Japanese Education in KITSUKI

 

Gate for School

This is a gate for elementary school. How historical gate is. This town has a lot of historical houses around. 

Today, I had a practice for baseball. Then, there is a one kids team on the same ground. I felt one strange feelings from the kids. It was just a greeting. They don’t say any thanks even if I help them. 

It is strange to me. Those kids can not response at any situations. I wonder if they have seen at any moment, how they will act. 

Education system is changing. 

In EDO era, it must be a strict education. Kids don’t know anything. So. Elder people teach a lot of things for them. There is a strict responsibility for education.

Japanese Picture｜Natural Arts

Japanese House

Japanese Historical House!!

In Oita, Kitsuki city, there are some historical houses around the town.

I visited one of house. I want to share just one window. It is not so big size. It is just window as we see our lives.

This picture is the window. Japanese window can show us a picture of art. From inside of room, you will be able to see various views at any where in the room. Besides, the views will change at four seasons. The picture never has the same picture. The picture change at any single second.

Can you feel any sounds of wind? The room has no items. The room has only natural arts.

However, this windows are everywhere around our lives. But I notice that I have forgotten I live with nature.

Facing to various culture, give us a lot of opportunities to notice that we have forggoten in the past. Look at your foot or historical culture. We will be able to find what we forgot.

My Hometown is

My hometown is OITA, Japan. It is south of Japna in Kyushu area. Everyone has own hometown. What do we feel about our own hometown? Most of people say “I love hometown”. Yeah, I understand it. However, what kind of feeling give us such image? I want to think about it.

“Long time give us invisible Love”  
Wherever people can love at any place. But if it has much time, it gives much love. Short time can not give any good image except any effort of trying to get or feel something. I mean we need to try to see a good part of any moment that we feel. Don’t try to find a bad image. Share the time with a great part of hometown but we have to understand the good points of the place. Spend the time with happy story.

My Hometown is small town. But it has great view, sound and view.

Too Much Information

Onion

This is my nature field “www.jiuson.com“. I visit to this place once a week. The place has only Nature. No sounds of Traffice and TV.  Our living situation is chaning so fast in these days.  It is because of internet and traffic systems. It is easy get tons of information. However, this situation is giving hard time to human lives.

5 or 10 years ago, I have never heard the name of sickness “Depression” in Japan. It is increasing the number of people dealing with the depression. Why is that?

• Too much information
• Too busy with information
• Too fast with everything
• There are not many times to talk yourself.
• Hiegh-tech system(Electron) around lives.

I guess human is losing some time of concentrating on yourself. People are not close to each other. The one of reason is “Protection of Personal Information”. This system give us some distance between people. When I was age 10 or 15, it was so easy to borrow anything such as kitchen tools, seasoning and livingware. In other word, my neighborhood was like a family. But it changes so different.

People start to hesitate talking about yourself and try to protect what they say. People are leaving their own “Open Mind”. We need to define all information that we get from TV or News. Those Information is coming from as the second infromation. It is not the First or Original information.

It is too easy to get any information from the world. So, now we need to ask what we want to do for ourselves.

Vacation in Japan feel Japanese culture

Asakusa

This is Sensouji – 浅草寺 in Tokyo ASAKUSA. And the simbol is the KAMINARI MON. There is a big lantern. If you have not been to this place, you should visit once. But if you really want to see a real Japanese Culture. You have to see the back-ground of what you see.

About this Gate. This gate was rebuilt by Panasonic, KOUNOSUKE MATSUSHITA in 1960. Because of fire in 1865, during about 95 years there was a temporary gate. Mr. MATSUSHITA was a great CEO in Japan. Japanese old architecutre are not so many in Japan. Why is that? Maybe, Japan need to have a strong house because of a lot of earthquake and other.

So, if you see Japanese temples, you should stop and see the details. You can see how detail it is.

  

Main street of ASAKUSA

 It was rainy day. This street is the main street after you pass the KAMINARI MON. If it is weekend, wow there are so many people. While you walk the street, you will be able to see a lot of souvenirs such as traditional food, toys and goods. Well, it is fun to see also.

 

  

Asakusa Sensouji

 

Wow, what beautiful gate!! I love it. You should see how it is detail architecture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Behind the Business Street

 

This is the behind the Main Street. I love this street than main street. You can see Japanese old architecture and atmosphere. You can compare with above main street picture. What can you feel from the picture?

Some of houses are so old. And low roof is there. Try to see other road. You will be able to see Beautiful Japan. Or you should try some manner of drink or foods. Some of foreign people dislike about Japanese people make a sounds when people drink. Japanese people don’t care if it makes sound or not.

Japanese people feels 6 senses so much.

Enjoy Japanese Culture!!

Learn Japan Compare to Other Countries.

Stuttgart-Germany

Wow, what a wonderful view.

Most of Japanese tourists say Germany is beautiful country. I gree with it. I know some of places are not what I say. But I can learn a lot of great things from other countires. Here are my image of Germany.

• Forest
• Nature
• Mature Culture
• Feel Philosophy
• Mature Morals

My images might not fit for Germany people. But this is a culture differece. I just see only good part of it. However, I could learn from it. One of my best point of Germany is “Mature Culture”. I felt so much culture in Germany. Because I could see, touch, read and feel the culture so much. “See Culture”. It is easy to see a lot of culture from buildings. “Touch Culture”. Most of Japanese building is not easy to touch. I felt German Morals. “Read Culture”. Japan is not organized for foreign tourists. English has not been organized as the second common language yet. “Feel Culture”.  It is hard to explain in word. But I felt the culture really close. That is why, I feel that I want to go back to Germany again. This is it.

And everything was so easy to understand such as Traffice Information, Rail Ways and Roads. It was very helpful for tourist. Great Germany. I learnd a lot. Thanks.

Japanese Monster Parents

Monster Parents. Have you heard this phrase before? Some of parents who have young children are called “MONSTER PARENTS”. Why are they monster?

• Parents are taking all responsibility away from kids
• Parents does not pay any school provided lunch
• Parents complain with teachers or other people in school

I understand that those parents love children so much. I understand it. However, I don’t agree with parents who take care of everything for children even if the children make mistakes. The parents take all risk and responsibility. This does not give any chance to children to think what they have done.

I think this situation came from nuclear family. Parents has only one child. The parents has no time to talk to child. That is why, those children start to find some where they can talk such as internet. So, parents are taking all chances from children.  oh-no, let’s change such monsters people. It might be hard to organize those people. But one thing we can do is “Change Yourself”. It is hard to control others. But it is easy to control myself.

Samurai Japan

Sun Rise 朝日

World Baseball Classic. Japanese team won the fist of WBC game. Then now Japan is having the Second stage game in Tokyo, Japan.

Japanese Team is called as “Samurai Japan”. What does the Japanese Samurai do? They don’t do any special thing. Those Samurai people have strong will. It is easy to give some supports for customers.

Lately, Japan has one certain CM on TV. It was about mobile phone sales. The Catch copy was like Japanese Economy information.

The mobile phone can display 2 windows when you want TV program. You can see two types of display. So that the CM explain it for customer as “For people who can not make any decision”. Wow, it was strong CM. I have never seen such CM in Japan. 

Play with Earth

Play with Earth

 

 Play with Earth “http://www.jiuson.com“.  My family starts small agriculture. Actually, we have no idea for agriculture. But I believe that this experience will help me so much in the future. This is a small village.  We start to learn about Japanese Culture. This is our challenge. We have no idea how much we can learn from this village.

Play with Earth.

• 地 Means Earth.
• 遊 Means Play.
• 村 Means Village.

Are you playing with Earth? We love Earth. Nature give us a lot of things to learn. Thank you Earth.

Japanese Classroom

There are one teacher and some students in one class. Teacher gives some questions for students. Japanese students are usually no answers. I should say that they don’t answer the questions. Because of these,

• I am ashamed.
• wrong answers. This is same as SAKE.

In the US, if teachers ask for questions, the students ask so many questions for the teacher.
Then, after the classroom, Japanese student talk about the answers or other information.
I was shocked but this is real situation now. It is like a Japanese government. damn!!
