Blue Impulse Air Show for Tokyo Olympic 2020

On July 23, 2021, the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's aerobatics team "Blue Impulse", celebrating the opening of the Tokyo Olympics, drew the Olympic symbol "Five Wheels" in the sky. 

Tokyo Olympics 2020 is thought-provoking in many ways. One of the opening ceremonies, the Blue Impulse air show, was moving and suggestive.  The Blue Impulse reminded me that there is today after overcoming many hardships.

The image below is a video of the rehearsal practice. As it is a practice, the smoke is not colored:

                               Blue Impulse Olympic symbol Training over the base

Even though it was cloudy in Tokyo on July 23 2021, "Blue Impulse" drew five accurate and large perfect circles in the sky.


Olympic flight for the first time in 57 years

Blue Impulse is a team specializing in brilliant aerobatics at Japan's Air Self-Defense Force. The six aircraft colored in blue and white, the undisturbed formation that unfolds in the sky, and the dynamic performance must be a series of surprises. The earth is surrounded by great emotions and joyful voices. Its beautiful, magnificent, splendid and precise flight has been highly acclaimed both inside and outside the country. Blue Impulse also drew the Olympic ring in the sky at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Therefore, this is the first Olympic flight in 57 years.

Significance of domestic airplanes flying in Japan

The first aircrafts of the 1960 Blue Impulse, the F-86F, were provided by the United States. There is a historical reason for this.  From the defeat on August 15, 1945 to the entry into force of the San Francisco Peace Treaty in 1952, GHQ (General Headquarters: An Allied military agency that implemented an occupation policy in Japan to enforce the Potsdam Declaration following the end of World War II.cut off its wings from Japan. Specifically, regarding aircraft in Japan, the purchase, possession, operation, model making, research, education, experimentation, maintenance, or production facilities of aircraft were all banned. 

After the war, the Japanese themselves destroyed the planes they owned and were banned from education and research for seven years. From the time when there was no technology or know-how, not just the lack of infrastructure, until Japan began to make domestic airplanes on its own, there were unimaginable difficulties. Considering Japan at that time, when even operating an airplane by Japanese was not allowed, the wonderful flight of Blue Impulse was even more emotional.

The following video is from the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. There is a Blue Impulse flight from 2 minutes after the video:


Know from SCAPINs: How Japan was reorganized after the war
The various directives issued by the GHQ to the Government of Japan (Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers Directives to the Japanese Government = SCAPINs) can be viewed free of charge in the "Research Navi" of the National Diet Library Digital Collection.  

Regarding the aviation ban, the document is "SCAPIN-301: COMMERClAL AND CIVIL AVIATION 1945/11/18 Commercial and Civil Aviation". The impact of this document was terrible. The following is an excerpt of the document:

On and after 31 December 1945 you will not permit any governmental agency or individual, or any business concern, association, individual Japanese citizen or group of citizens, to purchase, own, possess, or operate any aircraft, aircraft assembly, engine, or research, experi- mental, maintenance or production facility related to aircraft or aeronautical science including working models. 
 
You will not permit the teaching of, or research or experiments in aeronautical science, aerodynamics, or other subjects related to aircraft or balloons.

Conclusion

The Tokyo Olympics 2020 is thought-provoking in many ways. The degree of humanity increases with the depth of what is reminiscent of superficial events. The Tokyo Olympics 2020 has great implications. It may be good to look back on the past as a turning point of the times. The scenery of the past will differ depending on the viewer, but it is important for each person to grasp the essence behind the superficial event.

Cosmic Implicit Order

If, without exception, there is no chance in this world, how do we find the inevitable law? Modern people who try to analyze theoretically and know the facts are like ants looking at a huge building and recognizing it.

Japan is the world's foetation

Japan is made up of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Okinawa, and small islands.  
When reposition and resize their land, then, the map of Japan becomes like a world map.



Some have said that the shape of Japan's country is a model of the world.  Honshu is the Americas, Kyushu is the Eurasian continent, Hokkaido is the African continent, and Shikoku is Australia. For example, Australia and Japan's Shikoku are similar in shape.

There are several interpretations of this correspondence: Onisaburo Deguchi (1871-1948), the founder of a new religion in Japan called Oomotosaid in Japan is the world's foetation (Nihon wa Sekai no Ena)” as follows:

I have often said that Japan is the foetation of the world and that the topography of the world is similar to that of Japan. That is, Japan consists of five major islands, and the world consists of five major islands, and the terrain is exactly the same.
 
Kyushu corresponds to Africa, Shikoku to Australia, Hokkaido to North America, Taiwan to South America, and Honshu to the Eurasian Continent.
 
Kii is Arabia, Lake Biwa is Caspian Sea, Osaka Bay is Black Sea, Ise Sea is Arabian Sea, Suruga Bay is Bengal Bay, Tsugaru Strait is Bering Strait, Tosa Bay is Australian Great Bay, Noto Peninsula The Scandinavian Peninsula, the Seto Inland Sea correspond to the Mediterranean Sea, and the Kanmon Strait corresponds to the Strait of Gibraltar.These are just a few. If you look up the place names in Kotodama, they are all the same, even in small towns and villages.

In Japan, Oshima (Amami Oshima) in Kagoshima Prefecture is also a microcosm of Japan, and all have similar figures. Also, the various events that occur in those lands also occur in a corresponding manner. Because the human body is similar, not just the land, the five viscera and six continents have a similar shape to the five continents.

Spiritual reflexology experience

Since the reflex area on the sole of the foot corresponds to the internal organs, the internal organs that correspond to the painful part by massaging are weakened. When I received a reflexology treatment in London around 1994, I realized how effective it was. The practitioner was a woman who was familiar with spiritual things. As soon as she touched a point on her sole, my headache disappeared. When she poured energy into the center of my sole, it felt like electricity was running all over my body. She told me that not only the soles of the feet but also the reflex areas of the palms correspond to the internal organs. Every time after her massage, I was cleansed both physically and mentally. And I was able to sleep comfortably and deeply.




Cosmic Implicit Order

Modern people are accustomed to discriminating things with short-sighted eyes. But the reality is more multi-layered and everything is related. There are no enemies or allies, and everything exists as one. For example, we have to realize that if we drive out an enemy, it is hurting ourselves.

It's the same with my own body, and it's the same in the world and in the universe. We may need training to see the essence from a holistic point of view.

Conclusion

Whether it's a ridiculously non-theoretical story or an alternative history, it might make sense. This is because a lot of information is flooded, both intentionally and unintentionally. In any case, it is useful to look at things from the perspective that there is no chance in the world. For example, it's reflexology in every dimension.

Values of happiness in a new era

It doesn't look like the world is getting better now. Still trying to find hope in the future. The Japanese have experienced such a past many times long ago. How can the Japanese overcome the greatest crisis this time?

Mt. Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan,
is an object of Japanese reverence and a source of culture though,
 the eruption is powerful enough to change the history of Japan.


The past when the Japanese overcame the drastic population decline

How humanity has overcome its hardships can be glimpsed in the history of the shrinking population turning to increase. 

According to Hiroshi Kito, a historical demographer of Sophia University who is familiar with the changes in Japan's population, around 2300 BC, 260,000 people lived in Japan. However, in the late Jomon period (around the 10 century BC), the population of 260,000 fell to 80,000. 

In Japan, external factors such as the weakening of the nation, famine due to climate change, and the outbreak of smallpox have been triggered by a set of psychological brakes that have no hope for the future.

Anxiety about the future that Japanese young people have

Japan's population peaked at 128.08 million in 2008 and began to decline. According to forecasts, Japan's population will shrink to one-third in less than 100 years due to the declining birthrate. It can be said that Japanese young people are under a psychological brake that they have no hope for the future. Most people don't think society will improve.

World Population Trends from 1950 to 2100

The following site is the population transition forecast of each country from 1950 to 2100. I don't think the accuracy is high, but it is interesting to be able to select and see various countries. By the way, it seems that the world population will reach more than 10 billion in 2100.






The trials that will come

In March 2021, the hazard map of the eruption of Mt. Fuji in Japan was updated, expanding the expected impact of the eruption. Due to the westerlies, the damage to the west from Mt. Fuji is so great that it completely surrounds Tokyo.

Mt. Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan, is an object of Japanese reverence and a source of culture (by the way, it was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013). However, the eruption is powerful enough to change the history of Japan.

Mt. Fuji has not erupted since it erupted in 1707, about 300 years ago, and it is feared that the eruption will soon be triggered.

The eruption of Mt. Fuji 300 years ago stagnated Japan's steadily increasing population. This is because the earthquake and the eruption of Mt. Fuji, as well as the oppression and no relief of the Shogunate, have afflicted the people.



Mt. Fuji eruption, December 16, 1707


Around 10 am on December 16, 1707 (solar calendar), Mt. Fuji erupted from the southeastern slope, and the eruption rose to 20,000 m above the sky. It did not get hot in the summer after the eruption of Mt. Fuji, so rice did not grow. At that time, rice was the main economic axis, so Japan was hit hard by both food and the economic crisis at that time. 

Even in such a situation, there was no relief from the Tokugawa Shogunate. The Tokugawa Shogunate declined while afflicting the people over 150 years, and finally the dawn of a new era in 1868, Japan entered the Meiji Restoration.

In 1868, Japan revives as a modern nation. Regardless of whether the Meiji Restoration is really good for people, the Tokugawa Shogunate has ended. And Japan's population started to increase again.

Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation) tells Mt. Fuji eruption

Hituki Shinji, an oracles in Japan that predict the future, tells us that the climax of hardship will pass with the eruption of Mt. Fuji. 
 
”Endure anything until Mt. Fuji moves. It's hard to starve. But no matter what, don't rush to death.” 

Values of happiness in a new era

The next eruption of Mt. Fuji may be powerful enough to change the history of Japan, which will encourage the Japanese to value the happiness of a new era. 


I hope that people will find happiness that fits into the optimal population for an economic system that is in harmony with the environment.

May new values such as cooperation rather than competition, sharing rather than ownership, and harmony rather than conquest become commonplace.

Mysterious May Full Moon Festival in Kyoto (Wesaku-sai)

It is said that on the full moon night of May in the fresh green, strong energy falls from the heavens to awaken everything. On this day, May 26, 2021 (Wednesday) 19: 00- (Japan time), the May Full Moon Festival (Wesaku-sai) will be held at Kurama-dera Temple in Kyoto. Unfortunately, the influence of COVID-19 prevents the general public from participating in this festival.

This festival has been held on Mt. Kurama in Kyoto for a long time. Even in the distant Himalayas, it was found that the Wesaku festival was held in piety in honor of the virtue of Buddha on this night, and after the war, the May full moon festival at Kurama-dera came to be called "Wesaku-sai" ("sai" or "matsuri" means festival in Japanese). 

At this festival in Kurama-dera, people offer water and lights to the full moon and pray for the awakening and peace of all "life."
 
Kurama-dera Temple in Kyoto

The full moon in May is a super moon with strong power

The full moon night in May seems to be a special day when strong energy is poured from the heavens. In fact, according to NASA, the full moon in May is called the supermoon and looks 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual. The physically large May full moon may also be spiritually more powerful than usual.

the full moon night of May is special

How to avoid the negative effects of an ominous lunar eclipse

My grandmother told me not to see the lunar eclipse because it is ominous. Strangely, the day of the full moon on May 26, 2021 Japan time overlaps with the lunar eclipse. Since the moon is mysterious, there may be secrets that humans do not know. So, according to my grandmother's teachings, I don't see a lunar eclipse.

Enjoy the candlelight instead. I enjoy candlelight not only on lunar eclipses but also on nights when the appearance of the moon is special. The candlelight warms your heart. You can enjoy the candlelight alone, but it will enrich your time with your family and special people.
The flame of the candle made of beeswax is gentle, so I like it 


Also, instead of looking directly at the moon, you can see it by reflecting it on a sake (rice wine) or pond. Even in Japan from ancient times, they enjoyed the sake of the moon reflected upside down. The sake vessel, "sakazuki," is derived from the moon ("tsuki (zuki)") reflected upside down ("sakasa (saka)"). The Book of Heaven (Chapters 2) (hotsuma.gr.jp)
 

Summary

The full moon in May is a super moon. The power of the moon, which shines bigger than usual, is powerful. As my grandmother taught me, I avoid seeing lunar eclipses because of the positive effects of the moon.

Japanese 1000 years ago

Japan is also pronounced "ni-ppon" and "ni-hon". 

In fact, this difference comes from the transition of the Japanese ha line (ha, hi, hu, he, ho).

Old Japanese is pronounced differently from modern Japanese

The biggest difference between old and modern languages ​​is pronunciation. In particular, the change in pronunciation of "ha line" is remarkable.

Until the Nara period, the Japanese ha line (ha, hi, hu, he, ho) was pronounced "pa, pi, pu, pe, po."

But in the Heian period it was pronounced "fa, fi, fu, fe, fo.” 

And it gradually became the pronunciation of "ha, hi, hu, he, ho" as it is today.

Japanese "ha" used to be sound "pa."

Japan, land of happy kotodama

Japan has been designated as a country where happiness is brought about by the power of Kotodama

Kotodama is a spiritual power that is generally believed to reside in words in Japan. 

This is reminiscent of the words of the Bible.

In the beginning was the Word, and 
the Word was with God, and 
the Word was God.

In other words, the word is regarded as the origin of the cosmos or as the cosmos itself.  Therefore, words, sounds, and vibrations are the basis of the world.


Transition of Japanese

The following I found is Lord's Prayer in Old Japanese → Future Japanese language:

 [from Old Japanese]  [to Future Japanese]
0:09 - 5C Pre-Old Japanese
0:59 - 7C Old Japanese
1:52 - 10C Early Middle Japanese
2:44 - 13C High Middle Japanese
3:34 - 16C Late Middle Japanese
4:20 - 19C Early Modern Eastern (Edo downtown) Japanese
5:00 - 21C Modern Japanese
5:33 - 23C Near Future Japanese
6:10 - 27C Future Pidgin Japanese
6:57 - ??C Abh Language

 

 
 I don't know how they discovered the old Japanese pronunciation.  To a certain degree, it’s possible to understand how to do it along with the record of other countries though. Therefore, I am skeptical about  any theory in principle.  But there’s possibility they used to speak Japanese differently.

Will Japanese really be far from the origin from now on?

If words have a spiritual power, I don't think that Japanese will change steadily in the future. 




After all, all things return to the perfect cosmos
 of ancient times, traveling like a spiral in the long run. 

Conclusion

Japan has been designated as a country where happiness is brought about by the power of Kotodama.  However, the old Japanese language has changed a lot. Will Japanese continue to change in the future? I want Japanese to return to its original spiritual Japanese.

"Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation)" predicts the near future

There are several oracles in Japan that predict the future. One of them is "Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation)," which is the Sun and the Moon Revelation that came from "Kuni-no-Tokotachi" (the god of heaven and earth creation in Japanese mythology). "


"Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation)" predicts the near future

"Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation)" was written during World War II, but it was said that Tokyo would become a burnt field and then Japan would undergo a great reconstruction. Rather, what is worrisome is the upcoming changes in the world. 

According to the "Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation)", a real god appears in the world, reveals the power of the god, helps all the people, and rebuilt the world into an ideal world without any trouble. 

However, before that, humankind must face unprecedented catastrophes and trials. To be saved, we must constantly cleanse, polish and prepare our minds, minds and bodies. 

Even under such circumstances, it is interesting that the way of life for good luck is also written.

"Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation)"

"Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation)" was written by Tenmei Okamoto (1897-1963), a scholar and painter, from 1945 to 1959, using an automatic clerk from the high-class spirit "Kuni-no-Tokotachi" (the god of heaven and earth creation in Japanese mythology) ". 

Numbers and symbols rather than letters

The original text consists of numerals, symbols, kana characters, and abstract pictures. Most of the "Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation)" are written in numbers and symbols, but there is a reason for this. 

First of all, when it comes to advanced spiritual people, there are no letters. 

And numbers contain many secret meanings compared to other letters. The people of heaven are true.  therefore, they can convey all by numerals and symbols rather than other letters. 

How to purify the mind and body with a proper diet

One of the main themes of "Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation)" is how to purify the mind and body with a proper diet. The correct diet is to eat small meals, eat grains and vegetables, and not eat meat.

According to "Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation)", vegetarians and small meals help people get better and cure their illness. Don't eat full. Because it's the way to death. Give 20% of your meal to God first. People who eat a lot are possessed. Therefore, control your diet, in order not be possessed.   

Meaning of "If you hit your right cheek, put out your left cheek"

According to "Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation),"  you can hit your cheeks because you have something in your heart that will hit your cheeks. You won't be able to hit the innocent face of a laughing baby. This is the true meaning of non-resistance that leads to peace. Don't be foolish enough to hit your right cheek and then stick your left cheek. 

You won't be able to hit the innocent face of a laughing baby.


Don't worry about tomorrow, thank you for being alive today

According to "Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation)," when you wake up in the morning, thank God for entrusting you with this life today, and live as hard as you can according to God's will. Pray that you can contribute to the prosperity of the world. God will tell you what to do that day, at that time. Don't worry about tomorrow. 

Cataclysms and wars on Earth

According to "Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation),"  there have been six cataclysms and wars on Earth. It will be the last for the seventh time in the future. Until now, this was a change only in this world, but this time it will be a cataclysm in all dimensions including the world of God and the ghost world. There are various signs of cataclysm:
  • Cherry blossoms bloom in winter
  • 2-3 suns appear
  • It snows in summer
  • It finally starts from the beach
  • The color of the sun is black and the moon is red
What are the signs of a catastrophe?


It is necessary to judge whether the word of God is correct

According to "Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation),"  even the word of God must not be believed indiscriminately. It's the same as medicine can be poisonous. Don't be foolish, or you will lose track of the true path.

Don't worry about tomorrow

According to "Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation)," when you wake up in the morning, thank God for entrusting you with this life today, and live as hard as you can according to God's will. Pray that you can contribute to the prosperity of the world. God will tell you what to do that day, at that time. Don't worry about tomorrow. 

Conclusion

Purifying the mind and body is important even in difficult times. You can get various hints on how to overcome the difficult situation by reading the mysterious ""Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation)" in Japan. For the time being, it looks good to have a small meal.

Heresy may be the Truth behind the Authority

Sometimes it's good to consider the possibilities beyond common sense such as heresy. Because heresy may be the truth behind the authority.
Is heresy evil?

Is authority good?

Authority is the power to coerce others into submission. Authority is distinguished from the power to coerce consent and obedience by threats or force, which appears to encourage consent and obedience voluntarily. Those who do not receive approval from authority become heretics. Is heresy evil? Is authority good?

There are many heresies in the world

Kikuo Chishima (1899 -1978) :  a Japanese medical researcher. The Chishima Doctrine is characterized by a doctrine that is quite different from the conventional wisdom of modern medicine. It is as follows: 
  1. Blood is made from the villi of the small intestine. (In modern medicine, the idea that blood is made from the bone marrow).
  2. Cells are modified red blood cells (modern medicine believes that cells are made from the same cells).
  3. Blood transfusion is dangerous
  4. Bone marrow transplants are dangerous.
  5. Cancer should not be removed. Cancer cells are made up of red blood cells. Even if it is removed, it will metastasize if the root is not addressed. And so on.

Gaston Naessens (1924-2018)  Naessens said a somatid is the tiny living blood particles and described them as part of a complex life cycle. However, his theory as such has not been accepted by the academic community.

Nephilim: Nephilim is the name of a tribe that appears in the Old Testament books of Genesis and Numbers, as well as the Old Testament exoteric (sequel) books of Job and Enoch, commonly referred to as "giants". The name means "the one who came down from heaven".

King Tutankhamun of ancient Egypt was Japanese.
Was Tutankhamun a Japanese boy!?



George Adamski (1891 - 1965)  I enjoyed reading The Complete Works of Adamski (Visitors from Outer Space), translated into Japanese by Kubota Hachiro in the 1980s.

After questioning common sense, let's get back to nature.

I think it's important to question common sense, get enough rest, eat a well-balanced diet, travel to scenic places, take a walk in the woods, listen to good music, look at beautiful flowers and paintings, and make time to truly enjoy yourself. This will increase your sense of well-being and boost your body's immunity. To live smoothly and cooperatively with others.

After all, what is important

May society respect diverse values and personalities and be tolerant of "heretics". 
Good time

When Yin Reaches its Peak, it will Begin to Transform into Yang.

Thinking of the gods of old

In Japanese mythology, there is a scene where the old gods give up their country to the new gods. It's so metaphorical that we don't know exactly when and how the old gods of Izumo were replaced by the new gods on Amaterasu's side. Was it military force that was the deciding factor? It is said that the chief of the old gods of Izumo, Okuninushi, ceded the country in order not to sacrifice his allies.

The last two thousand years of human history have been a series of wars. Poverty, environmental destruction, and inequality have been rampant. We have sacrificed too much. Enough is enough. 

In modern times, the property rights system of capitalist society has caused the indigenous peoples who are ignorant of the property rights system to lose their culture and livelihoods. How are the old gods doing now?

When Hawaii ceased to be a Hawaiian country, what happened?

Hanauma Bay, Hawaii

Hawaii is a small island in the Pacific Ocean. It has an ancient history of respecting nature, finding gods in nature, and living in harmony with nature. This is very similar to the "polytheism" of old Japan, where people believed in many gods. Perhaps because of such similarities, there is a branch of Izumo Taisha in Hawaii.

Events in Hawaii, also known as the Blount Report, is a collection of material on the history of Hawaii, focusing on the events leading up to the disappearance of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

First, the United States recognized Hawaii as an independent kingdom in 1842.

Next, in 1845, Hawaii changed its traditional land ownership system to allow non-Hawaiians to purchase land. As a result, by the 1890s, foreigners owned 90 percent of the land.

Queen Liliuokalani (1838-1917) attempted to regain the power that had been stripped from the monarchy. However, it was no longer the Hawaiians who owned the land in Hawaii, but the majority of Americans and Europeans who owned the land in Hawaii. They rebelled against the Queen and planned to have the Hawaiian Islands annexed by the United States.

Ultimately, Hawaii became a territory of the United States by a resolution of both houses of Congress signed by President William McKinley on July 7, 1898.

On August 21, 1959, Hawaii was established as the 50th state. Every resident of Hawaii became a citizen of the United States of America.

Where on earth we are getting for now?

The changing of the times may be a supernatural fluctuation that transcends personal right and wrong. 

The history of conquest began at some point in antiquity. Was it fear that drove the desire to conquer? The number of conquered peoples, land, gold, cash, etc., the objects of accumulation changed over time. 

But will the disparity continue to grow in the future? If this continues, the human race on earth will die out. Has the world now reached its limits? 

Intuitively, I am convinced that times are starting to head in the right direction for all of us. We are now at a great crossroads. 

From now on, like the pendulum swinging backwards, we will continue on our path to equality and peace. A new era, the Age of Aquarius, has begun. So structures that allow some people to gain wealth at the expense of the well-being of others will no longer exist. When yin reaches its peak, it will begin to transform into yang. I pray that the old gods will be restored. 

It's time to balance

Conclusion

The last 2000 years have been a history of increasing poverty and environmental destruction. It has already reached its peak. So now return to Nature.

Art and culture at Tokyo National Museum online in English

Art and culture enrich the inside

I went to the Tokyo National Museum onSeptember 21, 2020 with my daughter. It was a pleasant autumn day in Tokyo.

This day is a free viewing day. The following 3 days in a year are free viewing days:

  1. May 19th (Tuesday), 
  2. September 3rd Monday, 
  3. November 3rd (Tuesday / holiday)

The Tokyo National Museum is a museum of Japanese and Oriental cultural properties (arts, archaeological relics, etc.). 

Reservations must be made prior to your intended visit.

The purpose of my visit to the museum this time was to trace the memories of old things. I'm sure things have memories. I wanted to connect with the thoughts of my ancient ancestors.

Changes in consciousness appearing in ancient objects

I felt that the times would obviously change significantly.

1.For example, a clay figurine.

1-1. First, the clay figurines of BC




No.8 is "goggle-eyed" clay figure, which is very unique among variety of humanoid figurine from the late Jōmon period. It's like an alien in a spacesuit.

1-2. Next, the Kofun period when war and centralization began

 







The expression of the Jomon period in BC is full of mysterious charm. The haniwa around the 6th century dates from the Kofun period (Tumulus period), when the war and centralization began, and it seems that the expression is somewhat melancholy.

2.Another example is a vessel.

2-1. First, the vessels of BC






2-2. Next, modern vessels




Modern vessels are sophisticated and beautiful, but BC vessels have a mysterious energy.

Touch the spirit of ancient ancestors

Another purpose is to see the toes of the stone statue of Sakhmet, the goddess of ancient Egypt. The head of the goddess is a lioness. She is also the goddess of the sun. In Egyptian mythology, Sakhmet is a warrior goddess as well as goddess of healing.



Like my daughter, Sakhmet has a long second toe. 


It's nice to have something similar to this unique goddess of ancient Egypt.

Art and culture are elements of inner affluence. 

Tokyo National Museum has Japanese and Oriental cultural properties, available online in English.
