Life in Ogaki Or Local Events The Seino Guide 2012 - 2013 The guide to all things Seino for the JET community. 1 Acknowledgements The JET Programme has over 10 ALTs stationed in Seino. There are also a fair number of ―has been‘s‖ floating around the area as well. The following information profiling Seino townships and the city of Ogaki has been graciously volunteered unto the Seino RPAs by ALTs new and old. Past authors of the Seino guide include: 2003-2004 Audra Loyal Christian Sheehan 2004-2005 Rachel Victor Shane Moore 2005-2006 Adele Phillips PJ Standlee 2006-2007 Josh Brunotte Kelly Madland 2007-2008 Josh Brunotte Matt Stoner 2007-2008 Matt Stoner Erin Plant 2008-2009 Rachel Owen 2009-2011 Jodie Condick Rachel Owen 2011-2012 Heather Meehan 2012-2013 Wesley Beltz As much as we would like this work to be the definitive guide to Seino, we realize that it would be impossible and unreasonable to create such a guide. Please make considerable use of this compilation, but know that there is so much more out there than what is represented here. Do not be afraid of asking fellow JETs, coworkers, neighbors, or even random strangers for help or information. Despite what language barriers there may or may not be, whomever you ask is likely to help you as much as possible. If they are unable to help, they‘ll probably direct you to someone who can. Of course don‘t forget, your friendly RPAs are here to help, too. Wesley Beltz and Anna Fujishige 2 Where We Are You‘re not in Kansas anymore. You are in the Seino area of Gifu Prefecture in the Tokai region of Japan‘s Honshu Island. Still have no clue where you are? Have a look below! 3 4 西濃地区 Seino-chiku Gifu Prefecture is comprised of five regions: Hida, Tono, Chuno, Gifu, and Seino. The southern half of Gifu was once called Mino, while the northern half has been called Hida since time immemorial, or so we are led to believe. The name Mino (美濃) accounts for the ―no‖ in the names Seino (西濃), Chuno (中濃) and Tono (東濃), while sei means west, chu means middle, and to means east. As its name implies, Seino is the most western edge of Gifu Prefecture. It contains the site of a historically significant battle, was traversed by the famous Nakasendo trade route, and is known to this day for water: high water tables, flooding, and tasty potable water. Seino is comprised of 21 smaller regions. From northern-most to southern-most they are: 藤橋村 ふじはしむら Fujihashi-mura 坂内村 さかうちむら Sakauchi-mura 久瀬村 くぜむら Kuze-mura 谷汲村 たにぐみむら Tanigumi-mura 揖斐川町 いびがわちょう Ibigawa-cho 春日村 かすがむら Kasuga-mura 大野町 おおのちょう Ono-cho 池田町 いけだちょう Ikeda-cho 神戸町 ごうどちょう Godo-cho 垂井町 たるいちょう Tarui-cho 赤坂町 あかさかちょう Akasaka-cho 関ヶ原町 せきがはらちょう Sekigahara-cho 大垣市 おおがきし Ogaki-shi 墨俣町 すのまたちょう Sunomata-cho 安八町 あんぱちちょう Anpachi-cho 上石津町 かみいしづちょう Kamiishizu-cho 養老町 ようろうちょう Yoro-cho 輪之内町 わのうちちょう Wanouchi-cho 平田町 ひらたちょう Hirata-cho 南濃町 なんのうちょう Nanno-cho 海津町 かいづちょう Kaizu-cho Note: Many of these townships have consolidated and so are technically under a different city name (市-shi), but still use the same town names (町-cho). 5 Transportation Seino is a relatively easy area to get around in, to and from thanks to the train and bus systems. Running east and west through the middle of Seino is the JR Tokkaido Line (there‘s also a secondary line running between Ogaki and Sekigahara: the Mino-Akasaka Line). It is the best way to start off if you‘re headed for day trips west towards Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto and Hikone, or east to Gifu, Nagoya, Toyota, Centrair, Tokyo and other destinations. There are trains running north and south within Seino as well; the Yoro Tetsudo runs north and south between Ogaki and Kuwana, stopping in Yoro; and northwest line from the Ogaki Yoro Tetsudo Station to Ibi, that stops in Ikeda, and Godo. Additionally, there is the Tarumi Line (northeast) from Ogaki JR. The Shinkansen cuts through Seino as well, but the closest stop, Hashima, is nothing short of inconvenient for most JETs. If you would like to go somewhere to the west or north of Gifu via Shinkansen, first take JR to Maibara, and then board the Shinkansen from there. If you are interested in eastern Japan, go to Nagoya via JR, and then board the Shinkansen in Nagoya Station. The Shuttle Ticket, or shatteru kippu, is available for purchase from Ogaki, Tarui and Sekigahara stations and is a round-trip discount ticket package (Includes Shinkansen and regular rail tickets) for Kyoto or Osaka. To use the ticket, take the normal JR line to Maibara and then transfer to the Shinkansen to continue onwards. From Ogaki to Osaka the trip normally takes 1hr 30mins and to Kyoto, around 1hr 15mins. Prices from Ogaki: Kyoto (round-trip) ¥4480, Osaka (round-trip) ¥6060. Before running off to the station to gaze at the time tables, or buy a big time schedule book at your local Book Off, check out these sites first: www.jorudan.co.jp/english/norikae www.hyperdia.com (then click English) Both of these sites are in English and can be very helpful in planning your trips and both are downloadable (In Japanese) as apps for smart phones. Simply plug information into the required fields then wait a few seconds while the site generates several itinerary options for you. The Japanese version of Hyperdia often has more choices and more information available than the English version. It is recommended that if you are planning a long trip and want to print your schedule, do it first in English and then in Japanese. That way you‘ll have a schedule that has the kanji that you‘ll need to be looking out for, but one that is also easy for you to check. For those that have a car, finding locations in Japan is not as easy as finding a location like in America, Canada or other grid-based countries. If you are going somewhere new, it is recommended you look up the address on Google maps first, and perhaps purchase a road map book for Gifu (If your predecessor hasn‘t left one for you in the car). If you plan on purchasing a smartphone, there are apps for free navigation systems that make getting around Japan by car that much easier (While google maps for iPhone is good, it has been known to get some ALTs lost in the past and so downloading other apps is recommended). ‗Japan Map Fan‘ for iPhone (And perhaps other smartphones) is a great app that allows you to look up addresses by phone number, address, or key word. It will filter routes using either regular roads, pay roads, or walking options and will also give you directions verbally. The only downside is this app only runs in Japanese. Before you run off to exotic sites outside of Seino, check out what your neighbors have to offer! Listed below are descriptions of things to do and see in Seino, some including the 6 Japanese websites for the town. There‘s plenty of ways to keep busy in Seino! 藤橋村 Fujihashi-mura (incorporated with Ibigawa-cho in 2005) Fujihashi-mura is home to an observatory, and it‘s a fairly modest-sized one at that. The Fujihashi Castle houses the Nishimino Planetarium, as well as a small historical exhibit. 谷汲村 Tanigumi-mura (incorporated with Ibigawa-cho in 2005) This tiny mountain village north of Ogaki is great for an afternoon outing. Tanigumi is famed as one of the best places to see fall foliage in Gifu Prefecture. It has a quaint, shop-lined main street terminating in a large temple complex. The main temple has a ‗key‘ of sorts kept in the darkness under the temple. It is said that if one ventures down through the dark path underneath and touches the ‗key‘ he or she will have good luck. A short drive away, another temple complex features none other than Japan‘s only mummy (ミイラ miira). Before achieving mummification— enlightenment was never his goal— the former monk starved himself to death in a cave out of a desire to become something similar to a statue of Buddha, forever frozen in a state of meditation. He charges 500 円 per viewing. To get to the mummy, take the Tarumi Line from Ogaki to Tanigumi-guchi (560 円), then take a bus to Tanigumi-san Temple. The Tarumi train runs infrequently, so it may be best to befriend someone with a car. 揖斐川町 Ibigawa-cho http://www.town.ibigawa.gifu.jp/ With its many rivers, big and small, Ibi is known for ayu fishing in the summer. Along the rivers there are little stalls that locals set up to prepare the sweet fish fresh. Ibi has a ramen shop named Ban Rai Ramen. To get there, take the Yoro Tetsudo-Ibi Line from Ogaki Yoro Tetsudo station all the way to the last stop, Ibi. Walk toward the main road from the station, turn right and walk north. The shop is readily seen as it has a big yellow sign with red kanji. Ban Rai is reputed to be ―one of the best ramen and cha-han places you‘ll be able to find in the area.‖ Ibigawa-cho is also home to Yashaga-ike, a pond with an incredible legend. It is located atop a mountain in Sakauchi-mura and many JETs have enjoyed hiking to this location. Here is a brief version of the legend: Once a long time ago during the Heian Period there was a relentless drought in the Godo-cho area.

  • Sangaku--Japanese Mathematics and Art in the 18Th,19Th and 20Th Centuries
    Proceedings of Bridges 2014: Mathematics, Music, Art, Architecture, Culture Sangaku--Japanese Mathematics and Art in the 18th,19th and 20th Centuries Hidetoshi Fukagawa Kani-city, Gifu,509-0235,Japan E-mail:[email protected] Kazunori Horibe Aichi Prefectural Kasugai-Higashi Senior High School Tajimi-city,Gifu,507-0824.Japan E-mail:[email protected] Abstract In the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries ordinary people enjoyed traditional Japanese mathematics all over Japan. They made sangaku, votive wooden tablets with geometry problems, and hung them in many temples and shrines. The problems were presented artistically in color to attract the visitor’s eye. The world of sangaku means both Japanese mathematics and art dedicated to temples and shrines. 1 Sangaku as Sacred Mathematics From the 18th to early 20th centuries, Japanese mathematicians consisting of professionals, amateurs, women and children created sangaku, which are wooden tablets adorned with beautiful geometric problems, presented as works of art. The name literally means mathematical tablet (san = mathematics, gaku = tablet). The creators of these sangaku hung them by the thousands in Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines throughout Japan. For that reason the entire collection of sangaku problems has come to be known as geometry of sacred mathematics [1], [2], [3]. Figure 1 shows a wooden tablet that was created and hung in 1875 under the roof of the Kaizu Tenman shrine located at Shiga prefecture. Figure 1: A wooden tablet under the roof of the Kaizu Tenman shrine. 111 Fukagawa and Horibe 2 Exhibition of sankagu in 2004 at the Nagoya Science Museum Fukagawa supervised the first exhibition of sangaku in 2004 at the Nagoya Science Museum with about one hundred sangaku transported from all over Japan.
