A Normal Life : Chronicle Of A Sumo Wrestler

 Sumo
Sumo (相撲 sumō?) is a competitive full-contact wrestling sport where a wrestler (rikishi) attempts to force another wrestler out of a circular ring (dohyō) or to touch the ground with anything other than the soles of the feet. The sport originated in Japan, the only country where it is practiced professionally. It is generally considered to be a gendai budō (a modern Japanese martial art), though this definition is incorrect as the sport has a history spanning many centuries. Many ancient traditions have been preserved in sumo, and even today the sport includes many ritual elements, such as the use of salt purification, from the days when sumo was used in the Shinto religion. Life as a rikishi is highly regimented, with rules laid down by the Sumo Association. Most sumo wrestlers are required to live in communal "sumo training stables" known in Japanese as heya where all aspects of their daily lives—from meals to their manner of dress—are dictated by strict tradition.

Takuya is 18, with tousled hair and an athletic look. Driven by his father and sponsors, he leaves his hometown in Hokkaido to go to Tokyo and joins a sumo stable. There, he will share everything with the 10 other wrestlers: day-to-day life, training, social life and tournaments. The first 9 months of Takuya's initiation, telling about the dreams and disenchantment of a teenager who is discovering the reality of the traditional world of sumo.

Japan’s Finance Minister Rocks Gangster-style

Japan’s Finance Minister Rocks Gangster-style for G-20 Trip


Finance ministers are not often recognized for their fashion sense. But Japanese finance minister Taro Aso set Twitter ablaze Friday with his gangster-style attire as he was leaving Japan for the weekend’s G-20 meeting in Moscow. (Or was it a meeting of the heads of the Five Families?)
The 72-year-old Mr. Aso, who is also a former Japanese prime minister, is known to be a natty dresser.  Local media once reported that he even stitched lead weights in the hem of his trousers, so his pants can rest just so.
In the month and a half since Shinzo Abe became prime minister, Mr. Aso has already emerged as one of the cabinet’s more colorful figures. His stylish wardrobe is matched by a quick wit and an outspoken manner that periodically veers into gaffes.
Mr. Aso’s OG (original gangster) outfit Friday started trending on Twitter with “Mafia” and “Aso-san” popping up on the top trends list in Japan. He even got a thumbs-up from a Vogue Japan editor Mayumi Nakamura who called his travel gear “super cool.”

縄文海進と古神道、神社、天皇制

天皇制と書いているからといって、イデオロギーの話しじゃありません。宗教とか政体とか建築物の位置なるものは、地球の気候に左右されるというお話です。
要約すると、
  • 神道の起源は、天皇家が日本に来た弥生時代よりもずっと古い。
  • 天皇家が神道に結びつけられるのは、天皇家よりも古くからある神道（山岳信仰、怨霊信仰）を簒奪・憑依したものであり、天皇家が神道を創設したわけではない。
  • 現存する神社のほとんどは、天皇家とは縁もゆかりもないものである。
  • 古代において神社を総覧した天皇家は、中世・近世においてその力を失ったわけであるが、それが慶応４年から再度その力を盛り返したのであり、中世、近世も含めて天皇家が神社を総覧したわけではなく、断絶している。国家神道という概念も慶応４年からはじまった新しい概念である。
など、まだ整理していませんが、ここら当たりをつらつらと述べてみたい。しかし、もちろん、私はいち技術者で、日本史の専門家でも宗教の専門家でもありませんので、間違いがありましたらご指摘下さい。

Don't laugh at Japanese local conservative village people, please

I was born in Yokohama city, central Japan and we Yokohama citizen are not so much conservative, primitive....
It's better to replace David to Yokohama, or Tokyo, or Osaka, wherever any places, any Japanese big cities.

You know? "島根県 奥出雲町"="Okuizumo town in western Shimane prefecture" is;
like this town. Deep forest, no sky scraper, old fashioned (like Edo ara?) town. Then, in such a peaceful town, suddenly, huge world famous statue has appeared. Maybe 99.9% of village people don't know who is Michelangelo, who is David, but,
they saw huge statue of a white naked man with big penis. (日本人諸君、これを「ペニス」と発音してもらっては困る。「ピーナス」と発音して頂きたい)
You know? Any countries are it's happened same things.
OK, I'm living in Sri Lanka. If huge statue of a white naked man with big penis appeared in Anuradapura, Kandy, etc., such local cities, it's happened similar problem.
Not only Asia local cities, also it'll be happened in "Back to the Future", like that town in US? Do you understand?
Don't laugh at them, please.... But I.... I.... Hihihihihihi.... Oh! sorry, very very sorry....
It's joke....(・o・)

Japon: le David de Michel-Ange doit-il mettre un slip ?
Des résidents d'une bourgade japonaise veulent mettre un slip à une réplique de la célèbre sculpture David de Michel-Ange, afin d'en cacher les attributs masculins qu'ils ne sauraient voir.

 La petite ville d'Okuizumo dans la préfecture de Shimane (ouest) a reçu l'été dernier des répliques de 5 mètres de haut du David de Michel-Ange et de la Vénus de Milo, offertes par un homme d'affaires de la région. Elles ont été érigées dans un parc public où sont installés divers équipements sportifs et une aire de jeux pour enfants.

 "Des habitants ont dit aux élus municipaux que leurs enfants avaient peur des statues, qui sont énormes et sont apparues sans crier gare cet été", a expliqué un employé municipal, Yoji Morinaga, à l'AFP.

 "Ces statues représentent des personnes nues, un style artistique très rare dans notre région. Des gens pensent que ce n'est pas bon pour leurs enfants", a-t-il ajouté.

 Certains ont même demandé à ce qu'on mette un slip à David, a précisé le quotidien Yomiuri Shimbun.

 "C'est la première fois que nous avons quelque chose de ce genre chez nous, ce qui laisse peut-être songeurs certains habitants", a souligné M. Morinaga.

 Les responsables municipaux ont toutefois bon espoir que les résidents finissent par apprécier ces sculptures, qui pourraient être utiles pour l'instruction artistique des enfants, ou pour attirer des touristes.

 La statue originale de David, sculptée au début du XVIe siècle par Michel-Ange, se trouve à la Galleria dell'Accademia de Florence (nord de l'Italie). Celle de la Venus de Milo, découverte en 1820 sur l'île grecque de Mélos, est au musée du Louvre à Paris.
Japanese offended by David's nudity
A replica of Michelangelo's Renaissance sculpture David is unnerving residents of a Japanese town, with some calling for the naked masterpiece to be given underpants.

 Okuizumo town in western Shimane prefecture received five-metre replicas of David and of Greek treasure the Venus de Milo last year as donations from a businessman who hails from the area.

 The statues were put up in a large public park that also includes a full-size running track, a baseball stadium, tennis courts, a mountain bike course and a play area with apparatus for children.

 "Some people have told the town's legislators that toddlers are afraid of the statues because they are so big and they appeared unexpectedly over the summer," town official Yoji Morinaga told AFP.

 "They are statues of unclothed humans, and such pieces of artwork are very rare in our area. Some people apparently said the statues might not be good for their children."

 While many locals have welcomed the new cultural additions to the mountainside town of fewer than 15,000, some have asked for David to wear underwear to preserve his modesty, the Yomiuri Shimbun said.

 "It is the first time we have had anything like this in our town. Perhaps people were perplexed," Morinaga said.

 The town believes over time residents will come to appreciate the value of the sculptures, which could be useful in school art classes and may one day become a sightseeing attraction, he said.

 The original David is housed in the Accademia di Belle Arti, in Florence, Italy.

 The Louvre in Paris is home to the armless Venus de Milo, which stands a little over two metres tall.

 Earlier this week Tokyo-based photographer Leslie Kee was arrested for selling books containing pictures of male genitals.

 Kee, 41, whose subjects have included Lady Gaga and Beyonce, could be jailed for up to two years and/or fined up to 2.5 million yen ($A26,085) if convicted of obscenity.

 Pornography is widely available and produced in Japan, but under domestic law genitals must be obscured, a process usually done through pixelation.
ダビデ裸像に町民から苦情、「下着はかせて」 島根県
島根県の奥出雲町で、公園に昨年夏に突然設置されたイタリア・ルネサンス期の芸術家ミケランジェロ（Michelangelo）のダビデ像のレプリカが、住民を困惑させている。中には、裸像のダビデに下着をはかせるよう要求する声もあるという。

高さ5メートルのダビデ像とギリシャの至宝「ミロのビーナス（Venus de Milo）」像のレプリカは、ある実業家の男性が故郷への恩返しとして奥出雲町に寄贈したもの。町では町内の運動公園と児童遊園地にそれぞれ像を設置した。

ところが、AFPの取材に応じた町役場によると町民から「子供たちが巨大な像を怖がっている」といった苦情があったという。また、地域では珍しい裸像に対し、子供の教育に良くないと主張する人もいるという。

読売新聞（Yomiuri Shimbun）の報道によれば、町民の多くはダビデ像の設置を歓迎しているものの、一部町民はダビデ像に下着をはかせるよう要求しているという。

取材に応じた町役場の担当者は、このような像が町に設置されたのは初めてで住民が当惑しているのだろうと述べた。町では、像は学校の美術教育に役立つほか将来的には観光資源にもなり得るとして、時間とともに住民も像の価値を理解してくれるはずだと期待している。
