Davis Sermon Notes www.twojourneys.org Please use in accordance with the copyright policy found at twojourneys.org The Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit Ephesians 6:17 Few things in military history have so aroused the passions and imaginations of warriors as the SWORD… a long, shiny, sharp weapon of death… the sword devours life and leaves death in its path; the technological advances of metallurgy and of the design of the perfect blade has been a big part of that imagination… the dream of a PERFECT SWORD Throughout military history, no technology was so carefully developed and guarded as that of swordmaking… the sword was the most powerful weapon in the world before the advent of gunpowder… thus it became a symbol of military conquest To live by the sword or to die by the sword meant to live and die by military conquest Swords are mentioned 404 times in the Bible… The merest mention of the word sword evokes images of legendary figures: English knights, Roman gladiators, Japanese Samurai, or Viking warriors. When I was a missionary in Japan, I became fascinated by the katana, the legendary Samurai sword that was forged with astonishing precision by ancient technologies When you look at the edge of an exquisitely forged Samurai blade, you can see ripples in the steel… as though there are layers upon layers of steel And that’s because that is exactly what they are… layers after layers of two different types of steel: High carbon steel, that is exceptionally hard: such steel can be

  • 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.

Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations. 7. https://repository.upenn.edu/ealc/7 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/ealc/7 For more information, please contact [email protected]. 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.

  • Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) 1
    International Journal of Korean History (Vol.18 No.2, Aug. 2013) 31 Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) 1 Nakano Hitoshi* Foreword The Japanese invasion of Korea in the late 16th Century is also called the Chosŏn (Joseon) Campaign or the Bunroku Keicho Offensive in Japan or the Imjin (Jp., Jinshin) War. In Japan, studies of the event have been actively conducted since the Edo period. There is a large amount of aca- demic research also in the early modern period. A historic review of the Bunroku Keicho Offensive that I wrote in regard of Japan in the early modern period appeared in the Report of the Second Round of the Korea- Japan Commission for the Joint Study of History, Subcommittee-2 (2010). Here, I intend to focus on recent research trends in Japan. Therefore, please refer to that previous article for discussions carried on in the period preceding Shōwa. In the main text, I intend to outline the research trends up to the 1970s, which relates to what I am asked to do, and then review the state of research in the 1980s and thereafter. Part of this will overlap with the contents of the previous article. I will deal with the task in units of a decade, and include explanation where necessary. * Kyushu University Faculty of Social and Cultural Studies 32 Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) Research Trend up to the 1970s In the post-World War II period, a new view was adopted concerning the flow of the post-war study of history, inheriting the demonstrative research of the pre-war period.

Another highlight is the collection of Meiji, Taishō and Shōwa–era displays overflowing with dolls and accessories and reaching as much as two meters high by seven meters wide. Here, we introduce this world of the Doll Festival reaching heights of luxury and elegance achievable only in such a household of the daimyō elite. The Tokugawa Art Museum's Hina Doll Collection Yūsoku-bina of Lady Kane-hime The Tokugawa Art Museum has a large hina doll collection. The most gorgeous sets of dolls belonged to Lady Kane-hime (1831– 1902), who married the 14th Lord of Owari, Tokugawa Yoshikatsu (1824–1883), at the age of 19. It was customary for a daimyō's daughter to bring her hina dolls with her when she married into another daimyō family, so Kane-hime’s dolls were passed down in the Owari Tokugawa family and eventually came to the Museum. Yūsoku-bina (two sets of hina dolls and five gagaku musicians) All of Kane-hime’s hina dolls belong to the category of yūsoku-bina.
