19:00 Osaka, Japan Ihre Tour Beginnt Am Pier, Wo Sie Der Reisebus Informationen zu den deutschsprachigen Landausflügen Lieber Reisegast, hiermit möchten wir Sie darüber informieren, dass Princess Cruises USA deutschsprachige Landausflüge auf der Golden Princess vom 27.04.2018 – 12.05.2018 anbietet. In folgenden Häfen steht Ihnen dieser exklusive Service zur Verfügung 29.04.2018 09:30 – 19:00 Osaka, Japan “Das Beste Kyotos” Was Sie sehen: Goldener Pavillon, Schloss Nijo Ihre Tour beginnt am Pier, wo Sie der Reisebus bereits erwartet, der Sie auf einer ca. 90-minütigen Fahrt aus der Stadt nach Kyoto bringt. Ursprünglich Sitz des japanischen Kaiserhofs von 794 bis 1868, gilt Kyoto heute als kulturelle Hauptstadt Japans. Auf der Fahrt durch die Stadt entdecken Sie bemerkenswerte Sehenswürdigkeiten, wie den Toji- Tempel, der mit seinen 180 Metern die höchste Pagode Japans ist. Ihr erster Stopp ist das Schloss Nijo, welches im Jahr 1626 als Residenz für Tokugawa Ieyasu fertiggestellt wurde, und heute zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe zählt. Zwar wurde ein Teil durch ein Feuer zerstört, allerdings blieb der zweite innere Palast, der Ninomaru erhalten. Der Ninomaru wurde dazu errichtet, um Besucher mit der Macht und dem Reichtum des Shoguns zu beeindrucken. Die extravaganten Innenräume, die fast ausschließlich aus Zypressenholz gefertigt wurden, sind mit Blattgold und kunstvollen Holzschnitzereien verziert. Zum Schutz des Shoguns wurden die sogenannten „Nachtigallen“ errichtet; betritt ein Eindringling die Korridore, quietschen die Böden wie Vögel. Zudem verfügen einige der Zimmer auch über spezielle Türen, in denen sich Sicherheitspersonal verstecken konnte. In der „Ohiroma“-Halle finden Sie faszinierende Schnitzereien und Wandbilder, welche der Shogun nutzte, um Krieger und Besucher zu empfangen. Ihr nächstes Ziel befindet sich am Kinkaku-Ji-Tempel: Der Goldene Pavillon. Der Pavillon gehört zu den berühmtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten Japans und zählt zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe. Im Jahr 1397 als Unterkunft für den Shogun erbaut, wurde er nach seinem Tod als Zen-Tempel genutzt, der sich inmitten eines herrlichen japanischen Gartens befindet. Das wohl beeindruckendste an diesem hölzernen Pavillion sind die zwei oberen Stockwerke, die komplett mit Blattgold verziert sind. Anschließend genießen Sie ein westliches Mittagessen in einem lokalen Hotel. Nach dem Mittagessen besuchen Sie den Heian-Schrein, der sich als größtes Torii-Tor Japans rühmt. Das Torii-Tor, welches als Schrein des Friedens bekannt ist, wurde 1895 anlässlich des 1100. Jahrestags der Gründung Kyotos errichtet. Weiter geht es zum Kyoto-Kunstmarkt, auf dem Sie traditionelles Kunsthandwerk und Souvenirs besorgen können. Ihre Tour endet mit einer Fahrt zum Schiff entlang der malerischen Landschaft. WICHTIGE HINWEISE Der Ausflugsverlauf kann abweichen, um Überfüllung zu vermeiden. Die Fahrtzeit von Osaka bis Kyoto beträgt in etwa 1 ½ Stunden, Gäste sollten mit Stau und eventuellen Verspätungen rechnen. Fotos und Videos sind im Schloss Nijo und im Heian-Schrein verboten. Im Schloss Nijo müssen die Schuhe ausgezogen werden. Das Schloss Nijo wird teilweise restauriert, weshalb manche Teile des Gebäudes verkleidet sind. Zum Kinkakuji-Tempel müssen 30 Stufen erklommen werden. Für diesen Ausflug sind mindestens 40 Teilnehmer erforderlich.

Fuji, Shizuoka Sengen Schrein Umgeben von einer wunderschönen Landschaft und der beeindruckenden Aussicht auf den Berg Fuji, ist die Shizuoka Präfektur eine moderne Stadt mit einer faszinierenden und historischen Vergangenheit. Mit dem Reisebus fahren Sie als erstes zum Sunpu Castle Park. Shogun Tokugawa leyasu erbaute die Burg in 1585 und lebte dort auch teilweise. Die Überreste der Burg deuten auf die frühere Größe hin. Die Burg aus der Edo-Zeit war von Wassergräben und Steinmauern umgeben, deren Größe noch an den Ruinen zu erkennen ist. Das Tor und der Turm der Burg wurden restauriert. Sie sehen die bronzene Statue von Leyasu, mit einem Falken auf seinem Arm, in der Nähe eines Mandarinen Baums, der vermutlich von ihm selbst gepflanzt wurde. Der Park verfügt über vier verschieden Gärten und ein tradionelles Teehaus, in dem Besucher gegen eine zusätzliche Gebühr eine traditionelle Teezeremonie erleben können. Von dort geht es weiter zum Shizuoka Sengen Schrein, ein Gebilde aus sieben Schreinen, deren drei wichtigsten im Laufe von 60 Jahren umgestaltet wurden. Sengen Schrein enthält 26 „wichtige Kulturgüter“ und eine umfangreiche Sammlung historischer Artefakte des Tokugawa-Shogunat, das Japan während der Edo-Zeit 300 Jahre regierte. Der Sengen Schrein ist auch bekannt für seine dramatische Architektur und Verwendung von Blattgold, Lack und Holzschnitzereien. Ihr letzter Stop ist Miho-no-Matsubara, eine malerische Pinienwald entlang der Ostküste der Miho Halblinsel, der die Auszeichnung „Neue drei Ansichten Japans“ auf Grund der Landschaftlichen Schönheit verleiht wurde. Dieser inspirierende Ort bietet atemberaubende Blicke auf den Berg Fuji. Wenn Sie weiter in den Pinienwald hinein gehen, entdecken Sie eine 650 Jahre alte Schwarzkiefer namens Hagoromo-no-Matsu, der mythische Ursprünge nachgesagt werden. Neben dem legendären Baum befindet sich ein Denkmal einer französischen Ballerina, die einen Tanz komponierte der von einer Legende des Baums inspiriert wurde. Nachdiesem wunderschönen Tag geht es anschließend zurück zu Ihrem Schiff. WICHTIGE HINWEISE Das Museum am Shizuoka Shrine ist nicht inklusive. Der Boden rund um Miho-no-Matsubara ist aus Sand.

Fuji Weltnaturerbe Zentrum” Was Sie sehen: Mt. Fuji & Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine Der Berg Fuji ist der höchste Berg Japans, knapp 4000 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel. Dieser heilige Berg ist das Zentrum des Fuji-Hakone-Izu Nationalparks und ein aktiver Vulkan mit einer perfekt symmetrischen Spitze. Der Berg Fuji ist das Nationalsymbol der Japaner und wurde über Jahrhunderte verehrt und von Künstlern verewigt. 2013 wurde der Berg als „heiliger Platz und Quelle artistischer Inspirationen“ auf die Liste des UNESCO Weltnaturerbes gesetzt. Der Berg Fuji ist in Stationen unterteilt wonach Station 1 am Fuße des Berges liegt und Station 10 die Spitze markiert. Eine Japanische Weisheit sagt „Ein weiser Mann erklimmt Berg Fuji nur einmal, ein Narr aber zweimal“. Athleten schaffen die Wanderung bis nach oben in weniger als 2 Stunden, aber für die meisten Wanderer ist es eine 6- 12 stündige Tour mit Übernachtung. Eine 1 ½ stündige Busfahrt bringt Sie zu Station 2 zu einer Höhe von 1432 Metern. Von hier aus haben Sie einen tollen Blick auf dies beeindruckenden Berg. Anschließend geht es zum Fuji-Weltnaturerbe Zentrum. Dieses wurde erst im Dezember 2017 eröffnet und besteht aus 3 Gebäuden. Das Hauptgebäude hat die charakteristische Spitze einen umgedrehten Kegels umrahmt von Fuji- Zypressen. Von der obersten Etage genießen Sie eine herrliche Aussicht auf den Berg. Nach einem traditionellen Mittagessen, geht es weiter zum Fujisan-Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine, am südwestlichen Fuß des Berges. Ursprünglich wurde der Schrein zum Schutz vulkanischer Eruptionen erbaut und war zur damaligen Zeit der Größte Schrein Japans. Errichtet im frühen 16.Jahrhundert, wurde seine Struktur durch mehrere Erdbeben in Mitleidenschaft gezogen. Heute, besteht er aus dem Inneren und Äußeren Schrein sowie der Turmspitze. Das Gelände des Schreins sind sehr im imposant, besonders im März und April wenn die über 500 Kirschbäume blühen. Viele Wanderer halten hier um zu beten, bevor sie den Berg erklimmen.

Beim Verlassen der Stadt fahren Sie durch beeindruckende Landschaften zum Beomosa Tempel, einem der größten Tempel Südkoreas, der bis ins Jahr 678 n. Chr. zurück reicht. Sie überqueren eine gewölbte Steinbrücke und einen Bach, bevor Sie anschließend die drei hübschen Eingangstore des Tempels erreichen, auch bekannt als „Tor der himmlischen Könige“. Schließlich werden Sie über das Gelände spazieren, wo Sie die dreistöckige Pagode des Tempels aus dem 7. Jhd. bewundern können. Dieses Bauwerk wurde während der Silla-Zeit errichtet, etwa zwischen 826 und 836 n. Chr.

Some Observations on the Weddings of Tokugawa Shogun’s Daughters – Part 1 Abstract In this study I shall discuss the marriage politics of Japan's early ruling families (mainly from the 6th to the 12th centuries) and the adaptation of these practices to new circumstances by the leaders of the following centuries. Marriage politics culminated with the founder of the Edo bakufu, the first shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616). To show how practices continued to change, I shall discuss the weddings given by the fifth shogun sunaT yoshi (1646-1709) and the eighth shogun Yoshimune (1684-1751). The marriages of Tsunayoshi's natural and adopted daughters reveal his motivations for the adoptions and for his choice of the daughters’ husbands. The marriages of Yoshimune's adopted daughters show how his atypical philosophy of rulership resulted in a break with the earlier Tokugawa marriage politics.

    The History of Hamamatsu Castle （浜松城の変遷） Research and Supervision by Hiroshima University Professor Emeritus MIURA Masayuki Illustrations by ITAGAKI Makoto Estimated current location the Castle Town （城下町） Central Area of Hamamatsu Castle and the Castle Town Uunder TOKUGAWA Ieyasu （徳川家康在城期の浜松城中枢部と城下町） In 1570, TOKUGAWA Ieyasu moved his base from Okazaki Castle to Hikuma Castle and began construction to expand the castle, changing its name from Hikuma Castle to Hamamatsu Castle. Due to the expansion, the central area of Hamamatsu Castle was moved to its current location. It can be said that TOKUGAWA Ieyasu built Hamamatsu Castle from scratch due to the large-scale constructions he made, especially around the year 1578. Ieyasu used Hamamatsu Castle as a base until he moved to Sunpu Castle in 1586. Taking advantage of the terrain at the edge of the Mikatahara plateau, Hamamatsu Castle is thought to have stretched out eastwards and westwards. To the north, it stretched out towards the wetlands that were suitable for defense. The scope of Ieyasu’s expansion of Hamamatsu castle covered the castle tower bailey, main bailey, second bailey, Nishi-hajo bailey, Shimizu bailey, Sakuza bailey and the outer fort. Afterwards, Hamamatsu Castle that was built by Ieyasu went through renovations under the TOYOTOMI family retainer, HORIO Yoshiharu, who was the new castle lord. Large areas of the castle were buried underground but the size and positions of the baileys remained the same. During Ieyasu’s time, the stone walls or castle tower were not yet built. Instead, the bailey was enclosed by earthen walls and contained wooden houses with wooden shingle roofs.

  • Name and Fame Material Objects As Authority, Security, and Legacy
    4 Name and Fame Material Objects as Authority, Security, and Legacy Morgan Pitelka In 1603 the reigning emperor elevated Tokugawa Ieyasu to the office of shogun, confirming his decisive military victory over opponents in 1600 and his subse- quent, and far-reaching, assumption of governing prerogatives (from assigning landholdings to minting coins). Preceded by a fulsome courtship of imperial favor with gifts and ritual deference, the appointment led to both the amplified administrative initiatives and ceremonial performances that might secure a fragile peace. Ieyasu tacked back and forth between the imperial capital of Kyoto and his shogunal headquarters in Edo, working all political channels to build support for his regime. Backing mattered, particularly because the teenage heir of his for- mer lord—Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who first brought union to the warring states— remained with his mother at Osaka castle as a rallying point for doubters and the disaffected. A potential division in fealty compounded the dangers of a nascent rule. Ieyasu took the precaution, consequently, of resigning the office of shogun in 1605. Surprising for a hungry ruler still establishing his mandate, the decision was prudent for a would-be dynast. Succession tormented the houses of the warring states (1467–1603). Indeed, it was contests over the headship of three leading families that had provoked the opening hostilities of the Ōnin war in Kyoto and then tangled all provinces in violence. And, again and again, throughout the ordeals upending the Ashikaga shogunate and the very premises of medieval rule, problems over heirs shaped the course of conflict. Not least in Ieyasu’s immediate memory.

  • Report on 2018 Autumn Conference of the Japanese Archaeological Association
    Report on 2018 Autumn Conference of the Japanese Archaeological Association SEKINE Tatsuhito1 & HAGINOYA Satoru2 ABSTRACT This short essay reports the proceedings and some highlights of the 83rd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Archaeological Association 2018 Autumn Conference, held between October 20–22, 2018, at Shizuoka University. KEYWORDS: 2018 Conference, Japanese Archaeological Association Pursuant to the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Japanese Archaeological Association, the 2018 convention was held over a three-day period (20 (Saturday)–22 (Monday) October) at Shizuoka University, which overlooks Suruga Bay. This was the first time in 30 years that the event was held in Shizuoka. Immediately prior to the convention, it was widely reported that a stone wall built by Nakamura of the Toyotomi clan and many gold-leaf tiles had been discovered below the huge castle tower support at the Sunpu castle ruins, which date to the time of Tokugawa. This discovery caused quite a stir at the convention. The executive committee of the convention was organized around the Shizuoka Prefecture Archaeological Society, which was chaired by Shohachi Uematsu and held under the auspices of Shizuoka City with the support of Shizuoka University. Mr. Kazuo Shinohara of Shizuoka University served as Head of the Secretariat. The event attracted roughly 330 participants (i.e., approximately 250 members and 80 non-members, including researchers). The “History of Static Archaeology” exhibit was held at the campus museum during the event. Participants were thus allowed to briefly observe the history of archaeology research at Shizuoka University. The 70th annual plenary session was held under the theme “The Yayoi Age in East Asia” at 9 a.m.

  • Japan and Its East Asian Neighbors: Japan’S Perception of China and Korea and the Making of Foreign Policy from the Seventeenth to the Nineteenth Century
    JAPAN AND ITS EAST ASIAN NEIGHBORS: JAPAN’S PERCEPTION OF CHINA AND KOREA AND THE MAKING OF FOREIGN POLICY FROM THE SEVENTEENTH TO THE NINETEENTH CENTURY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Norihito Mizuno, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor James R. Bartholomew, Adviser Professor Philip C. Brown Adviser Professor Peter L. Hahn Graduate Program in History Copyright by Norihito Mizuno 2004 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a study of Japanese perceptions of its East Asian neighbors – China and Korea – and the making of foreign policy from the early seventeenth century to the late nineteenth century. Previous studies have overwhelmingly argued that after the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Japan started to modernize itself by learning from the West and changed its attitudes toward those neighboring countries. It supposedly abandoned its traditional friendship and reverence toward its neighbors and adopted aggressive and contemptuous attitudes. I have no intention of arguing here that the perspective of change and discontinuity in Japan’s attitudes toward its neighbors has no validity at all; Japan did adopt Western-style diplomacy toward its neighbors, paralleling the abandonment of traditional culture which had owed much to other East Asian civilizations since antiquity. In this dissertation, through examination primarily of official and private documents, I maintain that change and discontinuity cannot fully explain the Japanese policy toward its East Asian neighbors from the early seventeenth to the late nineteenth century. The Japanese perceptions and attitudes toward China and ii Korea had some aspects of continuity.

In 1591, Rikyū was forced to commit ritual suicide and was succeeded by Furuta Oribe, one of his students. Unlike Rikyū, Oribe was not a commoner but a feudal lord. Oribe would later become tea master to the second Tokugawa shogun Hidetada, and after he himself was forced to commit ritual suicide in 1615, he was succeeded as tea master of the realm by another feudal lord, Kobori Enshū. This paper will discuss the role Enshū played in the development of the tea ceremony, then known as chanoyu, during the Kan’ei period, and will focus on the development of the sukiya 数寄屋 or tea room.

The return to a stable and more centralized rule was made possible by the development and implementation of an emerging politico-religious trend, in which powerful leaders were posthumously apotheosized and worshiped as tutelary deities. Ieyasu, the first of the Tokugawa shoguns, was deified and venerated at the Tōshōgū Shrine in Nikkō, and the politico-religious movement that was propagated by Ieyasu’s descendants became a central tool for the government’s legitimacy.
