📸子規の庭 [ 奈良県奈良市 ] ② Tenpyo Club Shiki's Garden, Nara ーー #正岡子規 の子孫は作庭家だった。子規が詠んだ柿の木🍊を中心に、奈良の世界遺産・東大寺、若草山⛰を背後にのぞむ庭園。 ...... 続き。「子規の庭」公式サイトでは、子規の子孫（子規の妹のお孫さん）であり作庭を手掛けた『正岡庭園設計』正岡明さんによる解説文が掲載されています。 デザインコンセプトは、23歳の子規が描いた「書斎及び庭園設計」の、 . ・秋の野草を植え皆野性の有様にて乱れたるを最上とする ・すべて日本風の雅趣を存すべし …に基づいたもの。東京の『子規庵』の庭園もこの一言を見た後に見直すとまた新たな紐解き方ができる、かも。 . レストラン内から見られる池泉は石組が目立つけれど、お庭を歩くと植物が主体の庭園ということが体感できます。今回訪れた時期はモミジやドウダンツツジの紅葉🍁にツワブキ、サザンカの花が楽めた。春にはツツジ・サツキの刈り込みがカラフルに咲き誇るんだろう。 . 庭園の最上段には、東大寺大仏殿と若草山・春日山を借景に、正岡子規の句碑が残ります。使われている緑泥片岩は子規の出身地・愛媛の西条市で産出された伊予青石。 . なお對山樓が廃業したのは���和38年。奈良県立図書館情報館のウェブサイトにかつての建物・庭園の写真が残っています。 どんな素晴らしい古建築・古庭園でも、後世の残されるかどうかは色んな要因…それを雑に一言で言ってしまえば“運”なのかもなあ。 ・・・・・・・・ 🔗おにわさん紹介記事： https://oniwa.garden/shikinoniwa-%e5%ad%90%e8%a6%8f%e3%81%ae%e5%ba%ad/ ーーーーーーーー ‪#japanesegarden #japanesegardens #jardinjaponais #japanischergarten #jardinjapones #jardimjapones #японскийсад #日本庭園 #庭園 #庭院 #庭园 #池泉回遊式庭園 #奈良庭園 #naragarden #nararestaurant #masaokashiki #おにわさん #oniwasan (子規の庭) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ-Ao1kAh46/?igshid=w6luox1qxxqi

Why Japanese Baseball Fans Are As Riveting As The Game Itself

Baseball, known locally as yakyuu (or literally "field ball"), is a national phenomenon in Japan. Masaoka Shiki, one of Japan's four great haiku masters, wrote several poems praising it. Osaka's most infamous urban legend centers around it. It's even more popular than the nation's native sumo. According to data published by Japan's Central Research Services in 2018, 48% of respondents cited baseball as their favorite sport. Sumo wrestling and soccer were well behind, tied for second place at around 25% each.

How baseball came to Japan

Baseball was introduced to Japan in 1872 by an American English teacher named Horace Wilson who taught at Tokyo's Kaisei Academy. This was at the start of the Meiji era (1868-1912), a period during which adopting customs and practices from the West was highly in vogue. The sport didn't catch on nationally until shortly after World War II ended. During the U.S. occupation of Japan, American GIs heavily promoted the sport. Baseball legends like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio formed an All-Star league and competed against local players. Women wearing kimonos lead cheers from atop a dugout at a baseball game in Japan in 1965. Bettmann Another thing that boosted baseball's popularity was the support of Japanese corporations, which began sponsoring professional teams. To this day, many teams bear the name of a corporation rather than a city or region.

Japanese baseball today

America has competition when it comes to claiming baseball as its national pastime. The Nippon Professional Baseball League (NPB), the country's equivalent of Major League Baseball (MLB), boasts approximately 27 million fans — about 20% of the entire population. Many have pointed out that key characteristics of the game appeal to the Japanese work ethic. Baseball relies heavily on teamwork, perseverance and discipline, which are qualities the Japanese tend to highly value. A young Japanese player holds a ball with writing that congratulates him for his first hit. Shoji Fujita Loyalty is another coveted characteristic. Japanese baseball players tend to stay on one team throughout their careers, though occasionally someone makes it to the U.S. Major Leagues. Those include Japanese star Ichiro Suzuki, who holds an impressive MLB record of 262 hits in one season, and a rookie named Shohei Ohtani who is currently making waves in the United States. The most popular major league teams in Japan are the Hanshin Tigers (Osaka), Hiroshima Carps and Yomiuri Giants (Tokyo). Travelers to those cities can add a game to their itinerary during baseball season, which typically runs from March to October. Baseball fans use megaphones to cheer during a high school tournament in Fukui, Japan. Buddhika Weerasinghe Not only are NPB games extremely popular in Japan, high school baseball is also universally beloved. Each year, more than 50,000 people watch the National High School Baseball Championship live at Koshien Stadium, and millions more view it on national TV, making it the most-watched sporting event in the country.

Differences between US and Japanese baseball

Japanese baseball games can end in a tie, where American rules dictate that teams play extra innings until one team wins. In 2016, the MLB saw a rare tie game where a game was called due to rain; before that, the last recorded tie was in 2005. Japanese fans cheer on the championship game of the 2017 Little League World Series. Alex Trautwig The Japanese use a slightly smaller ball than their American counterparts. Japanese swings are noted to be more compact, with the goal being to advance players rather than hit the long ball. Jeering is frowned upon in Japan, while it's widely tolerated — even expected — at American games. And fighting for foul balls is unheard of in Japan; the ball is simply returned to the nearest usher. Curry, ramen and takoyaki (grilled octopus) are sold in Japanese stadiums as are "American dogs," or corn dogs.

What it's like to attend a game

Tickets typically cost between 3,000 yen to 10,000 yen ($27 to $90) and can be purchased at the stadium on game days (though weekend and holiday games can sell out). Advanced online purchasing is also available, though most — but not all — sites are in Japanese. Japanese baseball games are so exciting and interactive that even those who don't follow the sport have a good time. With so much happening off the field, baseball in Japan is much more than a mere spectator sport. Spectators in Osaka cheer high school baseball players from an area devastated by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The team were the heroes of the national tournament, despite losing 0-7. JIJI PRESS/AFP Fans at a baseball game at Jingu Stadium in Tokyo, Japan. Kiyoshi Ota The steady flow of booze is another factor in the merriment. During baseball games, women walk through the stands with heavy kegs strapped to their backs, deftly serving cold draft beers and other spirits to spectators. People are more than welcome to bring their own alcohol — and food — as long as they pour their drinks into plastic cups provided by the stadium. The way this American sport found an immovable place in the hearts of the Japanese people is perhaps best summed up in a haiku, by Masaoka Shiki: spring breeze this grassy field makes me want to play catch Read the full article
