Hearing about his depth of knowledge in politics and religion, and his dream of studying at university to protect his country, I was shocked that someone my age had such experiences.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>During my time studying in the UK at the age of 20, I received news that a friend who had returned to Iran for conscription had passed away, and I had to send his belongings back to his family.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Both friends spoke highly of the Japanese people who, since the era of white colonialism, have opened up the world. Similar stories resonated with people I met from Indonesia, India, and Africa during my studies.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, in Australia and the UK, I felt uneasy as a Japanese person on Victory Day, given the historical context. In Japanese schools, I had only been taught about the negative aspects related to Korea and China, leaving a sense of guilt. Wanting to know the truth, I began to research and even explored the stories of my grandfather\'s generation who were in the military.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Later, I lived in South Korea for a year, and I found that many elderly people believed that Korea\'s development was thanks to Japan. Upon further investigation, I discovered that Seoul National University was established before Osaka University, highlighting Japan\'s contributions to local education.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>China shares a similar sentiment. Japanese efforts in building railways, initiating industries, and fostering the development of Manchuria (northeastern China) significantly improved the lives of local residents.

Thanks to the support of many seniors, volunteers from the organizing committee, and contributors, the event has been successfully held every year except in 2020 (due to event suspension caused by COVID-19). We express our sincere gratitude to all those who have supported us.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since 2013, with the sponsorship of the Osaka Tourism Bureau and the support of Osaka City and Osaka Prefecture, the event expanded to Osaka. The coverage by media outlets such as NHK and Mainichi Shimbun, as well as collaboration with ethnic media in nine languages, has increased awareness among Japanese and foreign communities interested in international exchange.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 2021, we relocated the main venue to Osaka and also ventured into real-time video streaming, connecting with audiences overseas.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thanks to this, we have been able to engage professional organizers for various events. However, returning to our roots, we humbly and earnestly commit to continuing our efforts for the event. I would like to express our feelings for this event.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>NHK\'s Red and White Singing Festival (IRWS) is considered one of the few television programs that three generations can enjoy together while communicating. Producers consciously create the program with this in mind, as mentioned in TV interviews.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The image of the \'International Red and White Singing Festival (IRWS) \' is not limited to three generations of families. It extends to scenarios where, for example, international students, lodgers from abroad, and grandchildren from an American daughter in an international marriage all enjoy watching together.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Did you know that in Tokyo and Osaka, one in ten couples is in an international marriage? If you look around your relatives, you probably have someone like that. Even if you have had no interaction with foreigners so far if your sister marries someone from Africa, you might feel a connection with people from Africa, and if your son marries a Chinese person, regardless of the country\'s political system, you would likely try to understand your daughter-in-law.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>From the ages of 18 to 24, I lived mostly overseas and learned how people from other countries have a positive image of Japan, its culture, and its people. Many expressed a desire to visit Japan at least once.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With the yen depreciating and living standards rising in neighboring Asian countries, the number of foreign tourists in Japan is expected to increase. However, Japanese people who are close friends with foreigners living in Japan are still a minority.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now is the time for all Japanese people, even if it\'s just one person, to make an effort to make friends with foreigners in the workplace, school, and community. If Japanese people make such efforts, the number of Japan\'s fans will increase, and ultimately, this can become a significant bulwark protecting the country.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When I was 18, I became friends with a young man from Lebanon, a refugee in Australia. Since then, I have been thinking about how people around the world can live in peace and what Japanese people can do. I also encountered various religions and ways of thinking.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After about 30 years of exploration, I found myself drawn to the Shinto philosophy of Japan, which emphasizes unity with nature. Shinto is not a religion but a way of thinking, accepting people of any religion, making it a universal concept.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If environmental degradation continues at the current pace, many scientists warn that by 2050, significant environmental changes will occur, making it nearly impossible for most people to lead a decent life.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>　<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9xFFyUOpXo\">\"Before the Earth Breaks: A Introduction Video Featuring Leonardo DiCaprio on National Geographic\"</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In this video, Leonardo DiCaprio takes center stage as he discusses the urgent need to address the environmental challenges our planet faces.

New Year\'s, among Japan\'s annual events, is a particularly culturally rich time. But have you ever wondered why we celebrate the New Year in Japan? The answer may not readily come to mind because celebrating the New Year has become a common and expected practice. However, each of these events has a well-founded reason.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So, let\'s talk about Japan\'s New Year. The cultural roots of Japan\'s annual events, especially holidays, lie in two major themes: Shinto and agriculture. Essentially, Japanese holidays were determined based on agricultural harvests, and festivities were organized accordingly, aligning with these rituals. Well, during the Edo period, nearly 80% of the population engaged in agriculture, so it\'s somewhat natural. The same rule applies to New Year\'s festivities.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Originally, Japan\'s New Year was meant to welcome the deity called O-Toshigami, the god of agriculture, into our homes. This was a time to express gratitude for the abundant harvest of the past year while praying for a prosperous year ahead. Therefore, O-Toshigami would appear at sunrise and be invited into our homes. This is why we set up Kadomatsu, decorate with ornaments and Kagami-mochi. All of these decorations are put up to welcome O-Toshigami into our homes. The year-end cleaning is also done because gods won\'t visit unclean places, ensuring our homes are clean.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, in recent times, much of the original meaning has been forgotten. Nowadays, many people go for their first shrine visit (Hatsumode) on New Year\'s Day. But since O-Toshigami is supposed to be welcomed into our homes on that day, it\'s considered somewhat disrespectful to be absent. Therefore, traditionally, Hatsumode was supposed to be done on days other than New Year\'s Day. Most people might not be aware of this. This year, perhaps pay attention to these details and experience a more traditional Japanese New Year.\"</p>\r\n</div>\r\n','<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"../../images/library/Image/toujyou02.jpg\" style=\"width: 109px; height: 119px;\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

In recent years, there have been concerns about the global economic slowdown, and in Japan, a perpetual recession is often discussed. Some even fear that Japan might continue to decline, weakening its presence in the world. Is this going to be the case? I don\'t think so. That\'s because I understand the meaning of Japan\'s strength.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>How did Japan, without abundant resources, become one of the world\'s leading economic powers? While we often hear about technological prowess, ultimately, it comes down to \'people.\' The strength of human resources undoubtedly contributed to favorable results. However, if it is said that this is due to differences in abilities, the answer is no. This is because the basic performance of humans has not changed, and it is not academically valid to say that people in the past were more capable than those of today. The key difference lies in the consciousness of work. Surprisingly, this can be explained by the character \'働\' (hataraku), which means \'to work.\'</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This character \'働\' is actually a native Japanese character, a \'kokuji.\' In other words, it is an original kanji created in Japan. For the Japanese, \'to work\' means \'people moving.\' While the etymology is not certain, some say it depicts several people collaborating to move a large rock. In essence, in Japan, \'working\' means moving for the sake of others. This is precisely the strength of Japan, which has faced the world not as individuals but as organizations. This is the inherent consciousness of \'work\' for the Japanese.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In contrast, in Chinese, the character \'人\' (ren) meaning \'person\' is omitted, leaving only the character \'動\' (dong) meaning \'to move.\' There is no \'person\' in it. To move with one\'s own will. This single character illustrates the strength of a stand-alone play. Of course, this does not imply superiority or inferiority, but there was undoubtedly a strength unique to Japan. And Japan has proven that. Japan, in recent years, has tended to seek work more with the mindset of \'to move\' following a meritocracy trend. Self-realization, pursuing one\'s desired occupation, me, me, me. However, Japan\'s strength is not found in this approach. The meaning of the word \'person\' has somehow disappeared. But looking at the confusion in the world today, can we not consider that this stand-alone play is working in a negative direction? Doing what others wish before pursuing what you desire. The wisdom of our predecessors shows Japan\'s unique strength, and that\'s what I believe.\"</p>\r\n','<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"../../images/library/Image/toujyou02.jpg\" style=\"width: 109px; height: 119px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

We constantly absorb information from various sources and accumulate it in our minds. However, when we categorize this information as Japanese people, have we perhaps forgotten something beyond just having sufficient knowledge? In reality, we Japanese may not know ourselves as much as we think. This lack of self-awareness is not unrelated to the fact that Japanese individuals often struggle to demonstrate leadership in the international community. Why is this?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When we grasp the term \'international awareness\' in Japan, many might feel it implies proficiency in English or familiarity with international affairs. However, these are merely means and not the essence. The true essence lies in a mutual understanding of national identity. Unfortunately, many Japanese people are stamped with the label of being uncultured due to this misunderstanding. This is because culture and knowledge are entirely different things. To put it in simpler terms, culture is \'education,\' and it is the social background we naturally inherit. Not understanding this implies that the person may have grown without developing a social personality.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For example, have you ever thought about the founding period of Japan\'s National Foundation Day, the significance of celebrating the New Year, or the basis for the perceived ambiguity of Japanese people? All of these are related to Japan\'s unique concepts and Shinto. Currently, as I gather and share information about shrines nationwide, I aim to expand a community that learns about the importance of confronting these roots together. The Japan we live in is truly a wonderful country. Understanding its goodness not only nurtures an international sense but also allows us to experience joy as Japanese individuals. I believe that knowing such joy helps us maintain our authenticity in this flooded information society. Through this column, I hope to contribute to fostering a positive sensibility among all of you.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"(Operator of Jinjajin, Representative of Culturege Inc., Hidetoshi Tojo)\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?si=o46K_Jye_MknVTN6&amp;list=PL6mu43UnNThD4DZBlpHv7Lf7OgLwGZ6xD\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"460\"></iframe></p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://www.yokosojapan.net/images/library/Image/toujyou02.jpg\" style=\"width: 109px; height: 119px;\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Hidetoshi Tojo, born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture, is the Representative Director of Culturege Inc.

He manages the portal site \'Jinjajin,\' dedicated to shrines, and has walked to over 1000 shrines, creating a database with his own feet. With the support of like-minded individuals who share Tojo\'s vision, a database for over 80,000 shrines nationwide has been created, accumulating data from around 10,000 shrines. Tojo\'s humble personality attracts many supporters, leading to a quiet boom, particularly in his lectures.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shrines have played a significant role in various life milestones such as Hatsumode, Shosai, Shichi-Go-San, coming-of-age ceremonies, weddings, etc. Understanding the essence of these shrines and conveying it to others is one of the purposes of this book.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Given my frequent interactions with international students due to my work, I have always been interested in how to convey Japanese culture to them. Also, having initiated student interpreter volunteer activities based at Meiji Shrine, I find the attempt to introduce Japan using shrines very appropriate.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When volunteering to guide foreigners at Meiji Shrine, I noticed their consistent amazement at Japan\'s \'purification culture.\' Phrases like \'God doesn\'t appear in dirty places\' and \'The sun god is watching\' are key explanations of the Japanese culture.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Moreover, the origins of holidays like National Foundation Day and Labor Thanksgiving Day, and even cultural elements like sake and sumo, trace back to Shinto and shrines. Indeed, shrines embody the essence of Japanese culture.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shrines are found in every town, and even a common local shrine, with proper guidance, can become an impressive tourist spot full of \'Japanese wonders\' for foreigners. \'Shrine Tourism\' reminds us Japanese that \'ordinary Japan\' is our greatest cultural heritage, and it encourages readers to carry it in their bags, read it repeatedly, and turn it into living knowledge. I hope they share what they\'ve learned in various languages with their friends. Foreigners interested in Japan will listen to your stories with interest and respect your ability to articulate them eloquently. (Global Community Editor-in-Chief, Keimi Miyazaki)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Amidst the enduring trend of \'Power Spot Tours,\' this year marks the once-in-sixty-years relocation of Ise Grand Shrine and Izumo Taisha. Additionally, Mount Fuji, the sacred mountain of the Asama faith, has finally achieved its long-awaited recognition as a World Cultural Heritage site. Truly, 2013 can be called the \'Year of Shrines.\'</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, as Japanese people, are we perhaps too \'ignorant\' about our roots, namely shrines and Shinto? Why is being \'clean\' considered one of the national traits of the Japanese? Does the spirit of valuing \'public\' in Japanese culture stem from the influence of phrases like \'The sun is watching\'?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Moreover, is Shinto really a \'religion\'? Descendant of the 40th Prime Minister Tojo Hideki, the author, who manages the shrine portal site \'Jinjajin,\' reflects on the history built by predecessors and proposes a new form of \'Shrine Tourism,\' enjoying \'shrine visits through affiliation and blessings. He delves into the charm of Japan as a \'Cultural Nation.\'\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chapter 1: Japan\'s Common Sense, the World\'s Uncommon Sense</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chapter 2: Rules of Shrines</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chapter 3: Shinto and Animism</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chapter 4: \"Japan Original\" Gods</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chapter 5: Origins of Shrines <del>Ise and Izumo</del></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chapter 6: The Arrival of Buddhism and the Presence of Shinto</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chapter 7: Mystery Under the Name of \"Mythology\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/smVHslPYwPE?si=xzcc8Ap6kGE_hVlV\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"460\"></iframe></p>\r\n','<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

They shared insights into the backstage, their passion for English drama, and some suggestions for English education.</span></strong></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The English plays faced challenges as they were revived after a 15-year hiatus last year. Organizing everything from scratch was demanding, especially since the festival is primarily for freshmen and sophomores. Despite the initial difficulties, the involvement of exchange students helped create a diverse and vibrant atmosphere.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Matsuba, with experience in a drama club and writing papers on American theater plays, led the first and second-year students in scriptwriting and technical support.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">More and more international students are joining, and thanks to their personalities and the open atmosphere they bring, Japanese students are gradually becoming more comfortable expressing their personalities. Additionally, with the participation of returnees Japanese　who spent their childhood abroad, everyone has been able to enjoy activities in an international setting.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">While the English levels and educational backgrounds varied, surprisingly, it created a laid-back atmosphere that turned out well in the end.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">In regular classes where the majority are Japanese students, there tends to be a lot of hesitation and passivity. This can negatively impact language learning. However, when returnees Japanese and international students join, even Japanese students educated in Japan can feel free to express themselves without worrying too much about what others think.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">[unscaled2]</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The plays focused on themes like \"Socrates\" and \"Japan\'s future when English becomes the official language.\" Despite differences in language proficiency and educational backgrounds, the diverse group contributed to a lively and successful event.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">They noticed that the characteristics of language majors reflected in their respective language drama groups. For instance, the Chinese group exhibited strong coordination, while the Russian group had a strict hierarchy. In contrast, the English drama group was more laid-back, resulting in both enjoyment and some organizational challenges.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"color:#c0392b;\"><strong>Looking ahead, Matsuzaki, a third-year student, expressed plans to continue English drama activities beyond the Language Drama Festival. They aim to expand these activities during the university\'s \"Summer Festival\" at the Minoh Campus, fostering cultural exchanges with local communities.</strong></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The benefits of performing in foreign language play extend beyond enjoyment. The immersive experience allows participants to feel as if they are living in an English-speaking environment, providing a unique way to learn languages.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Matsuzaki encourages students not only to enjoy acting but also to explore the joy of writing scripts and creating stage productions. He believes expanding one\'s self-expression is essential for language learners.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">They want to create works inspired by popular aspects of Japanese culture and unique mythology, with a desire to portray Japan as a society originally tolerant of foreign cultures. Looking ahead, they aim to establish a foreign language drama group within or associated with the university.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><strong><span style=\"color:#2980b9;\">During their interview, the potential of foreign language drama expanded rapidly. Influenced by popular manga, there is a growing interest in Japanese culture and mythology even among people overseas. In the future, foreign language plays conveying Japanese culture may become more popular.</span></strong></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><strong><span style=\"color:#2980b9;\">I hope that the dreams of Matsuba and Matsuzaki come true, leading to the creation of a foreign language drama group originating from the Language Drama Festival. Additionally, Osaka University\'s Minoh Campus provides a unique environment with a shared library and an event space where citizens and students can interact.</span></strong></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"color:#2980b9;\"><strong>We hope that the Minoh Campus will become a hub for Osaka to communicate Japan to the world in foreign languages、welcoming the Osaka Kansai Expo in 2025.　</strong></span><strong><span style=\"color:#2980b9;\"> (GlobalCommunity, Editor-in-Chief, Kazumi Miyazaki)</span></strong></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/oufs_gogekisai\">https://www.instagram.com/oufs_gogekisai</a>　\"Foreign Language Drama Festival\" official　Instagram</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><a href=\"https://twitter.com/gogekisai\">https://twitter.com/gogekisai</a>　\"Foreign Language Drama Festival\" official Twitter</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/ou_english_drama2023\">https://www.instagram.com/ou_english_drama2023</a>　</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Osaka Univ.　\"Foreign Language Drama Festival（English Major） Official Instagram</span></p>\r\n','',2,1886,0,0,'2024-01-23 11:37:33',0,'<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/oufs_gogekisai\">https://www.instagram.c...</a>\n<a href=\"https://twitter.com/gogekisai\">https://twitter.com/gog...</a>\n<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/ou_english_drama2023\">https://www.instagram.c...</a>',0,1,1,'',0,0,'2024-01-23 13:00:31','html',1,0,'Enjoying English at Osaka University - Interview with Leaders of  \"Foreign Language Drama Festival','Enjoying English at Osaka University - Interview with Leaders of  \"Foreign Language Drama Festival',0,4,3,3,2,2,2,NULL,1);

This effort stems from the sincere desire to enhance the foundational cultural literacy of as many people as possible about being Japanese. Thanks to the positive responses from various regions, my lecture activities in local areas have steadily increased.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>During these activities, there was a somewhat different lecture last month. It was a seminar on Japanese culture targeting short-term exchange students learning Japanese who came from Hong Kong for a limited period of three weeks.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>While I\'ve spoken about Japan\'s cultural background to foreigners before, it was usually in the context of a minority among a larger audience of Japanese people. It was rare for all attendees to be foreigners, making it a unique experience for me. The language barrier and the uncertainty of how well foreigners would understand the emotionally charged image of the Japanese people were also factors I couldn\'t predict. However, when I actually conducted the seminar, the response was not only positive but more proactive than with Japanese audiences.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For instance, during the Q&A session after the lecture, there were usually few questions in a typical Japanese setting. However, these students were eager to ask questions, and they were sharp inquiries. Questions like, \"I heard you shouldn\'t walk in the middle of the approach to a shrine, why is that?\" or \"Is there a specific reason why torii gates are red?\" were asked. It was surprising to see how much they knew, but these are things many Japanese take for granted. Yet, if asked whether many of us know the meanings behind these seemingly obvious things, there might be some uncertainty. Questioning the seemingly obvious is crucial, and when explaining to them, I always start by breaking away from these assumed norms.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In reality, everything has a meaning. However, merely taking things for granted without questioning doesn\'t lead to a genuine understanding of the essence. Cultural exchange with people from foreign countries begins with recognizing the lack of understanding of one\'s own culture. We should, once again, question what the meanings of the things we take for granted are.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?si=o46K_Jye_MknVTN6&amp;list=PL6mu43UnNThD4DZBlpHv7Lf7OgLwGZ6xD\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"460\"></iframe>\r\n<style type=\"text/css\"><!--\r\nspan.DefaultParagraphFont\r\n	{font-family:ＭＳ 明朝;font-size:10.0pt;}\r\np\r\n	{line-height:100.0%;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;font-family:Century;mso-ascii-font-family:Century;mso-hansi-font-family:Century;mso-fareast-font-family:ＭＳ 明朝;font-size:12.0pt;}-->\r\n</style>\r\n</p>\r\n','<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"../../images/library/Image/toujyou02.jpg\" style=\"width: 109px; height: 119px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

However, how well do we truly understand the significance of this Bon Festival? Most people might associate it with Buddhist practices, such as ancestral memorial services and visiting graves.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Surprisingly, the concept of ancestral memorial services is not originally related to Buddhism. Buddhism, centered around the teachings of Buddha, focuses on enlightenment and the liberation from the cycle of reincarnation, rather than the practice of memorializing ancestors. So, how did the Bon Festival become associated with Buddhism in Japan?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The idea of ancestral memorial services originated from Shinto rituals known as \"sorei-sai,\" where ancestors are revered. Shinto, with its fundamental principle of \"keishin suuso\" (respecting both gods and ancestors), emphasizes the veneration of ancestors. While the term \"Bon\" is derived from the Buddhist \"Ullambana\" festival, initially, the focus was on Buddhist monks conducting rituals, not ancestral remembrance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>During the Edo period, the government implemented the danka system, requiring citizens to register with a temple to travel or secure employment. In this Buddhist-centric society, the government enforced the Buddhist-style practice of ancestral memorial services. Through this process, the Shinto practice of venerating ancestors and the Buddhist Ullambana festival merged, forming the present-day style of commemorating ancestors. Therefore, the concept of ancestral memorial services is a unique blend of Shinto and Buddhist elements that evolved independently in Japan. It\'s worth noting that this style of honoring ancestors is not universally practiced in all Buddhist countries.</p>\r\n\r\n<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" height=\"174\" src=\"https://www.yokosojapan.net/images/library/Image/toujyou02(2).jpg\" width=\"160\" /><br />\r\n </p>\r\n','<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

He notes that despite the positive responses to his book \"Proof of Japanese Identity,\" it highlights a clear decline in the country\'s cultural transmission.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tojo specifically mentions the interest shown by young leaders in his lectures, emphasizing their concern for the meaning and significance of education. Many of these individuals, positioned to inherit family businesses, lack a deep understanding of the essence and roles beyond the family name. This lack of understanding leads to uncertainty, especially when they assume parental roles, unsure of what values to pass on to the next generation.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He points out that third-generation leaders didn\'t directly witness the founder\'s work, making it challenging to grasp the original intentions and ideologies behind the business. Tojo draws a parallel with his own experience of inheriting the name \"Tojo\" without initially understanding its significance, which resulted in a vague sense of unease. However, his unique background and experiences, including overseas assignments, allowed him to find his identity and overcome this complex.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tojo highlights the critical issue of the diminishing number of successors in family businesses, recognizing its potential to cause serious societal problems. He encourages readers to pay attention to their surroundings and consider the importance of cultural inheritance. The column prompts reflection on the value of cultural transmission and the potential consequences of its decline in modern society.</p>\r\n','<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"../../images/library/Image/toujyou02.jpg\" style=\"width: 109px; height: 119px;\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

The database of shrines in Tokyo, managed by \'Jinjajin,\' which I plan and operate, is complete, totaling around 2,317 shrines. Even within the 23 wards, there are approximately 1,309 shrines, surprisingly more than you might think. However, many people aren\'t aware of this, right? So, on September 13th, a shrine guidebook I supervised was released by Magazine House. Its title is \'Shrines for Fulfilling the Whims of Adult Women\' (laughs), with a flashy pink cover.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This time, focusing on the Tokyo metropolitan area, we featured around 100 shrines from Tokyo and surrounding areas. Interestingly, there are surprisingly few shrine guidebooks that cover this many shrines. Despite the recent trend of Power Spot\'s popularity contributing to more shrine-related magazines and books, many of them feature well-known shrines, sometimes even including temples. So, there aren\'t many guidebooks that exclusively cover individual shrines. However, as I mentioned earlier, there are quite a number of shrines even within Tokyo alone. Of course, many of them are small with just a shrine building, but still, there are numerous shrines scattered throughout Japan. That\'s why I wanted to expose as many people as possible to a greater variety of shrines. Thus, I joined the planning of this book with that goal in mind.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Talking about the blessings one can receive at shrines, even from just this perspective, there are reasons behind each of those claims. Although the setup this time was quite detailed and somewhat challenging, just introducing cultural spots like this that are surprisingly close to us is quite meaningful. I believe it\'s a chance for everyone to touch upon an aspect of Japan they might not be familiar with. There may be a side of Japan you don\'t know about, and it could be found right here.\"</p>\r\n','<p><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?si=o46K_Jye_MknVTN6&amp;list=PL6mu43UnNThD4DZBlpHv7Lf7OgLwGZ6xD\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"460\"></iframe></p>\r\n\r\n<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://www.yokosojapan.net/images/library/Image/toujyou02.jpg\" style=\"width: 109px; height: 119px;\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

/>\r\nそのサムライ魂のお陰で、日本とドイツの絆は歴史に残ることにな<wbr />る。<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<br />\r\n明治維新は1868年。<br />\r\n日本は各藩の武士社会から、国を挙げての富国強兵の西洋式軍隊に<wbr />変貌し、1904年には世界最強国のロシア帝国を倒してしまうと<wbr />いう日露戦争に進む。<br />\r\nコロンブスの大航海時代以来、地球の至るところを植民地化してい<wbr />た白人を、極東の小国、それも有色人種が打ち負かした事実は、ト<wbr />ルコ独立など世界的に大きな影響を与えた。<br />\r\n日露戦争前年の1903年にはライト兄弟が有人機の初飛行に成功<wbr />している。<br />\r\nそれから10年後の1914年、第一次世界大戦が始まる。<br />\r\n飛行機も空からの攻撃に加わるほど進化している。<br />\r\nドイツを中心とするオーストリア・トルコ・ブルガリアの同盟国が<wbr />、イギリス・フランス・ロシア・イタリア・アメリカ・<wbr />日本の連合国を敵に戦った戦争である。<br />\r\nドイツは中国の青島（チンタオ）を植民地化してアジアの根拠地に<wbr />していた。<br />\r\n日本は連合国の一員として、敵国であるドイツ基地を攻略するべく<wbr />、中国へ3万人の軍隊を進めた。<br />\r\n本国からはるか遠い中国で孤軍奮闘のドイツ軍は、77日間であっ<wbr />けなく降伏した。　<br />\r\n森鴎外が１８８４年、北里柴三郎が１８８５年、瀧廉太郎が190<wbr />1年にと、多くの国費留学生がドイツに渡ったように、わが国の明<wbr />治の文明開化は、ドイツに学び、法律や医学などドイツ文化を真似<wbr />て追随したものが圧倒的に多かった。<br />\r\nそのわずか数年後に、ドイツを敵にして戦争をしなければならなか<wbr />ったのは、伊藤博文を始め、<wbr />夏目漱石などの英国留学が示すように、幕末の動乱に暗躍して坂本<wbr />龍馬に多大な援助をしたグラバーなど、地球上の1/<wbr />4を植民地化している強国、維新の原動力を提供した大英帝国と日<wbr />英同盟を結んでいたためだった。<br />\r\n<br />\r\n世界の一流国と肩を並べるには連合国の一員にならなければならな<wbr />かった事情があった。<br />\r\n<br />\r\n4715人ものドイツ兵を戦争捕虜としたが、そこからが大問題だ<wbr />った。<br />\r\n捕虜となって辱めを受ける前に「自決」するのが軍人、その日本的<wbr />な考え方があったため、まさかこれほど大量の捕虜を受け入れるこ<wbr />とになるとは誰も考えていなかった。<br />\r\n1899年に国際的に締結されていた「ハーグ陸戦条約」の捕虜規<wbr />定では、「俘虜ハ人道ヲ以テ取扱ハルヘシ」と、人道最優先となっ<wbr />ていた。<br />\r\n強制労働や虐待は国際相互協定で禁止されていたのだ。<br />\r\n後進国である日本を、白人国の欧米列強に「文明国である」と認め<wbr />させるためには、条約を紳士的に遵守して、武士道精神を国際的に<wbr />展開してみせるしかなかったから、10年前の日露戦争でも世界が<wbr />驚くほどロシア兵の捕虜を丁重に扱っていた経緯がある。<br />\r\n<br />\r\n4462名の捕虜（俘虜・ふりょ）たちは、貨物船で門司港に輸送<wbr />され、北海道を除く全国12か所の収容所に振り分けられた。<br />\r\n膨大な人数の捕虜は受入れ態勢が不十分なまま、お寺や公民館から<wbr />、急遽しつらえた粗末な仮設収容所に押し込められた。<br />\r\n仮設の環境は劣悪不潔で食料も乏しく、将校クラスも特別待遇を受<wbr />けることはなかった。<br />\r\n脱走兵や規律違反の捕虜に制裁を加えるのは各所長の判断であり、<wbr />身内を戦死させた敵兵への憎悪や体罰も、それなりにあったものと<wbr />想像される。<br />\r\nやがて、新しい6か所の収容所が準備出来次第、それぞれに分けて<wbr />各地へ移送された。<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<br />\r\n阿波踊り、渦潮と言えば、神戸から淡路島、そして四国へ渡る玄関<wbr />口の鳴門。<br />\r\n鳴門海峡に渦巻く世界最大の渦潮の形から、「鳴門巻」が生まれた<wbr />。<br />\r\n鳴門の撫養（むや）港に最も近いのが、お遍路88か所巡礼の一番<wbr />札所である高野山真言宗「霊山寺（りょうぜんじ）」。<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<a

/>\r\n絶望の状況で祖国愛に燃えながら最後まで勇戦敢闘した勇士たちで<wbr />ある。<br />\r\n彼らの愛国精神と勇気は敵の軍門に下ってもいささかも損壊される<wbr />ことはない。<br />\r\n彼らの名誉を重んじ、武士の情けを根幹とする対応をすべてに心掛<wbr />けよ。<br />\r\n理不尽に捕虜を犯罪者のように扱うことは固く禁じる！」　　<br />\r\n<br />\r\n人口500人の小さな坂東の田舎町に、1028人ものドイツ兵捕<wbr />虜が住み始めた。<br />\r\nそれは、1917年（大正6年）4月9日から始まり、1919年<wbr />6月28日に、ドイツが敗戦降伏して、ドイツ皇帝が亡命し、<wbr />ベルサイユ宮殿の鏡の間で「ベルサイユ講和条約」が締結されて、<wbr />その年のクリスマスにドイツ本国へ捕虜送還が始まるまで、2年1<wbr />0か月続いた。<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<br />\r\n戦争であるから、当然数千人の死傷者が出ている。<br />\r\n日本各地から徴兵されてドイツ軍と戦って戦死した家族を持つ遺族<wbr />は、その敵兵が捕虜となって我が国にやってくることにどのような<wbr />感情を抱いたか？　<br />\r\n初めて目にする白人たちに相当な敵愾心と怨念がぶつけられるもの<wbr />と想像に難くない。<br />\r\nところが、当時の写真や史料を調べて驚いた。<br />\r\n捕虜を乗せた列車が駅に到着すると、鳴門の皆さんは阿波踊りで迎<wbr />えているではないか！<br />\r\n若い娘たちはタレントに群がるようにハンカチを振りながら駆け寄<wbr />り、ドイツ兵たちはアコーディオンやハーモニカ、マンドリン演奏<wbr />と合唱で歓迎に応じている。<br />\r\nまだ大戦さなかの、敵と味方である。信じられない光景だ。<br />\r\n<br />\r\nなぜか？　<br />\r\n鳴門は、四国88か所お遍路巡りの、第一番札所「霊山寺（りょう<wbr />ぜんじ）」の地元。<br />\r\n空海・弘法大師は、すぐお隣の香川県善通寺の生まれ。<br />\r\n全国から訪れる四国一周の「歩き遍路」はここから始まる。<br />\r\nいつも空海さまと一緒に巡礼していますよと言う、「同行二人（ど<wbr />うぎょうににん）」と書き付けた笠をかぶって、1340kmも街<wbr />道を歩きぬく難行である。<br />\r\n歩きだけで達成できる人は40％と言われる。<br />\r\nその心の拠り所は、行く先々での地元民の「お接待」である。<br />\r\n行の巡礼を支援することで、私の願いの分まで代参に託して、宿を<wbr />提供して饗応することで仏恩を授かる、そのお接待は行であり功徳<wbr />であり、「今昔物語」にも記述されているように、古代から遺伝子<wbr />に刻まれている地元の伝統なのである。<br />\r\n遠い欧州で戦争中の一部として、中国の一地域にいるドイツ人と日<wbr />本が戦った、それを日本軍が打ち負かした。<br />\r\n日本人のネアカな鷹揚さは、捕虜となった彼らに憎しみどころか憐<wbr />れみと同情を誘い、憧れの先進的な西洋文化文明を持つドイツに親<wbr />しみを持って歓待したのであろうか。<br />\r\n戦争になっても、日本に滞在中のドイツ人は多くいた。<br />\r\n経済活動は禁じられていたが、ほぼ自由な日常生活を過ごしていた<wbr />。<br />\r\nその一般市民のドイツ人たちは、捕虜となった祖国の軍人たちに本<wbr />や酒、食料、それに楽器やお金なども頻繁に差し入れした。<br />\r\n几帳面なドイツ人たちは規律正しく朝6時30分起床で、コーヒー<wbr />とパンの朝食。<br />\r\n捕虜収容所とはいえ、中にはレストランや売店もある解放区、ボー<wbr />リング場や運動施設、酪農に農園、ウイスキー蒸留場まで作られた<wbr />。<br />\r\n祖国で徴兵されてきた兵隊は元々一般市民たちであるから、パン屋<wbr />、家具、時計、鍛冶職人、靴屋から建築家などあらゆる職人の多士<wbr />済々がいた。<br />\r\n所内の印刷所では、バラック小屋の語源にもなる、“Die Baracke（兵舎）”と言う新聞も発行されていた。<br />\r\nドイツ人たちの優れた技術や高度な作品は鳴門の地元民に紹介され<wbr />、販売もされた。<br />\r\n我が国も、文明開化の明治維新からまだ数十年しか経っていない発<wbr />展途上、目の前にいる本物のドイツ人たちの重厚な先進文化は喉か<wbr />ら手が出るほど欲しくて、<wbr />貴重で珍しい物ばかりだったはずである。<br />\r\n<br />\r\nドイツと言えば音楽の本場、音楽家も少なくはなかった。<br />\r\n収容所内では定期的にコンサートも開かれ、彼らは外出も許されて<wbr />日本人の子弟にバイオリンなどを教えた。<br />\r\n写真家・立木義浩の徳島の実家「立木写真館」もレッスン会場にな<wbr />っていたほどである。<br />\r\n<br />\r\nこれ幸いと積極的に接触を図り、文明文化の啓蒙と移入を推奨した<wbr />。<br />\r\n彼らの指導を受けたパン屋さんが、「<a

/>\r\n一般的に解釈される「捕虜収容所」の悲惨非業なイメージとは程遠<wbr />い、まさに文化交流センターだったのだろうと、現地を取材してい<wbr />て確信したものである。<br />\r\nただ、捕虜たちを海水浴に連れて行くなど、異例の待遇で寛大すぎ<wbr />ると、松江所長はたびたび軍の上層部に呼び出されて批判されてい<wbr />る。<br />\r\nそれに対して所長は反論している、「ここは収容所であって、刑務<wbr />所ではない」と。<br />\r\n<br />\r\n1917年4月9日に坂東俘虜収容所が開設されて2か月後。</p>\r\n\r\n<p><br />\r\n<strong>6月1日には、早くもドイツ兵たちがオーケストラを編成し、日本<wbr

/>\r\nオーケストラに必要な楽器で足りないバイオリンなどは、捕虜の楽<wbr />器職人が手作りした。<br />\r\nオーボエやファゴットなど調達できないものは、その音をオルガン<wbr />で代用し、大合唱に必要な女性部分は、男性捕虜だけで歌えるよう<wbr />に編曲した、とある。<br />\r\n本場の「第九」全楽章、フルオーケストラ演奏と、ドイツ語の腹の<wbr />底から湧き上がる神の声にも聞こえる高貴な大合唱が、<wbr />いにしえの霊場、第一番札所「霊山寺」のしじまに響き渡る・・・<br />\r\n鳴門の人々が感極まって感動と涙で聴き入っている様子が目に浮か<wbr />ぶ。</p>\r\n\r\n<p><br />\r\n6月1日の初演を記念して、今日でも6月第一日曜日には、600<wbr />人の大合唱と共に鳴門市文化会館ホール一杯に響き渡る「第九」<wbr />コンサートが毎年開催されている。<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<br />\r\nドイツ敗戦で6月28日にベルサイユ条約が締結され、祖国に帰国<wbr />できるという喜びの中、彼らは地元の皆に喜んでもらおうと労働を<wbr />続けて、7月27日には、<wbr />重厚なドイツ式の石積み橋を完成させた。<br />\r\n霊山寺の隣にある大麻比古神社の鬱蒼とした森の中に、高さ9.6<wbr />ｍの「ドイツ橋」は今も静かにたたずんでいる。　<br />\r\n1920年（大正9年）4月1日、『ムスター・ラーゲル』（模範<wbr />収容所）と呼ばれた日独文化交流センター！は、<br />\r\n2年10か月の舞台に幕を降ろした。<br />\r\n<br

This new venture aims to systematically engage in activities promoting liberal arts education, fostering individuals equipped with cultural knowledge to thrive in the global arena. The formation of this association comes after extensive consideration and planning, culminating in its formal inauguration in July.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The association\'s primary objective is to cultivate a broad understanding of liberal arts, empowering individuals to excel in the globalized world. Hidetoshi Tojo emphasizes that many people harbor misconceptions about going abroad, pointing out an example where the ability to wear traditional Japanese attire, the kimono, can serve as a simple and effective icebreaker, creating connections and opportunities.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tojo recounts a conversation with a company president who asked, \"What is the quickest way to make friends in the United States?\" While many might think of language proficiency or knowledge about the other person\'s culture, Tojo suggests that wearing a kimono can be a surprisingly powerful means of connecting with people. The association\'s diverse membership includes former CEOs of major multinational companies and various experts who have excelled both domestically and internationally, all emphasizing the importance of liberal arts education.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The discussion extends to the significance of having a strong cultural foundation, identity, and understanding of one\'s home country before embarking on international experiences. Without these fundamentals, individuals may risk losing their cultural identity and even rewrite their ways of thinking and behavior to align with the host country\'s cultural norms. This could be detrimental, especially when planning to return and work in one\'s home country, where familiarity with local customs, values, and market demands is essential for success.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In conclusion, the International Liberal Arts Promotion Association seeks to address these challenges, promoting the importance of cultivating a strong educational foundation and cultural understanding for individuals navigating the complexities of a globalized world.</p>\r\n','<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"../../images/library/Image/toujyou02.jpg\" style=\"width: 109px; height: 119px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

Despite being about a familiar topic, I learned many things for the first time, especially focusing on the theme of \"What Should the Japanese Be?\" Having discovered Eritoshi Tōjō through this global community, I was eagerly anticipating the insights he would share.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In his talk, he passionately emphasized the importance of having an identity as a fundamental step to understanding others in the international community. While listening, I reflected on the need to consider more about the things that concern me personally.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He stressed the significance of \"thinking more\" about everything, as satisfaction with the current worldview leads to being bound by preconceptions and halted thinking. Even something as familiar as a logo, when attempted to be drawn, may pose a challenge if not approached consciously. This lesson reminded me that awareness is crucial because what is not consciously acknowledged is effectively unseen.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In essence, it highlighted the importance of taking a keen interest in each aspect of life, reflecting on the \"why,\" and considering one\'s perspective. This, in turn, leads to self-discovery and the appreciation of identity.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The lecture motivated me to cultivate a habit of contemplating more deeply about everyday scenes, my identity as a Japanese, and various aspects of Japan. I aspire to develop this habit to confidently welcoming foreigners, proudly saying, \"Welcome to Japan, the world\'s oldest country.\" It was an enlightening talk that reminded me to actively seek the truth to pass on Japan\'s pride to future generations.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I truly enjoyed and benefited from this enriching experience.

Do you know what marks the foundation of Japan? Surprisingly, many people are not aware of this fact. When I ask this question in my lectures, emphasizing that \"Japanese people surprisingly don\'t know much about Japan,\" over 80% of the audience cannot answer. Even if they attempt an answer, it often relates to the Meiji era or post-war period, showing a misunderstanding. Indeed, a majority of Japanese are unfamiliar with the fundamental establishment of their nation. However, not knowing the foundation of one\'s country is considered unusual on a global scale.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>National Foundation Day in Japan, also known as Kigen Setsu, commemorates the enthronement of the first Emperor, Emperor Jimmu. In terms of the foundation year, this year marks the 2,671st year, making it the oldest continuous national foundation in the world. Denmark, the next oldest, has a history of about 1,100 years, followed by approximately 900 years for the United Kingdom. Some may point out the ancient history of China or Egypt, but this is not about the length of history; it specifically refers to the age of the national foundation. Japan\'s imperial system, with the Emperor as the national symbol and the unifying force, has been passed down through an imperial genealogy for 125 generations.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is like a living myth, and Japan\'s imperial system has garnered immense respect globally. The imperial family in Japan is highly esteemed by royal families and nations worldwide, and their value is recognized more outside Japan than by the Japanese themselves. Therefore, answering \"the world\'s oldest country\" when asked about Japan becomes a logically clear statement. Celebrating this historical continuity, Japanese people observe National Foundation Day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?si=o46K_Jye_MknVTN6&amp;list=PL6mu43UnNThD4DZBlpHv7Lf7OgLwGZ6xD\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"460\"></iframe></p>\r\n','<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"../../images/library/Image/toujyou02.jpg\" style=\"width: 109px; height: 119px;\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

As many have already experienced, even in such challenging circumstances, there has been international praise for the diligence of the Japanese people. Reports highlighted the considerate actions of a company employee turned evacuee who, despite exhaustion, sat on the stairs, making way for others. Ironically, the admirable qualities of the Japanese character were shared globally in this way. Nevertheless, it remains true that the Japanese possess a cooperative and resilient spirit, a fundamental strength inherent in their nature.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Historically, Japan has been an agrarian society, evident from the fact that around 80% of the population were farmers until the Edo period. This influence is still visible in our daily lives. For example, Japanese holidays such as the Vernal Equinox Day, Autumnal Equinox Day, New Year\'s Day, Children\'s Day, and Labor Thanksgiving Day all have origins in Shinto rituals celebrating abundant harvests. In Japan, holidays are referred to as \"shukujitsu\" or festival days, emphasizing their connection to religious observances. Even Respect for the Aged Day, by aligning with the agricultural off-season, signifies a time to seek the wisdom of the elderly. The Japanese way of life is deeply rooted in agriculture, combined with the ancient religious concepts of Shinto, giving rise to the distinct qualities of the Japanese character.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This combination of Shinto spirituality and agriculture is the foundation of Japan\'s unique traits, including cooperation and perseverance. It is not only about Shinto or agriculture individually; it is the synergy of both that defines the functional aspect of these traits. This is not easily replicated, as observed in many developing nations that, despite engaging in primary industries like agriculture, exhibit different national characteristics than Japan.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the face of the recent disaster, there have been numerous victims. Yet, by invoking the robust spirit of the Japanese people, there is a certainty of recovery. Japan stands as a nation with a unique blend of cooperative spirit and enduring patience.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/ixN-9Fyc-Jg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"430\"></iframe></p>\r\n','<p><img alt=\"\" height=\"174\" src=\"https://www.yokosojapan.net/images/library/Image/toujyou02(1).jpg\" width=\"160\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

The birth of the word \"Mottainai\" in the West can be traced back to the absence of such a concept.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In ancient times, there was a surname in Japan, \"Motai,\" which originally meant a vessel for holding sake. Over time, those who specialized in making these vessels came to be called \"Motai.\" Sake, then and now, is a precious offering to the gods, and the vessels used for sake are indispensable. The shortage of sake vessels was considered disrespectful and improper toward the gods, giving rise to the idea that \"having no sake vessel (Motainai) is disrespectful to the gods.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>While the authenticity of this origin is uncertain, Shinto, the indigenous spirituality of Japan, held the belief in reverence for divine spirits in all things (the concept of Yorishiro). In ancient times, many Japanese felt a sense of awe for all aspects of the natural world. This underlying philosophy has had a significant influence on the concept of \"Mottainai.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Though it is sometimes written as \"勿体ない,\" using the Japanese kanji characters, the exact meaning of \"勿体\" conveys a sense of weightiness or dignity, indicating something inappropriate for oneself. While this use slightly deviates from the original meaning of \"Mottainai,\" it reflects the Japanese inclination to respect others and be aware of one\'s own position. Japanese people, through expressions like \"Mottainai,\" convey a unique perspective that respects others and their surroundings on a global scale.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><br />\r\n </p>\r\n\r\n<p><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?si=o46K_Jye_MknVTN6&amp;list=PL6mu43UnNThD4DZBlpHv7Lf7OgLwGZ6xD\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"460\"></iframe></p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" height=\"174\" src=\"https://www.yokosojapan.net/images/library/Image/toujyou02(2).jpg\" width=\"160\" /><br />\r\n </p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

In the Old Testament, Adam and Eve faced punishment in the form of \"work\" for men and \"pain in childbirth\" for women, following their consumption of the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. This implies that labor is considered a punishment from God. In contrast, even the supreme deity in Japanese mythology, Amaterasu Omikami, engages in agricultural activities such as farming rice paddies and supervising weaving, suggesting that labor is a divine blessing rather than a punishment.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Modern management studies are increasingly aligning with the Japanese mythological perspective, emphasizing work as a source of social contribution, fulfillment, and connection, in contrast to the traditional focus on career advancement and financial gain. This shift towards valuing human aspects aligns more closely with Japanese mythology than with biblical narratives. The recognition of labor as a divine blessing in Japanese culture fosters a more positive outlook on work, enhancing enthusiasm and commitment.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Regarding the concept of \"birth pains,\" it may seem discordant to Japanese sensibilities. Japanese mythology emphasizes the sacredness of reproduction and the inheritance of life, contrasting with the punitive view presented in the Old Testament. Understanding this aspect of Japanese mythology may offer insights into addressing issues such as declining birth rates, potentially revitalizing Japan\'s vitality.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Overall, Japanese mythology provides rich wisdom on labor, marriage, and nature, offering valuable insights for navigating contemporary challenges. Embracing these teachings could not only contribute to global solutions but also rejuvenate Japan\'s prospects.</p>\r\n\r\n<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p>-----------</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>\"What \'Avatar\'s\' Huge Success Means\"</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The view that our country\'s land is a \"land of divine life\" born from the marriage of Izanagi and Izanami is absent in the Old Testament. Both humans and this land were born through the inheritance of divine life, akin to siblings. This mythological perception of the land as sacred has shaped the Japanese people\'s view of nature.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the 3D masterpiece film \"Avatar,\" set on a lush planet, towering extraterrestrial beings worship a sacred giant tree, reminiscent of the world in Japanese mythology. Those who destroyed this tree with advanced weaponry represent the model of modern material civilization.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When the movie became a sensation in America, cases of \"Avatar syndrome\" emerged. After experiencing the immersive harmony with nature in the lush 3D world, viewers returned to the sterile urban environment feeling depressed. However, Japanese people are less susceptible to this syndrome, with nearly 70% of our land covered in forests and shrines with protective woods scattered throughout cities.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The massive success of \"Avatar\" signifies the growing acceptance of a worldview that emphasizes the connection between land and life, even in Western societies. This concept, taught by Japanese mythology for millennia, likely contributes to Japan\'s status as a leader in environmental technology, passed down through generations via a deep-rooted reverence for the land.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>By delving into Japanese mythology and consciously inheriting its view of nature, Japan can lead global environmental conservation efforts, bringing renewed vitality to our nation.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In conclusion, Japanese mythology offers wisdom that can guide the modern world in matters of labor, marriage, and nature. Viewing polytheistic beliefs like Japanese mythology as primitive and considering only Christianity as modern is outdated. Japan\'s mythology provides rich clues for solving various contemporary issues. If Japanese people revisit the \"Kojiki\" and \"Nihon Shoki\" to offer Japan\'s unique solutions to global problems, it will not only be a significant contribution to the world but also bring vigor to Japan\'s future.

In most parts of the world, languages are represented by a single set of characters. However, Japanese people uniquely utilize three types of characters: hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Some might argue for the inclusion of romaji and numbers, making it five!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yet, the significance lies not merely in the number of characters used. Japanese people simultaneously employ two distinct types of characters: hiragana representing phonetics and kanji representing meanings. Kanji characters encapsulate imagery and meaning within each symbol. For example, the character \"我\" (ware) seemingly denotes oneself, but its true meaning runs deeper. Comprising a serrated blade reminiscent of a saw and a spear, it signifies both a powerful weapon and a dangerous entity. Thus, using \"我を出す\" (bring out oneself) implies self-assertion, while \"我を捨てる\" (discard oneself) conveys the inherent danger of \"我\" (ware).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In contrast, phonetic characters represent sounds without intrinsic meanings. They serve as a straightforward way to convey pronunciation. The flexibility and adaptability of the Japanese language stem from the simultaneous use of these two character types. While some argue that ideographic characters may hinder computational imaginative thinking in scientific contexts, the Japanese people exhibit a flexible and adaptable mindset in utilizing both types of characters. This linguistic versatility might provide additional evidence for the adaptability of the Japanese people on a broader scale.</p>\r\n','<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"../../images/library/Image/toujyou02.jpg\" style=\"width: 109px; height: 119px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

For instance, regarding our daily work, there\'s a striking difference in perspective between the Old Testament and Japanese mythology. In the Old Testament, Adam and Eve, who previously lived leisurely in paradise, ate the \"fruit of knowledge of good and evil,\" leading to the \"original sin.\" As punishment, men were condemned to \"work\" and women to \"painful childbirth,\" implying that work is a punishment from God. Consequently, workers dream of quickly saving money and retiring to live a carefree life, perhaps lounging on a beach in paradise.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the other hand, in Japanese culture, even the supreme deity, Amaterasu Omikami, is depicted as engaging in agriculture by owning rice paddies in Takamagahara and supervising women in the sacred weaving hall to weave textiles. Essentially, even the highest deity, Amaterasu Omikami, was involved in \"work.\" According to a passage in the Nihon Shoki, during the descent of the heavenly grandson, it is said that \"Amaterasu Omikami bestowed the rice she had cultivated in the heavens upon the earth,\" suggesting that Japanese agriculture originates from the rice of the heavenly world. Thus, for Japanese people, work is not a punishment from the gods but rather a blessing bestowed upon them by the gods. In Japan, it\'s common for the Emperor, as a symbol of national unity, to participate in activities like rice planting and harvesting every year. Most people wouldn\'t find this embarrassing; instead, they would feel grateful. For Japanese people, work is a source of joy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>【Modern management theories aligning with Japanese mythological views on work】</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Which perspective do you think is more uplifting while doing the same job: feeling punished or feeling blessed? In an aging society where octogenarians are often healthy, would it be better to retire and live a paradise-like life for 20 years after retirement, or would it be better to contribute to society using your experiences and skills? In modern management studies, there\'s a growing trend towards ensuring that employees find social contribution, meaning, and connections in their work, aiming to achieve both employee satisfaction and company performance. This emphasis on human values aligns more closely with Japanese mythological views on work than with the Old Testament. In other countries, there are still many people who only seek career advancement and money in their jobs. Although Japanese people might feel a sense of discomfort in such a world, they often adapt to it and live accordingly, naturally feeling less energized. Therefore, by reading the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki and understanding that work is considered a blessing from the gods within Japanese culture, people might find more enthusiasm even in the same job and may strive to steer their workplaces in that direction. The vitality inspired by mythology is precisely this.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>【\"Painful childbirth\" or the sacredness of life\'s continuation?】</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The concept of \"painful childbirth\" as a punishment for women in the Old Testament might cause considerable discomfort for Japanese people. The Japanese archipelago where Japanese people reside is not merely a land allowed for habitation by a covenant with God; rather, it\'s considered a land where the lives of gods dwell, born from the union of the male and female gods, Izanagi and Izanami. Hence, reproduction itself is considered an act of the gods, implying it\'s a blessed act rather than a punishment. Nevertheless, both work and reproduction are indispensable for sustaining human life. The difference between seeing both as \"God\'s punishment\" and as \"God\'s work\" is immensely significant.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The assertion made by some in the women\'s liberation movement about the \"right not to bear children\" might also stem from the unconscious adoption of the Old Testament\'s view of \"painful childbirth\" as divine punishment.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In Japanese mythology, the emphasis is on the continuation of life through marriage. For example, the grandson of Amaterasu Omikami, named Ninigi, descended to this land and married the daughter of the mountain god, giving birth to the child, Hoori no Mikoto (also known as Yamasachihiko), who then married the daughter of the sea god. Their offspring eventually became Emperor Jimmu. Therefore, through reproduction, the lives of the heavens, mountains, and seas flow into the Imperial Family and are inherited by the general populace. The painful childbirth experienced by women is a noble duty associated with the inheritance of life. The elevated status of women in Japan likely stems from the sacredness of life\'s continuation taught by Japanese mythology. If contemporary Japanese people better understand this through mythology, they might reverse the trend of declining birth rates. It could become a new source of vitality for Japan.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>【The significance of the blockbuster movie \"Avatar\"】</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The concept that our country\'s land is the result of the marriage between Izanagi and Izanami, creating a land where \"divine lives reside,\" is unique and absent in the Old Testament. Both humans and this land are born from the continuation of divine lives, akin to siblings sharing the same blood. This understanding of the land as sacred, rooted in mythology, shapes the Japanese view of nature.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The masterpiece 3D film \"Avatar\" depicts a lush green planet where tall alien beings connect with and worship sacred trees. It\'s very much akin to the world of Japanese mythology. Those who, after witnessing the vivid symbiosis with nature in that three-dimensional world, return to the sterile urban life of America might experience depression, termed \"Avatar syndrome.\" However, Japanese people are unlikely to experience \"Avatar syndrome.\" Nearly 70% of our country is covered in forests, and even in large cities, there are Shinto shrines with sacred groves scattered throughout.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The immense success of \"Avatar\" indicates that the concept of connection between land and life is finally gaining ground in Western societies. This insight has been taught by Japanese mythology for thousands of years. Japan\'s advanced environmental technology might also stem from the sense of sanctity that people have long inherited through our history and traditions, viewing the land as sacred.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>By delving into Japanese mythology and consciously inheriting its view of nature, our country could lead the world in environmental protection. This could bring new vigor to Japan.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>【The revitalization brought by the \"Kojiki\"】</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As we\'ve seen, Japanese mythology holds rich wisdom in views on work, marriage, and nature that can guide the 21st-century world. Regarding polytheistic religions like Japanese mythology as primitive, and considering only Christianity as a modern religion, is a 19th-century mindset.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Japanese mythology offers abundant hints for resolving various contemporary global issues. If Japanese people relearn the \"Kojiki\" and \"Nihon Shoki\" and derive unique Japanese answers to global problems from them, it would be a significant contribution to the world and would bring vitality to Japan\'s future.

Often, what many consider \"understanding\" actually ends up being mere \"recognition.\" \"理解\" literally means \"to comprehend the reason,\" and it\'s used when one truly understands the essential mechanisms. On the other hand, \"認知\" means \"to acknowledge its existence\" and is used when something is recognized on a surface level. Even in such ways of perceiving things, the meaning differs significantly.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I had a similar experience during a conversation with the secretary of the NPO Bushido Association. When people hear \"Bushido,\" they often immediately associate it with the image of \"fighting.\" However, when you ask about the essence of \"Bushido,\" the answer is \"武\" (bu), which originally means \"to stop\" the weapon \"戈\" (hoko). In other words, it\'s about controlling the opponent without drawing the sword, revealing the mindset of moral thinking. It\'s surprising for many, as it goes beyond the expected association of combat.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Similarly, when asking about \"Shinto,\" people often simplify it as a \"religion.\" While Shinto does have the legal status of a religious organization, the word \"religion\" doesn\'t capture its essence accurately. \"Religion\" translates to \"尊い教え\" (precious teachings), but Shinto lacks specific scriptures or teachings. So, it doesn\'t quite fit the definition. Shinto, despite being legally categorized as a religious organization, doesn\'t conform entirely to the conventional understanding of \"religion.\" These examples show that the essence of things can be unexpectedly profound. It\'s a matter of whether our consciousness reaches that depth. Have you truly understood these concepts, or have you merely recognized them?</p>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n\r\n<div> <img alt=\"\" src=\"https://www.yokosojapan.net/images/library/Image/世界最古の国.JPG\" style=\"width: 184px; height: 136px;\" /></div>\r\n\r\n<div> </div>\r\n\r\n<div><a href=\"http://www.odoroku.tv/knowledge/jp/\">インターネット番組、「世界最古の国、日本！！」</a></div>\r\n \r\n\r\n<div> インターネット番組、「世界最古の国、日本！！」とは『あっとおどろく放送局』というインターネット放送局の番組で、東條英利さんもパーソナリティーを勤めています。古事記編さん 1300 年が話題となっている昨今、世界に誇れる日本の歴史・文化・伝統・ものづくりなどを話題に、 6 人の賢者と各分野の専門家をゲストに迎え、「実はこうだった」「実はこうなっている」「実はこう変わる」などの目からうろこな真実に踏み込んでいきます。</div>\r\n\r\n<div> </div>\r\n\r\n<div> </div>\r\n\r\n<div> </div>\r\n</div>\r\n','<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"../../images/library/Image/toujyou02.jpg\" style=\"width: 109px; height: 119px;\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

Ah, yes, around this time in February, the book \"Basics of Shinto Shrines\" (published by Ei Publishing) supervised by me should start appearing on the shelves of Seven-Eleven? Well, if everything goes according to schedule. Anyway, hoping that it has been successfully published, this time I would like to talk a bit about Shinto shrines, or rather, the wisdom of our predecessors.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As is well known, I operate the information site \"Shrine People,\" where I collect nationwide shrine information and work on its systematization. However, it\'s not because I have some spiritual sensitivity. Rather, I am a realist, and seemingly, I have a thinking style that appears contradictory to such themes. So why am I actively studying shrines? It\'s because I believe there is a universal wisdom in the unique national temperament of the Japanese that can be scientifically understood.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For example, ancient Japanese believed that gods descended to sharp places, and the motif for this is said to be lightning. Of course, today everyone knows this, but it was the same for ancient Japanese. However, modern people might think, \"Oh, if they saw that light and heard that roar, without knowing science, they probably thought the gods were angry.\" But what\'s really important is that the land where lightning struck becomes fertile for the five grains.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is actually scientifically proven, and it is even said that the harvest of mushrooms on land where lightning has struck doubles. So, the ancient Japanese knew everything. That\'s why they held both fear and gratitude towards lightning, expressed thanks as gods, said \"thunder\" means \"the god is roaring,\" wrote \"thunder\" as \"rain\" and \"rice field,\" and wrote \"lightning\" as \"the wife (spouse) of rice.\" In a way, it was a very rational way of thinking. However, we modern people, perhaps out of arrogance, tend to overestimate science and technology, and have a dislike for the past. But our ancestors, not knowing science, with high sensitivity, could understand the essence.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shrines are truly a cultural symbol woven with the wisdom of our predecessors. Perhaps there is a universal truth that even we modern people cannot reach, scattered everywhere there. Don\'t just think of shrines as mere religious facilities. Awareness is constantly present, right next to us.</p>\r\n','<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"../../images/library/Image/toujyou02.jpg\" style=\"width: 109px; height: 119px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

This comes about a year and a half after my debut work \'Proof of the Japanese\' (Gakken). If the previous book was a culmination of my 40 years of life, this time, it represents about four and a half years from the inception of my shrine-focused portal site \'Jinjajin\' until now. While both explore our roots, this time, I directly focus on \'Shrines and Shinto,\' discussing the charm and uniqueness of Japan.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Some may shy away thinking, \'Shrines and Shinto, isn\'t that a religion?\' It\'s not that simple. For instance, if you ask someone what the teachings or scriptures of Shinto are, you might not get a clear answer. That\'s because Shinto fundamentally lacks the teachings required for a religion.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Supporting this notion, a significant attempt is being made in Europe next spring. A genuine shrine is being established in the Republic of San Marino, a purely Christian country. This is remarkable and stems from the idea that Shrines and Shinto are not a religion but a lifestyle.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>While such recognition is progressing globally, there\'s still a lack of accurate understanding domestically. As mentioned earlier, the quest for the label \'religion\' is part of the problem. However, even if we take the word \'religion,\' it has an unexpected background. The term was introduced in the modern era post-Meiji Restoration. Originally, there was no such word. So, why did such expressions become prevalent domestically? It\'s because the word \'Religion\' was imported. Yes, it was introduced with the presence of foreign religions. Therefore, understanding that Shrines and Shinto do not conform to these concepts can be roughly understood by considering this historical transition alone.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With no specific gods or teachings, the simplicity of Japanese Shinto is deeply connected to the unique spiritual culture of the Japanese people. In that sense, this book is by no means religious. It is an educational book to understand the origins of our culture and a guidebook to thoroughly enjoy the country we were born and raised in. That\'s what I believe. I hope young students especially get to know this world of unknown charm.\"</p>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n','<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"../../images/library/Image/toujyou02.jpg\" style=\"width: 109px; height: 119px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

This event occurs approximately every 20 years, symbolizing renewal and cyclical life patterns. Similarly, Izumo Grand Shrine is undergoing the \"Honden Senza-sai\" or the \"Main Hall Relocation Ceremony,\" also known as the \"Great Shikinen Sengu,\" after a hiatus of 60 years. Notably, both shrines are experiencing Shikinen Sengu in the same year, a historical first.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The reasons for conducting Shikinen Sengu are not entirely clear, but one common understanding is to preserve and pass down shrine construction techniques and traditions. With the diminishing demand for shrine carpenters, this practice helps ensure the continuity of these skills.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For the Ise Grand Shrine, there are various theories, including intentionally lowering the lifespan of the main shrine to maintain its freshness. The shrine\'s unique construction without using foundation stones for pillars is cited as a deliberate strategy to reduce its longevity.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Other explanations involve the influence of the \"Sangen Kuyō\" (Three Elements and Nine Divisions) calendar, which calculates energy flows. Some theories suggest that imposing the burden of Shikinen Sengu on devotees helps anchor their faith and elevates their consciousness. Despite the seemingly dubious psychological aspects, it is undeniable that Shikinen Sengu involves substantial financial investment. The budget for Ise Grand Shrine\'s Shikinen Sengu is estimated to exceed 55 billion yen, considering the entire shrine complex.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Shikinen Sengu at Ise Grand Shrine is scheduled for October 2nd. If you have the opportunity, consider visiting both shrines this year. It might provide insights into something deeply valued by a Japanese individual.</p>\r\n','<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"../../images/library/Image/toujyou02.jpg\" style=\"width: 109px; height: 119px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

Tanzawa\'s special skill is playing the Japanese taiko drums. Thus, the main objective of this project is to reinvigorate the spirit of herbivore men through the art of taiko drumming.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Traditionally, the Japanese had a concept of \"Kegare\" and \"Hare.\" Kegare, written as \"気枯れ,\" is similar to the modern term \"stress.\" On the other hand, Hare, as seen in expressions like \"celebration attire,\" \"celebratory appearance,\" or \"celebratory stage,\" is associated with special occasions and events. In essence, we accumulate stress (Kegare) in our daily lives. Therefore, it\'s crucial to introduce moments of celebration (Hare) to serve as accents, resetting the accumulated stress. Japan has numerous annual events, and this inclination towards eventfulness is said to be influenced by this cultural sensibility.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Recently, however, many young people aren\'t going to karaoke, driving, or even going on dates. They are not engaging in activities that allow them to release the stress built up in their daily lives. Surveys even suggest that home has become the top spot for dates. With stress piling up, the taiko drum makes its appearance. Percussion instruments, including taiko drums, directly resonate with the primal instincts inherent in human beings, from African music to the profound spirituality in Japanese traditions. Through the release of this energy, we aim to blow away the herbivore spirit. We are currently recruiting members, so if you\'re interested, please get in touch. It\'s open to women as well. Interestingly, it seems that foreigners are more interested in joining than Japanese individuals.</p>\r\n\r\n<div> <img alt=\"\" src=\"https://www.yokosojapan.net/images/library/Image/世界最古の国.JPG\" style=\"width: 184px; height: 136px;\" /></div>\r\n\r\n<div> </div>\r\n\r\n<div> </div>\r\n\r\n<div> </div>\r\n\r\n<div> </div>\r\n\r\n<div> </div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n','<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"../../images/library/Image/toujyou02.jpg\" style=\"width: 109px; height: 119px;\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>（Shrine Person Operator, Representative of Culture J, Ltd., Hidetoshi Tojo）</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hidetoshi Tojo was born in 1972 in Saitama Prefecture and is the representative director of Culture J, Ltd.

Japan has much to offer the world in terms of disaster preparedness and a philosophy of loving peace.<br />\r\nAlthough Expos last for six months, they also serve as platforms for Japan to showcase its regional uniqueness and long history. Japan, a rare advanced nation where various festivals have been cherished locally from ancient times, will host over 3,000 festivals at the Osaka-Kansai Expo, offering foreigners the opportunity to experience Japan\'s diverse festivals and parades.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><br />\r\n<span style=\"color:#c0392b;\"><strong>Are there events and exhibitions involving university students and exchange students?</strong></span><br />\r\n </p>\r\n\r\n<p><font color=\"#c0392b\"><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><b>[unscaled6]</b></span></font></p>\r\n\r\n<p>「EXPO 2025 Design System」</p>\r\n\r\n<p><font color=\"#c0392b\"><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><b>[unscaled7]</b></span></font></p>\r\n\r\n<p> Universities like Osaka University are engaging in new initiatives to connect with people overseas through music.

Various events and presentations involving students have been held, indicating active involvement in the Expo.<br />\r\nFamous musicians participated in events held a year before the Expo, which saw enthusiastic participation from many university students. During the Expo, there will be seven stages hosting anime events, live performances by internationally renowned musicians promoting peace, and more.<br />\r\nSpecific participants and festivals will be increasingly introduced through various media. Former president of Yoshimoto Kogyo is in charge of official festival events during the Expo, introducing future \"comedy\" and \"entertainment\" using VR, among other innovations. The Expo will also provide a rare opportunity for visitors to experience various festivals and live performances from different regions of Japan, gathering many foreign tourists.<br />\r\nAdditionally, utilizing the latest communication technologies by companies like NTT, the communication environment within the venue will greatly improve. Advanced simultaneous translation technology will facilitate communication among people from different countries.<br />\r\nConcerns about Japan\'s summer heat are noted, but the Expo\'s operating hours until 22:00 and the cooler evening events should mitigate this. The 30-meter-wide Ring structure might provide shade, and the venue\'s proximity to the sea breeze at Nanko should offer relatively comfortable weather.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><br />\r\n<span style=\"color:#c0392b;\"><strong>While the 1970 Expo left behind the iconic \"Tower of the Sun,\" is there something similar planned for this Expo?</strong></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p> </p>\r\n\r\n<p><font color=\"#c0392b\"><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><b>[unscaled8]</b></span></font><br />\r\n <br />\r\n<iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Dml1ojUYHtY?si=W8gFnUh0tKNeiJQm\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"460\"></iframe></p>\r\n\r\n<p><br />\r\nI believe the world\'s largest wooden structure, the \"Ring,\" serves as its counterpart. Inspired by Kiyomizu Temple, the Ring spans 30 meters in width and 2 kilometers in circumference. Inside the Ring, exhibitions and events imagining the importance of \"life\" as a world　community will take place, featuring international pavilions.<br />\r\nThe Ring, reminiscent of a massive fortress, will offer various shops, exhibitions, events, workshops, and events on the corridor above. Discussions are ongoing about the post-Expo use of the world\'s largest wooden structure, the Ring, including its usage and integration with adjacent IR facilities, potentially providing a place for people worldwide to relax and connect.<br />\r\nThe 1970 Expo left a significant impact on our future.

Inquiries from foreigners visiting Japan for business or vacation have surged, and three foreign staff members handle these inquiries in multiple languages.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The company offers various land use services such as storage rooms, monthly apartments, coin parking, and renovations, aiming to become real estate experts. Foreign staff members are also working towards obtaining difficult real estate qualifications.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>[unscaled1]</p>\r\n\r\n<p>City Housing Co., Ltd. focuses on hiring and training foreign staff and sharing housing information for foreigners worldwide through them. <a href=\"https://citymonthly.jp/company/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_new\">City Housing Co., Ltd.</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>We interviewed Mr.Sato CEO of City Housing Co., Ltd</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And heard about the efforts toward the SDGs in a Zoom meeting.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>[unscaled2]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>SDG\'s 10: Reduced Inequalities</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>[unscaled3]</p>\r\n\r\n<p>City Housing Co., Ltd. engages in diverse real estate businesses. Primarily, in the monthly apartment division, they accommodate many foreigners visiting Japan for business. Staff who speak foreign languages provide careful support to those unfamiliar with Japanese customs. The foreign staff, who initially struggled themselves, can leverage their experiences to assist others, ensuring a comfortable environment for newcomers.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>SDG\'s 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>[unscaled4]</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rather than building new structures, the company focuses on renovating or rebuilding old apartments to propose energy-efficient living. They also repurpose unsuitable living areas into storage spaces like container houses. Efficient land use is crucial, especially in central Tokyo.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>SDG\'s 17: Partnerships for the Goals</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>[unscaled5]</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many overseas customers contact the company in foreign languages after viewing their real estate information. Property tours are conducted via video without the need for physical visits. Meetings that used to be held company-wide are now conducted via teleconference, allowing real-time communication between distant locations. As the number of multilingual employees grows, the company can hold meetings with overseas businesses.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This year, they conducted an on-site inspection in Indonesia and plan to visit Vietnam next. They aim to expand their network with foreigners coming to Japan. Participating in the TEAMEXPO Co-Creation Challenge is part of this effort, hoping to expand their network internationally through this project.</p>\r\n\r\n<p> </p>\r\n','',2,1179,0,0,'2024-08-03 19:11:32',0,'<a href=\"https://www.yokosojapan.net/article.php/20240802city_housing_ja\">日本語ページ</a>\n<a href=\"https://citymonthly.jp/company/\">City Housing Co., Ltd.</a>',0,1,1,'',0,0,'2024-08-02 21:32:55','html',1,0,'A Comfortable Living for Everyone\' Osaka, Tokyo, Japan Project\r\n','A Comfortable Living for Everyone\' Osaka, Tokyo, Japan Project\r\n',0,4,3,3,2,2,2,NULL,1);

However, through community contributions and engagement, there has been a significant shift in local attitudes. What were once complaints have transformed into expressions of support, with locals now saying \"We want to help!\" This change indicates a positive trend in breaking down the psychological barriers faced by international students.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The transition from being viewed as a nuisance to becoming valued community members highlights how active community involvement can foster mutual understanding and acceptance. Ehle Academy\'s long-term strategy of encouraging students to contribute to the local community has played a crucial role in this transformation, demonstrating the power of cultural exchange and community service in overcoming prejudices and building positive relationships.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>[unscaled7]</p>\r\n\r\n<p>[unscaled8]</p>\r\n\r\n<p>[unscaled9]</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Revitalizing Local Traditions and Economy</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>International students now play a significant role in revitalizing local festivals where Japanese participation has declined.</p>\r\n\r\n<p> The Minami area of Osaka is popular among foreign tourists for its authentic atmosphere. President Hasegawa envisioned a progression from tourism to studying, working, and eventually settling in Japan, which could help counter population decline.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In addition to its long-standing activities in the Namba area, Ehle Academy has opened a new advanced information technology school in the Shin-Imamiya area, just a 15-minute walk from Namba. This new school, which started in April, already has a capacity of 680 students.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>President Hasegawa expressed enthusiasm about future collaborations with the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry\'s \"Greater Minami Revitalization\" project. By aligning with initiatives to create hubs for foreign entrepreneurs, Ehle Academy aims to contribute further to the local economy\'s revitalization</p>\r\n\r\n<p><br />\r\n<span style=\"color:#2980b9;\">Ehle Academy\'s long-standing efforts to integrate international students into the local community have yielded remarkable results:</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span style=\"color:#2980b9;\">From Outsiders to Valued Community Members</span></h2>\r\n<span style=\"color:#2980b9;\">Once seen as outsiders due to their different lifestyles, international students have gained trust through years of community cleanup activities.
