The husks are used in the process, making the color darker and the aroma stronger compared to other types of soba found in Japan. Some of the ways you can enjoy it include the "warigo" style which involves three round bowls stacked on each other where you add your toppings individually to each bowl and the "kama-age" style where noodles come served in the water that the noodles were boiled in.

  • The Myth of the Goddess of the Undersea World and the Tale of Empress Jingu’S Subjugation of Silla
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 1993 20/2-3 The Myth of the Goddess of the Undersea World and the Tale of Empress Jingu’s Subjugation of Silla Akima Toshio In prewar Japan, the mythical tale of Empress Jingii’s 神功皇后 conquest of the Korean kingdoms comprised an important part of elementary school history education, and was utilized to justify Japan5s coloniza­ tion of Korea. After the war the same story came to be interpreted by some Japanese historians—most prominently Egami Namio— as proof or the exact opposite, namely, as evidence of a conquest of Japan by a people of nomadic origin who came from Korea. This theory, known as the horse-rider theory, has found more than a few enthusiastic sup­ porters amone Korean historians and the Japanese reading public, as well as some Western scholars. There are also several Japanese spe­ cialists in Japanese history and Japan-Korea relations who have been influenced by the theory, although most have not accepted the idea (Egami himself started as a specialist in the history of northeast Asia).1 * The first draft of this essay was written during my fellowship with the International Research Center for Japanese Studies, and was read in a seminar organized by the institu­ tion on 31 January 199丄. 1 am indebted to all researchers at the center who participated in the seminar for their many valuable suggestions. I would also like to express my gratitude to Umehara Takeshi, the director general of the center, and Nakanism Susumu, also of the center, who made my research there possible.

  • Daisen-Oki National Park Boasts Diverse Sceneries, Comprising a Mountainous Area Stretching from Mt
    Mountains where the gods reside, and a series of volcanoes and islands that breathe with ancient memories Daisen-Oki National Park boasts diverse sceneries, comprising a mountainous area stretching from Mt. Daisen, the highest Daisen-Oki peak of the Chugoku region, to Mt. Hiruzen and Mt. Kenashi, the Mt. Mitoku area, the coastal portion of the Shimane 15 Peninsula, the Mt. Sanbe area and the Oki Islands. This Park and its surrounding areas include places of mountain worship National Park and stages of a number of Japanese myths such as the Kunibiki Shinwa (“land-pulling myth”), and retain culture and livelihood deeply connected to nature. In the Park’s mountainous region, volcanic topography, forests and grasslands are part of a varied landscape where each area possesses distinct scenery. Amidst this majesty, Mt. Daisen is revered as Japan’s oldest kami-yama —mountain of gods—while Mt. Mitoku is said to be sacred ground for mountain asceticism. On the Shimane Peninsula along with Izumo Grand Shrine, one of the most important shrines in Japan, you will find scenic and historic locations associated with myths in every direction. At Miho Shrine, situated on the eastern tip of the Shimane Peninsula, Shinto rituals associated with two ancient accounts of Japanese history, the Kojiki and the Nihon- Shoki, are passed down as regional events, while the main hall of Izumo Grand Shrine, constructed in the oldest style of Shinto shrine architecture, is a designated National Treasure. The Oki Islands are celebrated for their spectacular islands and coastal scenery. In acknowledgement of the geohistory that dynamic forces created them, their isolated and unique ecosystem, and the lifestyle and traditions that this environment nurtured, the Islands have been designated as a UNESCO Global Geopark.

Nakanoshima is occupied by Ama-chō (海士町, Ama Town), and we will refer to it as such. This small island community is a world away from the bustling streets of Japan’s biggest cities. What makes Ama-chō stand out is that the people of this rural Japanese community have chosen to make it a model of self-sufficiency. By having the courage to conduct honest assessments of their declining economic and social situation, hard decisions were made and Ama-chō was able to achieve its goals. APIC believes Ama-chō can serve as a development model for many communities in the Caribbean and Pacific. In October 2019, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Ama-chō and APIC. In the MoU, APIC commits to present the “Ama-chō Model” as a viable example of Japanese best practices for sustainable planning and community leadership to appropriate groups and individuals from the Caribbean and Pacific. Since the MoU was established, Ama- chō has welcomed over 10 of APIC’s invitees from the Pacific Island region to tour Ama-chō.
