My favorite place

My favorite place is my hometown. So let me introduce the special place in my hometown, Kamegaoka Iseki. It is the remains of close of Jomon era.Because the remains of close of Jomon are a few, it is not less precious than Sannai Maruyama Iseki though it's much smaller than Sannai Maruyama. You can often see the Shakouki Dogu in your history textbooks. It was unerthed there. My hometown has historical value.

Good morning,this is Yoshihiro Asai.I'll tell you one of the charm of landscape.Drawing landscapes requires less rules from the historical view points.As the source below shows,you can draw what you want to because it depends on your feeling of beauty.What people feel beautiful is often what is regarded as beautiful in the era.People has drawn the beauty of their own world.

Mont-Saint-Michel

My favorite architecture is Mont-Saint-Michel.
It is a famous monastery in France.
I came to know it with the picture postcard.
The sunset was beautiful, and it was like the painting.

I want to actually see Mont-Saint-Michel some time.
I think that it will be much more beautiful than picture postcards.

TAIPEI101

↑please click here !
Hi! I'm Mamoru. I'm going to introduce TAIPEI101. This is one of the tallest building in the world. Maybe some of us don't know that the building is condensed Japanese technology.

The building is constructed by the Kumagai Construction Company.And the elevater which is in the building is formed by TOSHIBA. I am glad that Japanese companies make a contribution to a foreign country.

This is one of the most popular picture painted by Gaugin , "Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?". I first saw the painting in a ethical textbook and it impressed me very much. I came to want to know about it. So , I resarched it .

It was painted from 1897 to 1898. Gaugin gave many meanings to this picture. This painting means Human Life, the right side is the birth , the center is the growth ,the left side is death.

"This picture might not exceed my paintings I have ever painted, but I can not make picture that is greater than it . And,I like this picture."Gaugin says about it.

I think this is one of the most impressing picture I have ever seen.

Yamadera

　Yamagata has several attractive point. Fruit, hot springs, and food. However, people assume there is nothing to see. But I think you should visit Yamadera.
　Yamadera is officially called as Risshakuji. It is famous for two things. The great poemer Basho Mathuo created his very famous haiku "Lonely silence, a single cicada's cry sinking into stone." in Yamadera. Second, when Hieizan, a famous temple was burned off by Nobunaga Oda, its religously important fire was lost. Then fire in Yamadera was sended to Hieizan. Stairs over eight handreds steps are also famous.
　Yamadera may be not attractive for some people, but people in Yamagata is kind of proud of Yamadera.

Beautiful Woman

As soon as I looked this painting,I could'nt take my eyes off it.How beautiful she is!She smiles softly and beautiflly.I think she loves one child very much who is held in her arms because she holds he(her?) carefully.

This picture is"Madonna della Seggiola".It was painted by Raffaello Santi(Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino).He was 32 years old.It told that when he saw a beautiful woman and her two children,he painted them on a bottom of wine barrel.

I love this painting.This woman is very very beautiful like an angel!I wish I were a woman like her...

Saman's tree

Hello guys!

I'm sure that all of you have ever seen this tree.

This is because this tree is very very famous for HITACHI's tree.

Everyone knows that song of this tree "Kono ki nan no ki kininaru ki~" is sung on TV.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%97%A5%E7%AB%8B%E3%81%AE%E6%A8%B9

Actually, I saw this tree when I traveled to Hawaii as my junior high school's trip. I remebered being impressed by this tree because it was really beautiful and kind of art. The name of this tree is monkey pod and the scientific name is samanea saman. This HITACHI's tree is seen in Moanalua garden park Oafu island Hawaii. Moanalua garden park was originally Kamehameha royal family's land and has the building of Kamehameha V which was bulit in the eighteen fifties.

Hello! It's Satoko.

I like kimono (Japanese traditional clothing) very much. My grand mother often wear it. Whenever I see her, I want to wear it like her. Most Japanese wear it only when they hold a coming-of-age celebration, a graduation ceremony. But I always think that there are many kind of kimono, so it is important for us to know its rules. For example, when you visit your superior, you should wear a semi-ceremonial kimono (houmonngi). When you are invited to somebody's wedding ceremony and you are a single, you wear a long-sleeved kimono (furisode).

We have such a beautiful and proudly clothing, so I wear it as many times as possible.

I'll link some homepages about kimono. If you are interested in it, please access it!!

My favorite place

This is a picture of the botanical garden of Tohoku University.
I belonged to Tohoku University before I entered Hirosaki University, and I studied biology there. I often went to the botanical garden, and I really enjoyed the natural environment.


The botanical garden is in the university and near the urban streets of Sendai city. Howerver, there are a lot of flowers and trees, and various kinds of animals such as deers, foxes, squirrels, bears, and many kinds of birds live there. One whole mountain forms the botanical garden! The scenery is very beautiful, and I feel quite comfortable when I see it.


I'm looking forward to visit the botanical garden again when I go back to Sendai.

My favorite place

Today, I want to introduce my favorite place. The place I love is Hokkaido. I have been there three times. I went to Sapporo when I was ten. I went to Kushiro when I was thirteen. I went to Hokkaido with my family.

The most favorite place in Hokkaido is Hakodate mountain. A night view from the mountain is wonderful!! The Hakodate mountain is 333 meters above the sea. This night view is one of the three most wonderful night view in the world.

My favorite time of day

My favorite time of day is between half past four and half past five in the evening.This is a time slot after some classes and before going to play table tennis as a club activities.During that time,I can do anything which I want to do.For example,sleeping properly,studying something,reading books or making cookies and so on.Furthermore,I can finish such an assignment which I suppose to present soon.After I finish them,I'll enjoy playing table tennis as hard as I can.Nothing will be on my mind except playing it.Of course,I like the time when I talk with my friends,but I like the time when I am alone.To think daily happenings or an unforeseen occurrence for myself is very important,I think.
　Now I'm a freshman in university,and I have much more free time than an upperclassman.Before I get busy,I'll make good use of that time in doing various things.I want to make some lucky charms for victories of table tennis matches to present to the members of the club above all!!

Salar de Uyuni

Hello, I'm Karakawa. Today I wanna tell you the place of my dreams, Salar de Uyuni.
"Salar de Uyuni" is Spanish. In English, Salt lake of Uyuni. Do you know it? It is located in the west of Bolivia, one of the country of South America. It is the biggest salt lake in the world. At Salt lake of Uyuni, white salt color streaches as far as the eye can see. Also its surface reflects the blue sky and the white cloud as if it were a mirror.
I knew it on TV when I was a little girl.Since then, I have longed to go there.I've never been there, but I'm eager to go there in my life. Or I wanna go to the beautiful and fantastic place like Salt lake of Uyuni if I were dead.
Thanks for reading.

A work of art

Hello, everyone! I'm Ryo Kikuchi.

Today, I want to introduce my favorite work of art. This picture is "Het meisje met de parel" painted by Johannes Vermeer. I like this picture very much.

This picture was painted in 1665. We don't know who this girl is, but she is usually thought of as Maria whose father is Vermeer. Her face seems very mysterious. So, this picture is called " The northern Mona Lisa". I like his brushwork very much. His pictures is like a photograph. They are enchantingly beautiful and wonderful.

Johannes Vermeer is a great painter. If you are interested in his pictures, please see them. You will be absorbed in them.

The Glaciers in Swirzerland

Hello, everyone! I'm Kiho. Today I'm going to write about the glacier in Switzerland.

The name of the mountain in this picture is Matterhorn. It is striking with its sharp top among other mountains. There are a lot of beautiful glaciers in Switzerland, so I went to see them with my family twice before.

The glaciers scarcely melt even in summer. Seeing the wonderful view, we can enjoy skiing and trekking. But these years, the glaciers have melted remarkably because of the global warming. They are retreating about 20 kilometer every year.

If we pass over this problem, the glaciers will be disappeared. We should think about it more seriously to protect them.

Atomic Bomb Dome

Today I wanna write about the atomic bomb dome. Most of all may know this disastrous architecture.
As you know, in 1945 the U.S. army thrown an atomic bomb down in Hiroshima for the first time in human history. The result of it was very tragical... We, human, must never forget the tragedy.
The atomic bomb dome is located in Hiroshima, and it remains the appearance as if it just has been bombed by the fat man. The architecture appeals to us the ravages of war and the catastrophe by atomic bomb, and it also tells us the importance of peace.

Patagonia

Today I want to introduce my favorite place. The place I love is Patagonia.But unfortunately , I have never been there. When I was a high school student, I came across an article about Patagonia.I was very impressed by the pictures of the nature there.So I became interested in this place.

Patagonia is an area located between Chile and Argentina.We can enjoy amazing nature there. Especially ,glaciers are so spectacular.I heard that people visiting there will be impressed by their beauty and scales for sure. The glaciers are as tall as 50~100m high buildings. Sometimes we can hear the big sound like thunder when huge glaciers collapse.The view of the nature here must be overwhelming.

I understand that it takes about 2days from Japan to Patagonia. It's pretty far away from Japan isn't it? So when I get enough time and money,I'd like to visit there and enjoy its beautiful nature.

Tower of the sun!

I guess that you know this architecture.

That's because this was exhibited in Osaka World Exposition in 1970.

I think that this architecture,especially this face,has a peculiar manner.How about you?

This is "Taiyou no tou",made by Tarou Okamoto.

It has three faces located in the front,the back and the top.

Each of them has meaning;white face in the front means the present,black face in the back means the past,gold face in the top means the future.

It is still famous.

Recently, eyes of the tower was turned on a light in March 27th.

I expect that this will be handed down all the time.

So when you have child or grandchild,you should tell them meanings of three faces.

I got information from:http://www1.u-netsurf.ne.jp/~kitada/doc/taiyo/

Honmonji Temple

When I lived in Tokyo, I sometimes went to Honmonji Temple in Ikegami. Tokyo is one of the busiest cities in the world. Honmonji Temple was inside Tokyo but is quiet and calm place.

Honmonji Temple was founded by Nichiren Shonin about 700 years ago. Honmonji Temple ranked as one of the major centers among the order's 5000 temples. There were the five-story pagoda, red pagoda, stupa and main hall on the premises. They are very beautiful and solemn. I felt as if I had been in ancient era.

If I go to Tokyo, I want to go there again and heal myself.

P52 Topic3 with links

Hello, everyone!　I'm Mizuki.

Today,　I want to write an essay based upon my research about a work of art I like. The work is "Pumpkin". It is one of the works of very famous artist, Yayoi Kusama. She is a japanese woman from Nagano prefecture and she is a sculptor, a painter, and a novelist. Her works are highly regarded around the world. She is 81 years old. (http://www.yayoi-kusama.jp/)

She often incorporates polka dots into her works of sculptures and paintings. "Pumpkin" is the object of big yellow polka-dot pumpkin. She constructed it on the shore of Naoshima in Kagawa prefecture in 1994. Naoshima is known as a town of modern art. (http://kagawa.weblike.jp/index.html)

I saw "Pumpkin" three years ago for the first time. At first, I thought it was an oddly colored sculpture, but currently I regard it as a symbol of Naoshima. Have you ever been to Naoshima? If not, go there and see "Pumpkin", thinking philosophically with your friends. I want to do that again!
