Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

Japanese culture stretches back millennia, yet has created some of the latest modern technology and trends. Japan is a study in contrasts and contradictions; in the middle of a modern skyscraper you might discover a sliding wooden door which leads to a traditional chamber with tatami mats, calligraphy, and tea ceremony. These juxtapositions mean you may often be surprised and rarely bored by your travels in Japan. Voyagers will have the opportunity to experience Japanese hospitality first-hand by participating in a formal tea ceremony, visiting with a family in their home in Yokohama or staying overnight at a traditional ryokan. Japan has one of the world's best transport systems, which makes getting around convenient, especially by train. It should be noted, however, that travel in Japan is much more expensive when compared to other Asian countries. Japan is famous for its gardens, known for its unique aesthetics both in landscape gardens and Zen rock/sand gardens. Rock and sand gardens can typically be found in temples, specifically those of Zen Buddhism. Buddhist and Shinto sites are among the most common religious sites, sure to leave one in awe. From Yokohama: Nature lovers will bask in the splendor of Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji and the Silver Frost Festival. Kamakura and Tokyo are also nearby and offer opportunities to explore Zen temples and be led in meditation by Zen monks.

The Akamon of the Kaga Mansion and Daimyō Gateway Architecture in Edo1
AUTOR INVITADO Mirai. Estudios Japoneses ISSN-e: 1988-2378 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/MIRA.57100 Painting the town red: The Akamon of the Kaga mansion and daimyō gateway architecture in Edo1 William H. Coaldrake2 Abstract: Built in 1827 to commemorate the marriage of the daimyō Maeda Nariyasu to a daughter of the shogun Tokugawa Ienari, the Akamon or ‘Red Gateway’ of the University of Tokyo, is generally claimed to be a unique gateway because of its distinctive colour and architectural style. This article uses an inter- disciplinary methodology, drawing on architectural history, law and art history, to refute this view of the Akamon. It analyses and accounts for the architectural form of the gateway and its ancillary guard houses (bansho) by examining Tokugawa bakufu architectural regulations (oboegaki) and the depiction of daimyō gateways in doro-e and ukiyo-e. It concludes that there were close similarities between the Akamon and the gateways of high ranking daimyō in Edo. This similarity includes the red paint, which, it turns out, was not limited to shogunal bridal gateways but was in more general use by daimyō for their own gateways by the end of the Edo period. Indeed, the Akamon was called the ‘red gateway’ only from the 1880s after the many other red gateways had disappeared following the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate. The expression ‘to paint the town red’ refers not only to the way the Akamon celebrated the marriage of Yōhime, but also more broadly to characterize the way many of the other gateways at daimyō mansions in the central sectors of Edo had entrances that were decorated with bright red paint.

Zen Garden Case Study
“CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE APPROACH FOR A BUDDHISM TEMPLE.” BY NHI NGUYEN NARATIVE Buddhism is a faith that was founded by Siddhartha Gautama who is known as the Buddha more than 2,500 years ago. This is a major religion in East and Southeast Asia, but its influence is growing in the west. For the Buddhism follower, they don’t acknowledge a supreme God or Deity. They focus on achieving enlightenment - a state of inner peace and wisdom. The followers reach this spiritual echelon. Also, the Buddhists often meditate because they believe it helps awaken the truth. Zen is defined as a school of Mahayana Buddhism and is what lies at the core of Japanese culture. Zen meditation is a way of attentiveness and self-discovery which custom gives the experience of living from a second to a minute in the present. This is the way that Siddharta Gautama was enlightened and became the Buddha. Zen Buddhism is a concept or an idea. Zen gardens played a dominant role in their technique of contemplation and understanding . Zen garden (karesansui) is a Japanese rock garden which creates the landscape a miniature stylized landscape through carefully composed or arrangement of rocks, water feature, moss, prune trees and shrubs, sand, and gravel. They reflect on how essential the natural world is. The garden is an excellent idea for contemplatives to reflect on life and nature. Today, Zen garden is an urbanized world. They are presented in homes, libraries, offices, and schools around the world.

Section 1 Martial Arts in East Asia
SECTION 1 MARTIAL ARTS IN EAST ASIA CHAPTER I A CROSS-CULTURAL STUDY OF JAPANESE BUDō IN THE GLOBAL ERA Uozumi Takashi CHAPTER II A COMPARISON OF CHINESE AND JAPANESE MARTIAL ARTS Lin Boyuan CHAPTER III THE DEVELOPMENT OF KOREAN MARTIAL ARTS IN THE POSTWAR ERA Park JooBong CHAPTER I A CROSS-CULTURAL STUDY OF JAPANESE BUDō IN THE GLOBAL ERA Uozumi Takashi A CROSS-CULTURAL STUDY OF JAPANESE BUDō IN THE GLObaL ERA INTRODUCTION Within the context of today’s rapid globalisation of politics, economy and society, the global proliferation of Japanese budō has become a pressing matter as well. Budō, or the Japanese “martial ways” are based on martial culture which evolved during the Edo period (1603–1867) in bushi (samurai) society, and was later reorganised and modernised during the Meiji period (1868–1912). After the Second World War, budō was “sportified” and subsequently internationalised; however, the introduction and subsequent phenomenal development of budō in foreign countries has brought to light the need to understand the complex dynamics seen in its globalisation. A study on “global budō” must consider the problems that Japanese budō will have to endure while it undergoes the process of globalisation, and thereby unveil new potential for budō culture in contemporary society. We need to explore both the obvious and inconspicuous aspects of budō, and seek to somehow retain its essence. Nowadays, Korean and Chinese martial arts are also embracing globalisation. Modern sports are commercialising which brings to the fore numerous issues and complexities, and it seems that we are approaching an important turning point in global sports culture across the board.
