  • Japan: Castles, Armor & the Art of the Samurai
    MUSEUM TRAVEL ALLIANCE Japan: Castles, Armor & the Art of the Samurai May 30–June 9, 2019 MUSEUM TRAVEL ALLIANCE Dear Travelers and Friends, Japan has one of the oldest, richest, and most complex aesthetic traditions in the world– a tradition that is inextricably connected to the legacy of the samurai. Join the Museum Travel Alliance for a journey that explores the history, spiritual practices, and warrior arts of Japan. As we travel together, we will visit castles, museums, and temples that tell a fascinating story of Japanese military, political, and artistic history. We begin in Tokyo, where we discover the still-vital world of traditional swordsmithing with a visit to the studio of a master sword polisher. We also get an inside look at two authentic Japanese martial arts, sumo and kendo, as we tour training centers to observe practice drills and discuss these rich traditions with senseis and practitioners. Explorations of nearby temples will reveal connections between spiritual practice and martial and aesthetic traditions, and visits to museums will provide numerous opportunities to experience the spectacular creations of Japanese artists throughout the centuries. In Kyoto, we visit ancient Zen temples and Shinto shrines, set off by the natural beauty of mountains, foothills, and forests. This journey from Tokyo to KyotoRUSSIA will reveal some of the most astounding works of art, architecture, and arms and armor on Earth. Throughout this trip, led by a curator who is an authority in arms and armor, you will meet talented craftspeople and experts in the arts. And you will enjoy traveling in the congenial company of members from a number of museums and cultural institutions.

  • JAPAN's MOST UNFORGETTABLE SHRINES Relaxing Is One Thing
    JAPAN’S MOST UNFORGETTABLE SHRINES Relaxing is one thing, but to feel at peace, you need to step away from the neon signs and busy streets and explore the spiritual side of Japan. Shrines are an integral part of Japanese cultural tapestry. You will find these places of worship hidden in forest sandwiched between office towers on busy streets or clinging into mountain tops visiting them can be a spiritual experience, a chance to gain insights into Japanese tradition and history, or simply enjoy serene escape from the busy city life. Shrines are considered to be the residences of Kami (Shinto gods) and are used as places of worship. The names of Shinto shrines in Japan can end in –jinja, jingu (for Imperial shrines), or taisha. Shrines are built to serve the Shinto religious tradition and are characterized by a Torii gate at the entrance decorated with vermillion, and are guarded by fox, dog, or other animal statues. The architecture of a shrine typically includes a main sanctuary (honden), where the shrine’s sacred object is kept, and a worship hall (haiden), where people make prayers and offerings. Some shrines may have treasury buildings and stages for dance or theatre performances. There are close to 80,000 Shinto shrines in Japan and are of several different categories like: • Sengen shrines- dedicated to the Shinto deity of Mt. Fuji • Hachiman shrines- dedicated to the Kami of war • Inari shrines- dedicated to the Kami of huge harvest of grains • Kumano shrines - dedicated to the twelve Kami, three Grand Shrines in the three Kumano mountains • Tenjin shrines- dedicated to the Kami of Sugawara No Michizane, a politician and scholar FUSHIMI INARI SHRINE Fushimi Inari Shrine (伏見稲荷大社, Fushimi Inari Taisha) is an important Shinto shrine in southern Kyoto.

  • ILD Experimental Hall Design
    ILD Integration - Internal and External A Review Karsten Buesser 24.09.2013 ILD Workshop Cracow Introduction • An integrated detector model for ILD has been developed for the DBD/TDR • No site-specific issues have been taken into account • Now we have a site in northern Japan • At the same time ILD is undergoing the next round of optimisation • improvements, cost efficiency, sharpening of physics case • Subdetector collaborations get more experience with realistic full-system and full- scale prototypes • More realistic designs of mechanics, cabling, cooling • Time to review the current design w.r.t. realistic boundary conditions • Internal integration: the ILD engineering model • External integration: integration with the machine and SiD ILD in its Natural Environment... ILD Mechanical Design R. Stromhagen Update on model later today Yoke NB: Endcap Design for ILD@CLIC is different R. Stromhagen Calorimeter Integration Analogue HCAL K. Gadow K. Gadow Semi-Digital HCAL J.C. Ianigro • 5 Rings: • Structure mass: 440 t • Detector mass: 184 t • Total mass 624 t ECAL Installation Si/W ECAL Ecal integration steps ( Assembly hall) : A full ( mechanical ) stave structure is mounted on a frame ( yellow) making a beam The beam is then placed on its transport and storage cradle( orange) Adaptation of this tooling to the ILD considerations and to the moutain site constraints C. Clerc The stave is then ready to be equipped with slabs , cabled and tested C. Clerc ILD MDI session, Kyushu University 21 May 2012 To be done 8 times ILD MDI session, Kyushu University 21 May 2012 TPC Integration V. Prahl FEA studies Inner Region • Integration procedure : Using the same TPC insertion tool, adapt on it an apparatus to support and insert the inner parts.
