SPIRIT's Diary

Under very hot place, for 20 minutes by taxi, I went to former Takita Castle. In this place, fighting starvation, Satomi clans was fighting the enemy. Yatsufusa, Satomi's magical dog, bat and killed enemy's commander and helped Satomi clan. But as the reward, Satomi clan had to give Princess Fuse to Yatsufusa as marridge. However, now, in this place, I couldn't look this story at all. There is a natural observatory place, but I couldn't go to it. The taxi driver also hasn't recognized. From there, for 10 minutes by taxi, there is Yatsufusa's statue. It's heroically. There is also Satomi clan's graves nearby it. I'm impressed, because Satomi Yoshizane, the lord of Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors, has being slept. Returning Tateyama, to dodge to become heat stroke, I stayed and took a nap in the hotel for 30 minutes. After it, by a taxi, for 10 minutes, I went to Tateyama Castle. Tateyama Castle was diligent and beautiful. In it, it introduced Hakkend...

This day was sunny and too hot despite forecasting cloudy and a bit rainy. For 10 minutes by a taxi from JR Iwai Station, I went to Fusehime Rouketsu （日本語：伏姫籠穴） /Fusehime Caves. Tateyama is rural, so it's inconvenient for me because I have to use a taxi to go to Satomi-related places.     Fusehime Rouketsu is the place that Fusehime, the spiritual mother of Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors, was staying with Yatsufusa, the big and mystery dog. When she was staying there, she became pregnant with Yatsufusa's children. In this point, someone said Hakkenden may be similar to Macbeth. Eventually, these children was Jingi-Hachigyo's （日本語：仁義八行） orbs. These orbs reached Hakkenshi soon. This Hakkenshi, eight justice samurai, destroyed evils   and revitalized Satomi Clan, Fusehime's family.     Fusehime Rouketsu is surrounded by deep forests, and silent and cooler than in JR Iwai Station. The Green color of Forests' leaves was mysterious. Wh...

The main of this comic is LeoPon-san Team. Tsuchiya is only member of 2th Grade, so tentatively sulking because other members will graduate soon. In Girls Und Panzer das Finale, how will the graduation ceremony be drawn?     At any rate, the lines of this comic was a bit too much. we're likely to read difficulty.     By the way, I made Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) draw illustrations again. In this case, ”Ankou-team cosplaing The Elusive Samuirai ".     Nishizumi Miho as Hojo Tokiyuki     Isuzu Hana as Ayako     Akiyama Yukari as Suwa Yorishige     Reizei Mako as Shizuku     Actually, I wanted to add Takebe Saori as Kojiro. But they're very cool!

In the first day of travel to Kyokutei Bakin and Hakkenden-related place, I walked around in Tokyo capital. Kyokutei Bakin lived in Fukagawa, the central of Edo. But his grave is in Zojo Temple, 5 minutes walking from Tokyo Metro Myougatani Sta. Bakin's son and wife passed away before Bakin died. Bakin's sorrow was incredible. In this point, some said Bakin is similar to Mark Twain. In Zojo Temple, it was too hot but silent. But Bakin's grave can't be sufficiently maintained. The flower was corrupted. Zojo Temple may be the symbol of Bakin, so it's NG. I was likely to hot stroke; I immediately returned and bought 500ml water. Should I have poured Bakin's grave the water? For 3 minutes walking from JR Shinanomachi Sta, there is Bakin's death place. But now, it has no trace left. Bakin passed away when he wrote "Kinseisetsu Bishounen Roku（近世説美少年録）" It's said that Kinseisetsu Bishounen Roku wasn't a moralistic novel, near to modern novels. Tsu...

It's long time no see! Yesterday, I returned from Tateyama, Satomi Hakkenden-related place. The day was hot to be likely to hot stroke. But Tateyama was rural. To go to both Tateyama Castle and Fusehime Rouketsu/Fusehime Caves, I had to use a taxi. Objects in Fusehime Rouketsu was also very interiorized. It's said nobody can maintain objects on account of lack of finance, isn't it? I want to make Tateyama to be fulfilled with foreigners who love Hakkenden. Otherwise, it's no meaning for me to go to Tateyama, even being chased by a hornet. In Tateyama, there is an escaping game of Hakkenden. But it's not still famous in entire Japan. Tateyama local government should feature Hakkenden to foreigners more, by using English. I'll introduce Hakkenden and Kyokutei Bakin-related place another time with photos.

Some time ago, I said I don’t like “The Seven Secretary” , because the structure that “The top citizens are evil” and “The bottom citizens are good” is too obvious. In Hakkenden, there are good lords such as Satomi clans and also evil persons in low social position. Among them, Aboshi Samojiro has been very popular since Edo period despite a poverty ronin and a small villain.     ・ Aboshi Samojiro’s Character     He's a beautiful man specializing in singing and dancing. He's an urbanized playboy, rare in Hakkenden. But he's somehow clumsy. He was an entourage of Ougigayatsu clan, Kanto Kanrei, but was expelled from it and became a poverty ronin and lived nearby Inuzuka Shino, a first hero in Hakkenden. He was illicitly and one-directly loving to Hamaji, the fiancé of Shino. To marry with Hamaji, he flattered to the greedy shouya(the village leader), the enemy of Shino, and stole Murasame Sword, Shino's Treasure. However, he was immediatel...

Hakkenden is the story, that Hakkenshi, eight justice samurai, destroy evils and revitalize Satomi Clan. But some people says that villains in Hakkenden are more fascinated than heroes in Hakkenden. In this point, it's similar to Disney Villains. Many people prefer Disney Villains to Disney Hero and Princess. In common points, of villains in Hakkenden and Disney Villains, ・Commonly, they're loyal to their own greed. ・Some has "fascination of darkness" because they're thoroughly evil.(Funamushi in Hakkenden, Scar in Lion King and so on) ・The other has "cute fascination" because they're somehow stupid and can't be hated thoroughly.(Aboshi Samoziro in Hakkenden, Captain Hook in Peter Pan and so on) By the way, Aboshi Samoziro in anime "The Hakkenden" rather has fascination of darkness. I think Mother Gothel in Tangled has "cute fascination" rather than "fascination of darkness". People can't live thinking only good ...

From May 3rd to 5th, in Tagajo Cultural Center, there was one exhibition, "Nyatten/Meow Exhibition". I went to Nyatten with my mother on May 5th. Various goods related cats were sold. But I was the most shocked to the information that over 2000 abandoned cats are disposed with dioxide carbon gas every year, not mercy killing. In the case of Japan, the raw restriction keeping pets is loose. Ms. Sugimoto Aya, the leader of Eva( https://www.youtube.com/@Eva-bo9pd ), PIIF of protecting animals pointed out it strictly in her presentation. In Japan, many malicious animals breeding facility and pet cafes, but their punishment is loose now. Eva is activating signature campaign to make punishment stricter. But I think there are many harassments to Eva, particularly from malicious animal breeding facility dominated yakuzas directly. About myself, when I was an elementary school student, I kept two bengalese finch. But eventually, I didn't care for them little, so I made them die. S...

Walking from Nagamachi-Minami Station in Sendai Namboku Line for 20 minutes, there is one lunch buffet restaurant, named Nanaya. On Apr.29, I went to Nanaya with my father's introducing. But it was inconvenient because we have to pay with only cash.     We could eat macaroni salad, sweet potatoes, curry spaghetti and so on. Macaroni salad and curry spaghetti were exquisite with adding spice, and sweet potato was very sweet and delicious. But macaroni was a bit stiff.     And my main dish was nanban chicken (the fried chicken with vinegar and tartar sauce). The vinegar was a little sour, but biting feeling of nanban chicken was moderately soft. I enjoyed both sourness of vinegar and biting feelings of nanban chicken.     Unfortunately, this place is inaccessible because we have to walk from Nagamachi-Minami Station for about 20 minutes. Are there any bus stops nearby?

Walking from JR Sendai Station for 5 minutes, there is one artificial hot spring, named Topos. This hot spring is for only males and people with tattoo can't enter it. Yesterday, when returning from Tohoku Historical Museum, I went to Topos. The open-air bath in this place is radium hot springs. It makes our own body and recover from tiredness. Outside, moderate wind blew, and I took this bath and became relaxed. In this place, body scrubs put in the bathroom, so I don't need my own body scrub. So, it's useful. There is one sauna with 70℃. It's too hot, and I escaped from it promptly. After taking hot springs, I stayed in the lobby and watched Rakuten Eagles' game. Snacks were very delicious. There are own indoor clothes in this place. This cloth made me relaxed. I stayed for 1.5 hours. The value was reasonable 800 yens, using the discount.

Edo Tokyo Museum in Ryogoku is renovating for long time now. So, exhibits in Edo Tokyo Museum can be seen in Tohoku Historical Museum. Yesterday, I went to Tohoku Historical Museum to see it.(https://www.thm.pref.miyagi.jp/exhibition/10988/) Impression of exhibits was moderate. Inconvenient points to foreigners were, ・From JR Sendai Station, they have to go to JR Kokufu Tagajo Station about 30 minutes. ・The exhibits were almost introduced with only Japanese. ・We can't re-enter it. But I was impressed to Japanese Edo culture, such as Meireki Grand Flame, Kanjin Sumo and so on. It was said, "Kaji(Flame) and kenka(quarreling) is Edo''s banner." Actually, kenka in Edo periods was almost only bicker. It was said, that people in Edo period pointed out opposite's weak point each other very fluently in bicker. The origin of Honjo Ekoin in Ryogoku is that unrelated buddha were buried in Meireki Grand Flame, But Ekoin had become the venue of Kanjin Sumo and the grave of...

I went to ophthalmology, incidentally, I went to my favorite ramen shop, named "Ramen Billy". This ramen shop is diagonally from Don Qui Houte Sendaieki Nishiguchi Honten. I could eat it since long time. This principal point of this ramen is fatty meat of char siu. Fatty meat was very soft and like melting. Moreover, the noodle of Billy Ramen is very stiff. I could experience the impressive accent. I want this shop to make more foreigners come. Because this ramen is very delicious.

My father recommended me to introduce Zuihoden Shrine (The Grave of Date Masamune) in Sendai more than Hakkenden. I'm a bit troubled. I've thought, that Zuihoden has been already famous in the world and many foreigners have come to it. But my father said that a few foreigners was coming to Zuihoden when he visited the place nearby. When I confirmed the homepage of Zuihoden, there is English sites. But why didn't many foreigners come to it? Because we can use the bus to come it, Zuihoden is accessible. Zuihoden is decorated with gorgeous golds, but doesn't it fascinate many foreigners? Anyway, I have to also study about Zuihoden again.

Final, I decided to introduce Inue Shinbei. ・Inue Shinbei's character The protagonist in the last half of "Hakkenden." He has an orb engraved with the character "Jin（仁）/benevolent." He has a peony-shaped birthmark on his left side (on the back of his left hand in the TBS drama version). His childhood name was "Daihachi." He was born to Inuta Kobungo's younger sister Nui and Sanbayashi Fusahachi. He was born with the orb of Jin（仁）/benevolent clutched in his left fist, which didn't open until he was four years old. After a fight between Kobungo and Fusahachi, Fusahachi and Nui die. So, he was left in Kobungo's care, but was later spirited away. Later, at the age of nine, he appeared among the Satomi clan and other Dog Warriors, and put down two enemy rebellions. In the final battle, he uses an medicine to resurrect the dead, which only works on good people, and brings back to life most of the fallen, regardless of whether they were friend or ...

When returning from the psychiatry, I went to Funaoka Castle Park again to watch the cherry blossoms. But almost petal of cherry blossoms has scattered. "Hana Ni Arashi（花に嵐）", which means "when flowers blossom, there are many storms, so flowers scatter easily." is true. Relying on my anger without clear purpose, I drunk liquor and ate potatoes. I've become angered and ate potato roughly, understand that the season will change. I failed my quota about alcohol in this day. Even if without it, the quotas about work and drinking alcohol is sometimes accomplished and not accomplished. I can accomplish the quota of studying English easily, but I can't  accomplish the quota about wasting money to drink and eat every day. It took 3 days after I decided various quotas. But I may have to re-think about my present quotas.
