07) 740m Eucalypt (Eucalyptus melliodora) and giant pussy willow (Salix chaenomeloides) ユーカリ・マルバヤナギ "Ninomaru" (second compound), Hiroshima Castle 広島城内 21 Motomachi, Naka-ku, Hiroshima 中区基町 21 The eucalypt is 740 meters away from the hypocenter. It was probably planted here in the early 20th century. It broke at 2.5 meters above the ground in a typhoon in 1971, but sprouted again. The giant pussy willow is 770 meters away from the hypocenter. The tree has round leaves, so it is called "maruba-yanagi" in Japanese, meaning "round-leaf willow." It has a big scar, but it looks well taken care of and thriving. Hiroshima Castle was established in 1589 by Mori Terumoto (1553-1625), who lost the War of Sekigahara in 1600 and was ordered to leave Hiroshima for today's Yamaguchi Prefecture. After Mori's Eucalypt departure, Fukushima Masanori (1561-1624) became the lord of Hiroshima, where he settled around 1601. But he too was ordered to leave Hiroshima by the Shogun in 1619, for the sin of repairing a part of the stone walls of the castle destroyed by a typhoon without the Shogun's permission. After Fukushima left, Asano Nagaakira (1586-1632) became the lord of Hiroshima. The ruling of the Asano family in Hiroshima continued for 12 generations until 1871. Giant pussy willow The main function of "Ninomaru" (the second compound) is to protect the innermost area of the castle, "Honmaru." Ninomaru was originally constructed from around 1598 to 1600. The wooden bridge leading to Ninomaru and the gate called "Omote Gomon" (meaning "front gate" or main gate) were reconstructed in 1991. The turrets at Ninomaru were reconstructed in 1994.

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.

Care Instructions for Garden Furniture Made of Eucalyptus
Care instructions for garden furniture made of eucalyptus The garden furniture are made of eucalyptus wood, which is a good natural Resistance has in the outdoor area. The garden furniture was treated with a colored wood care oil to prevent the wood from decay, dehydration and cracking. Like all wooden furniture, they are nevertheless subject to the Weather influence, this means they are subject to large temperature fluctuations, wet and intense Sunlight. Especially by rain, it comes to a rapid removal of impregnation. This essentially leads to the following phenomena: - Cracking and deformation. These are typical characteristics of wood that are themselves never completely avoid it. Usually, however, they affect the function of the furniture barely. - Mildew and mold. Both are fungus species that colonize spontaneously and exogenously wood and find particularly good soil on softened wood, especially on horizontal areas such as e.g. seats and table tops. Both phenomena are nursing errors and not a reason for complaint. The following notes should you Therefore, please pay attention to have more enjoyment of your garden furniture: - Avoid long exposure to moisture and stagnant water. Put the furniture in rain under or cover it with a cover. For short rains should the furniture tipped and wet after the rain wiped. For longer coverage must be provided for sufficient air circulation. - Cleaning with a soft brush and soapy water. - Treat regularly with wood care oil from specialist retailers.

The Deer Scroll by Kōetsu and Sōtatsu
The Deer Scroll by Kōetsu and Sōtatsu Reappraised Golden Week Lecture Series— Four Masterpieces of Japanese Painting: A Symposium Miyeko Murase, Former Consultant for Japanese Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Takeo and Itsuko Atsumi Professor Emerita, Columbia University Poem Scroll with Deer (part), Hon’ami Kōestu and Tawaraya Sōtatsu, early 17th century, handscroll, ink, gold and silver on paper, 13 3/8 x 372 in., Gift of Mrs. E. Frederick, 51.127 It has been quite some years since I last spoke here at this museum, so many in fact that I have lost count. It is really wonderful to be back, and I want to thank director Mimi Gates and curator Yukiko Shirahara, who invited me to speak today on the world-famous Deer Scroll by Sōtatsu and Kōetsu. This proud possession of the Seattle Art Museum is one of the most beautiful paintings ever created by Japanese artists.1 The scroll just came back from Japan after extensive restorative work. Although the handscroll itself does not bear any title, it is generally known as the Deer Scroll because the entire scroll is filled with images of deer, which are shown either singly, in couples, or in large herds. The animals are painted only in gold and/or silver ink, as is the very simple setting of sky, mist, and ground. As you may have noticed, these beautiful pictures of deer are really a background for the equally exquisite writings of waka poems in black ink. Here we have a symphony of three arts - poetry, painting, and calligraphy - as a testimonial to the ancient credo of Asia that these three arts occupy an equally important place in life and culture.

From Ieyasu to Yoshinao
2021 Summer Special Exhibition From Ieyasu to Yoshinao The Transition to a Powerful Pre-Modern State July 17 (Sat.) - September 12 (Sun.), 2021 INTRODUCTION Striving through the sengoku (Warring States) period, Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616) finally achieved the unification of the whole country. Yoshinao (1601-1650), the ninth son of Ieyasu, was assigned to govern the Owari domain during the era of peace. The two were father and son, yet they lived in contrasting times. Yoshinao, who inherited a large fortune of assets and texts from Ieyasu, established the foundations of the Owari domain and led Nagoya to prosperity. Focusing on the principles of their rule, passed down from Ieyasu to Yoshinao, this exhibition traces their lives, their administration, and Yoshinao’s feelings towards Ieyasu, as observed in historical documents and inherited objects. Part 1 Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toyotomi Family, and Tokugawa Yoshinao [ Exhibits Number: 1-42 ] Exhibition Rooms at Hosa Library [Section 1] Ieyasu during the Age of the Warring States: the Eve of Yoshinao’s Birth This section deals with the dramatic changes that occurred in the latter part of Ieyasu’s life, spanning the battle of Nagakute in 1584—in which Ieyasu and Nobukatsu (the second son of Nobunaga) fought Hideyoshi after Nobunaga’s death in 1582, Ieyasu’s subsequent vassalage to Hideyoshi, and the battle of Sekigahara in 1600. [Section 2] Yoshinao during the Age of the Warring States After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the 18th of the 8th month of 1598, Ieyasu increasingly came into conflict with Hideyoshi’s heir, Hideyori, and his vassals of western Japan, led by Ishida Mitsunari.

Received: 4 May 2020; Accepted: 3 June 2020; Published: 6 June 2020 Abstract: Eucalyptus spp. are among the most suitable species for biomass production, even for the firewood derived from medium-rotation coppice (MRC). The general problem of wood is that it cannot be utilized immediately because of the high moisture content, which in the combustion process would reduce remarkably the yield of energy. In this context, outdoor storage of whole stems without branches (WS), outdoor storage of whole stems with branches (WSB), open shed storage of firewood logs in mesh bags (OSF), and outdoor firewood logs in mesh bags (ODF) of Eucalyptus spp woody biomass were compared in term of moisture and dry matter loss to evaluate the most convenient form of storing biomass deriving from a medium-rotation coppice.
