of demolition. Even that the building has been listed for the World Heritage, since 1996, by the &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.docomomo.com/" target="_blank"&gt;International Committee of Docomomo International&lt;/a&gt;, the tower is still standing only because of lack of funds for demolition.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nakagin Capsule Tower, designed by the architect Kurokawa Kisho, was completed in 1972. Built in the &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolist_Movement" target="_blank"&gt;Metabolist style&lt;/a&gt;, the tower consists of 140 capsules, designed to be detachable and replaceable. However, this possibility was never used, because of the very high costs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/tokyo-night" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/ginza/nakagin-capsule-tower-01.jpg" alt="The Nakagin Capsule Tower" title="The Nakagin Capsule Tower" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Presently, the tower is in a bad shape. Still, I think that this building, reconditioned and eventually transformed into a tourist attraction, could still be successful.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I photographed the Nakagin Capsule Tower at night, from Shiodome.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Between 6th and 8th July, at Iriya Kishimojin Temple in Ueno, it was held the Iriya Asagao Ichi (Morning Glory Fair).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The schedule varies every year, so if you want to participate in 2010, you should inquire in advance. Last year, when I participated, the fair took place between 18th and 20th July. I knew that the fair attracts over 500,000 visitors, so to avoid the heat and congestion, I went in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;
I got off the train at the Iriya Station, and passing under the arcade announcing the event, I headed towards the temple, on Kototoi-dori.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/ueno" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/ueno/morning-glory-11.jpg" alt="Iriya Asagao Ichi (Morning Glory Fair)" title="Iriya Asagao Ichi (Morning Glory Fair)" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the temple courtyard and on the street there were dozens of stands, loaded with &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/index.php/weblog/eng/did-you-know-morning-glory"&gt;asagao&lt;/a&gt; pots: &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;#206;ntre 6 &amp;#351;i 8 iulie, la templul Iriya Kishimojin din Ueno a avut loc t&amp;#226;rgul de flori Iriya Asagao (Morning Glory). &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Data variaz&amp;#259; de la an la an, deci dac&amp;#259; vre&amp;#355;i s&amp;#259; participa&amp;#355;i anul urm&amp;#259;tor trebuie s&amp;#259; v&amp;#259; interesa&amp;#355;i din timp. Anul trecut, c&amp;#226;nd am participat eu, a avut loc pe 18-20 iulie. T&amp;#226;rgul atrage peste 500.000 de vizitatori, a&amp;#351;a c&amp;#259; pentru a evita c&amp;#259;ldura &amp;#351;i aglomera&amp;#355;ia, m-am dus de diminea&amp;#355;&amp;#259;.&lt;br /&gt;
Am cobor&amp;#226;t la sta&amp;#355;ia Iriya, am trecut pe sub arcada care anun&amp;#355;a evenimentul &amp;#351;i am mers pe Kototoi-dori spre templu.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I like Japanese festivals, Buddhist and Shinto alike, they transpose me into their magical world, with &lt;em&gt;kami&lt;/em&gt;, supernatural beings and romantic stories, they make me see the world with child&amp;#8217;s eyes and enjoy simple things.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the most romantic of all is the story about the two lovers, Hiko Boshi (Altair) and Orihime Boshi (Vega), who can meet only once a year, on the 7th day of the 7th month, at &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanabata" target="_blank"&gt;Tanabata&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The previous day, on 6th July, I went to the Asakusa Shrine, where the bamboo branch was already decorated with many wish notes (&lt;em&gt;tanzaku&lt;/em&gt;), in different colors. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.anime-junctions.net/aj/poze-cultura/tanabata-1.jpg" alt="Tanabata" title="Tanabata" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#8217;t know how it was at the end of the festival, probably loaded with &lt;em&gt;tanzaku&lt;/em&gt;, I went to see it the next day but it was already shed on the Sumida river, as customary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="rom"  name="rom" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Impresii de c&amp;#259;l&amp;#259;torie - Tanabata&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;S&amp;#259;rb&amp;#259;torile japoneze, &amp;#351;i cele de origine budist&amp;#259; &amp;#351;i cele shinto, m&amp;#259; fac s&amp;#259; privesc lumea cu ochi de copil &amp;#351;i s&amp;#259; m&amp;#259; bucur de lucruri simple, reu&amp;#351;esc s&amp;#259; m&amp;#259; transpun&amp;#259; &amp;#238;n lumea lor magic&amp;#259;, cu &lt;em&gt;kami&lt;/em&gt;, fiin&amp;#355;e supranaturale &amp;#351;i pove&amp;#351;ti romantice.&lt;br /&gt;
Poate cea mai romantic&amp;#259; dintre toate este povestea despre cei doi &amp;#238;ndr&amp;#259;gosti&amp;#355;i, Hiko Boshi (Altair) &amp;#351;i Orihime Boshi (Vega), care se pot &amp;#238;nt&amp;#226;lni o singur&amp;#259; dat&amp;#259; pe an, &amp;#238;n cea de a &amp;#351;aptea zi a celei de a &amp;#351;aptea luni, de &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanabata" target="_blank"&gt;Tanabata&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cu o zi &amp;#238;nainte, pe 6 iulie, fusesem la altarul Asakusa din complexul Senso-ji, unde ramura de bambus pentru Tanabata era deja &amp;#238;mpodobit&amp;#259; cu destul de multe bile&amp;#355;ele colorate (&lt;em&gt;tanzaku&lt;/em&gt;), pe care erau scrise dorin&amp;#355;e. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nu &amp;#351;tiu cum a ar&amp;#259;tat &amp;#238;n final, probabil c&amp;#259; a fost mult mai &amp;#238;nc&amp;#259;rcat&amp;#259;. Am vrut s&amp;#259; o v&amp;#259;d, dar a doua zi diminea&amp;#355;a c&amp;#226;nd am ajuns acolo, creanga nu mai era, fusese deja luat&amp;#259; &amp;#351;i pus&amp;#259; pe r&amp;#226;ul &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumida_River" target="_blank"&gt;Sumida&lt;/a&gt;, a&amp;#351;a cum este obiceiul.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another small Shinto shrine, discovered in Asakusa, hidden between buildings:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hardly noticeable from the street, the &lt;em&gt;torii &lt;/em&gt;is camouflaged by two big trees and it is the same color as the fence.&lt;/p&gt;

						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The statuary group from the foot of Tokyo Tower was erected by the Japan Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (&lt;em&gt;Nihon Dobutsu Aigo Kyokai&lt;/em&gt;) to commemorate the 15 Karafuto (&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakhalin_Husky" target="_blank"&gt;Sakhalin husky&lt;/a&gt;) dogs that were part of the Japanese research expedition to Antarctica in 1958.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I love animals, wild and domestic, and the story of these dogs deeply moved me. I saw the statue on a hot summer night, wrapped in a blue light:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/tokyo-tower" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/minato/karafuto-dogs-statue-03.jpg" alt="Karafuto dogs memorial statue" title="Karafuto dogs memorial statue" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The expedition members were forced to make an emergency evacuation and, for reasons unknown to me, they couldn&amp;#8217;t take the dogs with them. Believing that the rescue team will arrive in a few days, they left some food and departed. Another thing that I didn&amp;#8217;t understand is why they left the dogs chained. The weather turned bad and the rescue team couldn&amp;#8217;t reach the base.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A new expedition arrived after a year and found two dogs alive: Taro and Jiro. The two dogs somehow managed to broke free from the chains and managed to survive. Taro and Jiso were declared heroes, and in 1983, a film was made about their story, &lt;a class="linkaj" href=" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nankyoku_Monogatari" target="_blank"&gt;Nankyoku Monogatari&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/tokyo-tower" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/minato/karafuto-dogs-statue-02.jpg" alt="Karafuto dogs memorial statue" title="Karafuto dogs memorial statue" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Taro lived on in Sapporo, at Hokkaido University. After his death in 1970, he was stuffed and put on display at the university&amp;#8217;s museum. Jiro returned with another expedition in Antarctica, where he died in 1960.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id="rom" name="rom" style="display: none"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Statuia de la piciorul lui Tokyo Tower a fost a ridicat&amp;#259; de Societatea Japonez&amp;#259; pentru Prevenirea Cruzimii contra Animalelor (&lt;em&gt;Nihon Dobutsu Aigo Kyokai&lt;/em&gt;) &amp;#238;n amintirea celor 15 c&amp;#226;ini Karafuto (&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakhalin_Husky" target="_blank"&gt;Sakhalin husky&lt;/a&gt;) care au f&amp;#259;cut parte din expedi&amp;#355;ia japonez&amp;#259; din Antarctica din anul 1958.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Iubesc animalele, &amp;#351;i cele s&amp;#259;lbatice &amp;#351;i cele domestice, iar povestea acestor c&amp;#226;ini m-a tulburat. Am v&amp;#259;zut statuia &amp;#238;ntr-o noapte cald&amp;#259; de var&amp;#259;, &amp;#238;nv&amp;#259;luit&amp;#259; &amp;#238;ntr-o lumin&amp;#259; albastr&amp;#259; &amp;#351;i mi-a dat fiori de ghea&amp;#355;&amp;#259;. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Membri expedi&amp;#355;iei au fost nevoi&amp;#355;i s&amp;#259; plece de la baza din Antarctica &amp;#351;i, din motive pe care nu le-am aflat, nu au putut s&amp;#259; ia cu ei &amp;#351;i c&amp;#226;inii. Crez&amp;#226;nd c&amp;#259; echipa de salvare va veni &amp;#238;n c&amp;#226;teva zile, au l&amp;#259;sat c&amp;#226;inilor o provizie de m&amp;#226;ncare &amp;#351;i au plecat. Un alt lucru pe care nu l-am aflat este de ce i-au l&amp;#259;sat lega&amp;#355;i. Vremea s-a &amp;#238;nr&amp;#259;ut&amp;#259;&amp;#355;it &amp;#351;i echipa de salvare nu a mai putut ajunge la baz&amp;#259;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;O nou&amp;#259; expedi&amp;#355;ie, care a ajuns acolo dup&amp;#259; un an, a g&amp;#259;sit doi c&amp;#226;ini &amp;#238;n via&amp;#355;&amp;#259;: Taro &amp;#351;i Jiro. Cei doi au reu&amp;#351;it s&amp;#259; se dezlege &amp;#351;i au reu&amp;#351;it s&amp;#259; suprevie&amp;#355;uiasc&amp;#259;.

						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I took a ride with the water bus Himiko on the Sumida river, from Asakusa to Odaiba, I was surprised to see on the deck a few characters from the anime series Galaxy Express 999.&lt;br /&gt;
 	&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/tags/49-himiko" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/asakusa/himiko-03.jpg" alt="Water bus Himiko, interior" title="Water bus Himiko, interior" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I found out afterwards that the ship was designed by a mangaka, the creator of Galaxy Express 999 and Captain Harlock, &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leiji_Matsumoto" target="_blank"&gt;Leiji Matsumoto&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/tags/49-himiko" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/odaiba/himiko-06.jpg" alt="Water bus Himiko in Odaiba" title="Water bus Himiko in Odaiba" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Himiko has a really great design, teardrop shaped, with a glass roof.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/tags/49-himiko" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/odaiba/himiko-04.jpg" alt="Water bus Himiko in Odaiba" title="Water bus Himiko in Odaiba" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More Himiko pictures on the &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/tags/49-himiko" target="_blank"&gt;photo gallery&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="rom" name="rom" style="display: none"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Atunci c&amp;#226;nd m-am plimbat cu vaporul Himiko pe r&amp;#226;ul Sumida, din Asakusa &amp;#351;i p&amp;#226;n&amp;#259; &amp;#238;n Odaiba, m-a surprins faptul c&amp;#259; &amp;#238;n interior am v&amp;#259;zut c&amp;#226;teva personaje din seria anime Galaxy Express 999.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/tags/49-himiko" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/asakusa/himiko-03.jpg" alt="Water bus Himiko, interior" title="Water bus Himiko, interior" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Am aflat dup&amp;#259; aceea c&amp;#259; vaporul a fost proiectat de un cunoscut mangaka, creatorul Galaxy Express 999 &amp;#351;i Captain Harlock, &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leiji_Matsumoto" target="_blank"&gt;Leiji Matsumoto&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Himiko are un design deosebit, de forma unei lacrimi, cu acoperi&amp;#351;ul de sticl&amp;#259;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/tags/49-himiko" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/odaiba/himiko-04.jpg" alt="Water bus Himiko in Odaiba" title="Water bus Himiko in Odaiba" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kamidana&lt;/em&gt; is a miniature Shinto shrine placed high on the wall, on a well-lighted and quiet zone from houses or shops and businesses. An orientation facing east or south is generally considered desirable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/edo-tokyo-open-air-museum" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/koganei/kamidana-01.jpg" alt="Kamidana" title="Kamidana" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In most cases, &lt;em&gt;kamidana&lt;/em&gt; enshrines a local god (&lt;em&gt;kami&lt;/em&gt;) or a god associated with the family. The altar contains sacred tablets (&lt;em&gt;ofuda&lt;/em&gt;) which are inscribed with written prayers and sanctified by a priest. Ofuda are typically replaced every year. The &lt;em&gt;kamidana&lt;/em&gt; also contains a wide variety of items related to the Shinto style ceremony, like a small mirror (&lt;em&gt;kagami&lt;/em&gt;), a miniature wooden box for coins (&lt;em&gt;saisenbako&lt;/em&gt;), two vases for &lt;em&gt;sakaki&lt;/em&gt; leaves (&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakaki" target="_blank"&gt;Cleyera japonica&lt;/a&gt;), offering vessels (water, solt, sake, rice) and &lt;em&gt;shimenawa&lt;/em&gt; (the sacred rope from rice straw, traditionally used to delimitate a sacred area).&lt;/p&gt;

						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another small shrine, hidden between tall, modern buildings, on Edo Dori, in Asakusa:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/asakusa" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/asakusa/shinto-shrine-edo-dori-01.jpg" alt="Shinto Shrine Edo Dori" title="Shinto Shrine Edo Dori" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Torii is located behind a small fence and could easily pass unnoticed:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/asakusa" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/asakusa/shinto-shrine-edo-dori-02.jpg" alt="Shinto Shrine Edo Dori" title="Shinto Shrine Edo Dori" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
I discovered it just because the hotel where I was accomodated was three buildings away (the building with orange, visible here on Google Maps):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id="rom" name="rom" style="display: none"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pe Edo Dori, &amp;#238;ntre dou&amp;#259; cl&amp;#259;diri &amp;#238;nalte, se afl&amp;#259; un mic altar shinto:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/asakusa" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/asakusa/shinto-shrine-edo-dori-01.jpg" alt="Shinto Shrine Edo Dori" title="Shinto Shrine Edo Dori" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Torii se afl&amp;#259; &amp;#238;n spatele unui mic gard &amp;#351;i a unor copaci &amp;#351;i dac&amp;#259; nu e&amp;#351;ti atent, mai ales seara, s-ar putea nici s&amp;#259; nu-l observi.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/asakusa" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/asakusa/shinto-shrine-edo-dori-02.jpg" alt="Shinto Shrine Edo Dori" title="Shinto Shrine Edo Dori" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;L-am descoperit doar datorit&amp;#259; faptului c&amp;#259; hotelul la care eram cazat&amp;#259; se afl&amp;#259; la trei blocuri distan&amp;#355;&amp;#259; (cl&amp;#259;direa cu portocaliu din partea st&amp;#226;ng&amp;#259; &amp;#238;n Google Maps):&lt;/p&gt;

						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Close to the entrance to the Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum, surrounded by greenery, there is a monument from the Edo period, the most beautiful building in the museum. I was delighted by the beauty and the colors and I returned at different times of day, seeking better light to take pictures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/edo-tokyo-open-air-museum"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/koganei/edo-tokyo-open-air-museum-60.jpg" alt="Jisho-in Mausoleum at Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum" title="Jisho-in Mausoleum at Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This building is the Jisho-in Mausoleum, built in 1652 by the wife of Mitsutomo Tokugawa, Princess Chiyo, in memory of her mother, Lady Ofuri, concubine of the shogun Iemitsu Tokugawa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/edo-tokyo-open-air-museum"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/koganei/edo-tokyo-open-air-museum-53.jpg" alt="Jisho-in Mausoleum at Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum" title="Jisho-in Mausoleum at Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The rich decoration, was made by an eminent family of carpenters, Kora, who were also involved in the construction of Edo Castle and Toshougu Shrine from Nikko.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/edo-tokyo-open-air-museum"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/koganei/edo-tokyo-open-air-museum-55.jpg" alt="Jisho-in Mausoleum at Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum" title="Jisho-in Mausoleum at Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The mausoleum was part of the Jisho Temple in Ichigaya, Shinjuku-ku, and it is one of the few buildings in Tokyo that remained untouched during the bombings of the Second World War.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/edo-tokyo-open-air-museum"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/koganei/edo-tokyo-open-air-museum-54.jpg" alt="Jisho-in Mausoleum at Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum" title="Jisho-in Mausoleum at Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was declared a cultural landmark and was donated to museum by the Seibu Railway Co.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/edo-tokyo-open-air-museum"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/koganei/edo-tokyo-open-air-museum-61.jpg" alt="Jisho-in Mausoleum at Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum" title="Jisho-in Mausoleum at Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id="rom" name="rom" style="display: none"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Foarte aproape de intrarea &amp;#238;n muzeul Edo Tokyo Open Air, &amp;#238;nconjurat de verdea&amp;#355;&amp;#259;, se afl&amp;#259; un monument din perioada Edo, cea mai frumoas&amp;#259; cl&amp;#259;dire din muzeu. De fiecare dat&amp;#259; c&amp;#226;nd am vizitat muzeul am fost &amp;#238;nc&amp;#226;ntat&amp;#259; de frumuse&amp;#355;ea sculpturii &amp;#351;i a culorilor vii &amp;#351;i am revenit l&amp;#226;ng&amp;#259; el la diferite ore ale zilei pentru a-l privi &amp;#351;i a-i face fotografii.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/edo-tokyo-open-air-museum"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/koganei/edo-tokyo-open-air-museum-60.jpg" alt="Jisho-in Mausoleum at Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum" title="Jisho-in Mausoleum at Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Este vorba de Mausoleul Jisho-in, construit &amp;#238;n 1652 de c&amp;#259;tre prin&amp;#355;esa Chiyo, so&amp;#355;ia lordului Mitsutomo Tokugawa, &amp;#238;n onoarea mamei sale, doamna Ofuri, concubina shogunului Iemitsu Tokugawa.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Decora&amp;#355;iunile au fost realizate de o familie renumit&amp;#259; de t&amp;#226;mplari, Kora, me&amp;#351;teri care au lucrat &amp;#351;i la Castelul Edo &amp;#351;i la altarul Toshougu din Nikko.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mausoleul a f&amp;#259;cut parte din complexul Jisho din Ichigaya, Shinjuku-ku &amp;#351;i este unul din pu&amp;#355;inele construc&amp;#355;ii din Tokyo care au r&amp;#259;mas neatinse &amp;#238;n timpul bombardamentelor din cel de-a doilea r&amp;#259;zboi mondial.&lt;/p&gt;

It suffered severe damage in 1923, as a result of the Great Kanto Eartquake, but it was restored to it&amp;#8217;s original state. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After the earthquake, the &lt;em&gt;koban&lt;/em&gt; lost his importance and was used as an office for traffic control officers.

						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the entrance of the Hie shrines, dedicated to Sannou, the deity from Mount Hiei (near Kyoto), there are usually two statues of monkey gods (Sarugami), a male and a female, guardians against evil spirits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/hie-shrine-asakasa" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/asakasa/hie-jinja-06.jpg" alt="Hie Shrine Asakasa" title="Hie Shrine Asakasa" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sarugami, especially the female, that carry a cub, are considered patrons of fertility, harmonious marriage and safe childbirth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/hie-shrine-asakasa" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/asakasa/hie-jinja-05.jpg" alt="Hie Shrine Asakasa" title="Hie Shrine Asakasa" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, Sarugami is the lord of the famous three monkeys that &amp;#8220;see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil", from the Toshougu Shrine in Nikko:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the entrance to the shrines of Inari, &lt;em&gt;kami &lt;/em&gt;of fertility, rice, agriculture and industry, there are usually two statues of &lt;em&gt;kitsune&lt;/em&gt; (foxes), a male and a female, the messengers of Inari and protectors against evil spirits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/ueno" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/ueno/hanazono-shrine-ueno-02.jpg" alt="Kitsune statue at Gojo Shrine in Ueno" title="Kitsune statue at Gojo Shrine in Ueno" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are several theories about how &lt;em&gt;kitsune&lt;/em&gt; became Inari&amp;#8217;s servant. An old Buddhist story tells us about a family of &lt;em&gt;kitsune &lt;/em&gt;that traveled to the shrine at Inari Mountain, to offer their services and &lt;em&gt;kami &lt;/em&gt;fulfilled their wishes, giving them the role of protectors. &lt;br /&gt;
Another theory is related to the foxes, that are hunting the rodents in the rice fields, thus protecting them.&lt;/p&gt;

When I make plans for holiday, in addition to maps and data about the places I wish to visit, I always search travel tips and information about discounts for tourists.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td align="right" valign="top"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tune-in-tokyo.com/2009/06/living-on-a-budget-in-japan-blog-matsuri/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/rsc/img/japan-blog-matsuri-160x40.jpg" alt="Japan Blog Matsuri" title="Japan Blog Matsuri" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After accommodation and meals, I spend the most on transportation. I travel a lot, and I always search for wished to have a pass for all kind of transportation services. &lt;br /&gt;
So I searched for something like that in Tokyo, and I found &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.tokyosubway.info/railpass.html" target="_blank"&gt;several passes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
However some are just for one day and a little too expensive and some are available just for one transportation company and don&amp;#8217;t&amp;#160; cover all the destinations. After a little more calculation, I discovered that it wouldn&amp;#8217;t be profitable, so I&amp;#8230; passed on all those passes.&lt;/p&gt;

I wrote many times about beautiful buildings in Tokyo, but I think it would also be interesting to show the&amp;#8230; other side.&lt;br /&gt;
This building from Asakusa, with those three cow sculptures, the mock-up shrine from the top and a terrible combination of colors, seemed to me worthy to be photographed, as a bad example. &lt;img src="http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/rsc/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt="&amp;#58;&amp;#112;" class="middle" /&gt;

			<title>Odakyu's Romancecar, the best train</title>
			<link>http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/index.php/weblog/eng/odakyu-romancecar-best-train</link>

<category domain="main">English</category>			<guid isPermaLink="false">2168@http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/</guid>
						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just read in the &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/national/news/20090616p2a00m0na017000c.html" target="_blank"&gt;Mainichi&lt;/a&gt; newspaper that Odakyu Electric Railway&amp;#8217;s express train Romancecar ( &amp;#12525;&amp;#12510;&amp;#12531;&amp;#12473;&amp;#12459;&amp;#12540; ) type &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odaky%C5%AB_60000_series_MSE" target="_blank"&gt;60000 MSE&lt;/a&gt; has won the Japan Railfan Club&amp;#8217;s Blue Ribbon Award for this year&amp;#8217;s best train.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the first reserved-seat limited-express train in Japan linked directly to a subway line (&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Metro_Chiyoda_Line" target="_blank"&gt;Chiyoda&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Metro_Y%C5%ABrakuch%C5%8D_Line" target="_blank"&gt;Y&amp;#363;rakuch&amp;#333;&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="videoblock"&gt;&lt;object data="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z3oj-w7WbN8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="600" height="420"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z3oj-w7WbN8"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Indeed, even if I haven&amp;#8217;t traveled yet with the 60000 MSE, in my opinion, the best traveling experience in Japan is with the Romancecar. &lt;br /&gt;
Most of the tourists are more interested in the faster and more famous &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkansen" target="_blank"&gt;Shinkansen&lt;/a&gt;. I was too, until I traveled a couple of times between Shinjuku and Hakone Yumoto. &lt;br /&gt;
Since then, my favorite is the &lt;strong&gt;50000 series VSE&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/japanese-trains" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/trains/odakyu-romance-car-10.jpg" alt="Odakyu's Romancecar" title="Odakyu's Romancecar" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Excellent first impression: &lt;img src="http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/rsc/smilies/icon_thumright.gif" alt="&amp;#58;&amp;#116;&amp;#104;&amp;#117;&amp;#109;&amp;#98;&amp;#58;" class="middle" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/japanese-trains" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/trains/odakyu-romance-car-02.jpg" alt="Odakyu's Romancecar" title="Odakyu's Romancecar" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Comfy seats:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/japanese-trains" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/trains/odakyu-romance-car-01.jpg" alt="Odakyu's Romancecar" title="Odakyu's Romancecar" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

<p>This is the first reserved-seat limited-express train in Japan linked directly to a subway line (<a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Metro_Chiyoda_Line" target="_blank">Chiyoda</a> and <a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Metro_Y%C5%ABrakuch%C5%8D_Line" target="_blank">Y&#363;rakuch&#333;</a>):</p>

<p>Indeed, even if I haven&#8217;t traveled yet with the 60000 MSE, in my opinion, the best traveling experience in Japan is with the Romancecar. <br />
Most of the tourists are more interested in the faster and more famous <a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkansen" target="_blank">Shinkansen</a>. I was too, until I traveled a couple of times between Shinjuku and Hakone Yumoto. <br />
Since then, my favorite is the <strong>50000 series VSE</strong>:</p>

						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the entrance of most of the Japanese Buddhist temples, you can see a pair of guardians, the &lt;em&gt;Nio&lt;/em&gt; (Benevolent Kings), protectors against the evil spirits (similar to the &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/index.php/weblog/eng/did-you-knew-koma-inu" target="_blank"&gt;koma-inu&lt;/a&gt; from the shinto shrines). According to Japanese traditions, they followed and protected Buddha when he traveled throughout India.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/rinno-ji-temple" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/nikko/nikko-rinoji-taiyuin-niomon-gate-03.jpg" alt="Niomon Gate at Mausoleum Rinno-ji Taiyuin" title="Niomon Gate at Mausoleum Rinno-ji Taiyuin" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The statue from the right is called Agyo, it is a symbol of overt violence, wielding a &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajra" target="_blank"&gt;vajra-pa&amp;#7751;i&lt;/a&gt; and it is represented with the mouth open, representing the beginning of the universe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/rinno-ji-temple" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/nikko/nikko-rinoji-taiyuin-niomon-gate-04.jpg" alt="Nio (Deva King) from Niomon Gate at Mausoleum Rinno-ji" title="Nio (Deva King) from Niomon Gate at Mausoleum Rinno-ji" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The statue from left the is called Ungyo, it symbolizes the latent strength, it is represented bare-handed or wielding a sword and has its mouth closed, representing the end of the universe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The first Nio says &amp;#8220;A&amp;#8221; while the other says &amp;#8220;M", so together they are uttering the Buddhist mantra &amp;#8220;AUM".&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/rinno-ji-temple" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/nikko/nikko-rinoji-taiyuin-niomon-gate-05.jpg" alt="Nio (Deva King) from Niomon Gate at Mausoleum Rinno-ji" title="Nio (Deva King) from Niomon Gate at Mausoleum Rinno-ji" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="rom" name="rom" style="display: none"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;La intrarea &amp;#238;n majoritatea templelor budiste se afl&amp;#259; dou&amp;#259; statui reprezent&amp;#226;nd gardienii, &lt;em&gt;Nio&lt;/em&gt; (Benevolent Kings), cu rol de protec&amp;#355;ie contra spiritelor rele, ca &amp;#351;i &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/index.php/weblog/eng/did-you-knew-koma-inu" target="_blank"&gt;koma-inu&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#238;n altarele shinto. Se spune c&amp;#259; Nio l-au &amp;#238;nso&amp;#355;it &amp;#351;i protejat pe Buddha, &amp;#238;n timpul c&amp;#259;l&amp;#259;toriilor prin India.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/rinno-ji-temple" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/nikko/nikko-rinoji-taiyuin-niomon-gate-03.jpg" alt="Niomon Gate at Mausoleum Rinno-ji Taiyuin" title="Niomon Gate at Mausoleum Rinno-ji Taiyuin" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

<p>On the entrance of most of the Japanese Buddhist temples, you can see a pair of guardians, the <em>Nio</em> (Benevolent Kings), protectors against the evil spirits (similar to the <a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/index.php/weblog/eng/did-you-knew-koma-inu" target="_blank">koma-inu</a> from the shinto shrines). According to Japanese traditions, they followed and protected Buddha when he traveled throughout India.</p>

</div>
<div class="spatiu"></div>
<p>The statue from the right is called Agyo, it is a symbol of overt violence, wielding a <a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajra" target="_blank">vajra-pa&#7751;i</a> and it is represented with the mouth open, representing the beginning of the universe.</p>

</div>
<div class="spatiu"></div>
<p>The statue from left the is called Ungyo, it symbolizes the latent strength, it is represented bare-handed or wielding a sword and has its mouth closed, representing the end of the universe.</p>

<p>The first Nio says &#8220;A&#8221; while the other says &#8220;M", so together they are uttering the Buddhist mantra &#8220;AUM".</p>

			<title>The sumo wrestlers from Ryogoku</title>

						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the Ryogoku station (close to the &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/index.php/weblog/eng/the-100th-anniversary-of-kokugikan" target="_blank"&gt;Kokugikan&lt;/a&gt;), there&amp;#8217;s a statue of sumo wrestlers. With stylized faces and bodies, the statue looks like a 3D representation of an &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukiyo-e" target="_blank"&gt;ukiyo-e&lt;/a&gt; painting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The darker stain on the statues bottom makes me wonder if there&amp;#8217;s a connection with the Japanese belief that rubbing a part of a statue representing a deity brings luck (&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/daikoku.shtml" target="_blank"&gt;Daikoku&lt;/a&gt;) or healing (&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/yakushi.shtml" target="_blank"&gt;Yakushi&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;img src="http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/rsc/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="&amp;#58;&amp;#41;" class="middle" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div id="rom" name="rom" style="display: none"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#206;n fa&amp;#355;a sta&amp;#355;iei Ryogoku (aproape de &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/index.php/weblog/the-100th-anniversary-of-kokugikan" target="_blank"&gt;Kokugikan&lt;/a&gt;), se afl&amp;#259; o statuie reprezent&amp;#226;nd doi lupt&amp;#259;tori de sumo. Pare o transpunere 3D a unei picturi &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukiyo-e" target="_blank"&gt;ukiyo-e&lt;/a&gt;, cu fe&amp;#355;ele &amp;#351;i corpurile stilizate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pata &amp;#238;ntunecat&amp;#259; de pe fundul statuii m-a f&amp;#259;cut s&amp;#259; m&amp;#259; &amp;#238;ntreb dac&amp;#259; are cumva leg&amp;#259;tur&amp;#259; cu credin&amp;#355;a japonez&amp;#259; conform c&amp;#259;reia frecarea unei p&amp;#259;r&amp;#355;i a unei statui reprezent&amp;#226;nd o zeitate aduce noroc (&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/daikoku.shtml" target="_blank"&gt;Daikoku&lt;/a&gt;) sau vindecare (&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/yakushi.shtml" target="_blank"&gt;Yakushi&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;img src="http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/rsc/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="&amp;#58;&amp;#41;" class="middle" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

With stylized faces and bodies, the statue looks like a 3D representation of an <a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukiyo-e" target="_blank">ukiyo-e</a> painting.</p>

<p>The darker stain on the statues bottom makes me wonder if there&#8217;s a connection with the Japanese belief that rubbing a part of a statue representing a deity brings luck (<a class="linkaj" href="http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/daikoku.shtml" target="_blank">Daikoku</a>) or healing (<a class="linkaj" href="http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/yakushi.shtml" target="_blank">Yakushi</a>). <img src="http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/rsc/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="&#58;&#41;" class="middle" /></p>

						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At Toshougu Shrine in Nikko, there are two elephants sculpted on one of the sacred warehouse (Kamijinko). One elephant is white and the other is black.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/toshougu-shrine-nikko" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/nikko/toshogu-shrine-nikko-23.jpg" alt="Kamijinko (Upper Sacred Warehouse) at Tohougu Shrine" title="Kamijinko (Upper Sacred Warehouse) at Tohougu Shrine" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Tokyo&amp;#8217;s Kokugikan sumo arena. On June 2nd, 1909, the first Kokugikan arena was opened in Tokyo, on the grounds of the current &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekoin" target="_blank"&gt;Eko-in&lt;/a&gt; temple, where sumo events had been held during the Edo period.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The name Kokugikan was given by the novelist Emi Suiin, who described sumo as Japan&amp;#8217;s &lt;em&gt;kokugi&lt;/em&gt; - national sport.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The arena held its final sumo tournament in 1946, being replaced by a new Kokugikan, located in the Kuramae district. Finally, the old building was demolished in 1983. &lt;br /&gt;
The current Ryogoku Kokugikan arena was opened in 1985.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An exhibition regarding the 100-year history of Kokugikan can be visited now at the Sumo Museum, located at the Ryogoku Kokugikan (see the map, down the page).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(from &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/20090606/BREAKING/90606045/" target="_blank"&gt;The Honolulu Advertiser&lt;/a&gt;, via &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://twitter.com/EventTokyo" target="_blank"&gt;@EventTokyo&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block">
<p>This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Tokyo&#8217;s Kokugikan sumo arena. On June 2nd, 1909, the first Kokugikan arena was opened in Tokyo, on the grounds of the current <a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekoin" target="_blank">Eko-in</a> temple, where sumo events had been held during the Edo period.</p>

<p>The name Kokugikan was given by the novelist Emi Suiin, who described sumo as Japan&#8217;s <em>kokugi</em> - national sport.</p>

<p>The arena held its final sumo tournament in 1946, being replaced by a new Kokugikan, located in the Kuramae district. Finally, the old building was demolished in 1983. <br />
The current Ryogoku Kokugikan arena was opened in 1985.</p>

<p>An exhibition regarding the 100-year history of Kokugikan can be visited now at the Sumo Museum, located at the Ryogoku Kokugikan (see the map, down the page).</p>

						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The article from yesterday, about the &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/index.php/weblog/eng/casual-sightseeing-tokyo-inari-shrine" target="_blank"&gt;little Inari Shrine from Akihabara&lt;/a&gt;, was very well received (and had a big spike in traffic) and I was asked if I know more of those small shrines hidden in the urban jungle.&lt;br /&gt;
My favorite discovery was in Nihonbashi, also an Inari Shrine, hidden between huge modern buildings:&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The article from yesterday, about the <a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/b2/blogs/index.php/weblog/eng/casual-sightseeing-tokyo-inari-shrine" target="_blank">little Inari Shrine from Akihabara</a>, was very well received (and had a big spike in traffic) and I was asked if I know more of those small shrines hidden in the urban jungle.<br />
My favorite discovery was in Nihonbashi, also an Inari Shrine, hidden between huge modern buildings:</p>

						<description>&lt;div id="eng" name="eng" style="display: block"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Deviating from the usual tourist routes in Akihabara, I discovered this small &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inari_(mythology)" target="_blank"&gt;Inari&lt;/a&gt; Shrine, a jewel hidden among the high buildings, somewhere behind the Ishimaru store.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="imgcenter"&gt;&lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/index.php?/category/akihabara" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="centerborder" src="http://www.muza-chan.net/photo/galleries/akihabara/inari-shrine-akihabara.jpg" alt="Inari Shrine in Akihabara" title="Inari Shrine in Akihabara" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="spatiu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you have the opportunity and you wish to visit, here is the &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;amp;source=s_q&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;geocode=&amp;amp;q=akihabara&amp;amp;sll=37.509726,-95.712891&amp;amp;sspn=37.352376,79.101563&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;update=1&amp;amp;filter=0&amp;amp;start=10&amp;amp;layer=c&amp;amp;cbll=35.699237,139.769633&amp;amp;panoid=XDg60U4N_UOJNvCH_Nn0jA&amp;amp;cbp=11,164.97,,0,8.47&amp;amp;ll=35.699237,139.769633&amp;amp;spn=0.008469,0.038624&amp;amp;z=15" target="_blank"&gt;Google Maps location&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="rom" name="rom" style="display: none"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Deviind de la traseele turistice din Akihabara, am descoperit acest mic altar &amp;#238;nchinat lui &lt;a class="linkaj" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inari_(mythology)" target="_blank"&gt;Inari&lt;/a&gt;, pe una din str&amp;#259;zile din spatele lui Ishimaru, &amp;#238;nconjurat de blocuri &amp;#238;nalte.&lt;/p&gt;
