SPIRIT's Diary

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.

Seventh, I decided to introduce Inumura Daikaku.     ・ Inumura Daikaku's character He has an orb engraved with the word " 礼 (Rei/Countesy). He has a peony-shaped birthmark on his buttocks→his left chest (left chest in the TBS drama version, buttocks in the OVA version).     He was born as the son of Akaiwa Ikkaku, a man of great martial arts. But his father was killed and eaten by a monster cat. And he grew up being abused by the monster cat that had transformed into the fake Ikkaku. He was taken in by his uncle, took Inumura, last name, and married his uncle's daughter, Hinaginu. but after she accidentally swallowed an 礼 's orb and her stomach swelled, he was accused of adultery He initially admitted to the adultery and divorced her. But then met Inukai Genpachi who receive willing of Ikkaku's ghost and although Hinaginu was sacrificed, he defeated the monster cat and joined the group of Hakkenshi.     A scholarly type. Wh...

Yesterday was initially cloudy, but became increasingly sunny. So, as scheduled, I went to Funaoka Castle Park for cherry blossoms viewing. It's about 40 minutes from JR Sendai Station to JR Funaoka Station. In the train, many foreigners such as French was riding, but in Funaoka Castle Park, foreigners were rare. I think why foreigners don't come to Funaoka Castle Park despite beautiful cherry blossoms in that place. I walked the tough hills to Sannomaru Park of Funaoka Castle Park. But I arrived it, there were many cherry blossoms and imitation booths. Despite stopping drinking liquor, I bought Kasumi, the Japanese sake, and drunk it. I should have watched cherry blossoms carefully, and record it in this blog successfully. So I shouldn't have drunk sake. And, I bought Gyutan from an imitation booth and ate. The Feeling of biting was very crispy, and salt and pepper was good. There is a cable car to go to the top, but yesterday was out of service. I wanted to go to the top ...
