Shimoda (下田市, Shimoda-shi)
is a city and port located in Shizuoka Prefecture,...
- History
Shimoda has been settled since prehistoric times, with numerous Jōmon period remains found within city limits. It is mentioned in Nara period documents as the location to which Prince Ōtsu was exiled in 686 after his failed rebellion, and in Heian period documents in reference to its iron ore deposits.
During the Sengoku period it was controlled by the Odawara Hōjō clan, who built a castle (later destroyed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi).
Under the Tokugawa shogunate, Shimoda was tenryō territory directly administered by the shōgun. During the Edo period, Shimoda prospered as a seaport, and was a major port of call for coastal vessels travelling between Osaka and Edo.
Until 1721, as a security measure, all vessels were obligated to call at Shimoda before proceeding on to Edo.

The Ochiai clan consequently fought for the Uesugi during the Siege of Katsurayama in March 1557; all Ochiai members who took part in the battle were killed in combat or committed suicide. During the Edo period the area of Saku developed as the castle town of Tatsuoka Domain under the Tokugawa shogunate and as a post town. Following the post-Meiji restoration cadastral reforms, the area was organised into Saku District, with the town of Asama, and the village of Higashi (from Kitasaku District) merging with the towns of Nozawa and Nakagomi (both from Minamisaku District) to create the city of Saku. On April 1, 2005 Saku absorbed the town of Usuda (from Minamisaku District), the town of Mochizuki, and the village of Asashina (both from Kitasaku District). - - - More in the WIKIPEDIA ! ....................................................................... - quote - Tatsuoka Domain (龍岡藩, Tatsuoka-han) Okutono Domain (奥殿藩, Okutono-han), also known as Okudono, was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan, located in Kamo District and Nukata Districts of Mikawa Province (part of modern Aichi Prefecture), and in Saku District, Shinano Province, (part of modern Nagano Prefecture) Japan. The domain was also known as Ogyū Domain (大給藩, Ogyū-han) and later known as Tanoguchi Domain (田野口藩, Tanoguchi-han) and Tatsuoka Domain (龍岡藩, Tatsuoka-han). The ruling family was the Ogyū-Matsudaira clan. - - - More in the WIKIPEDIA ! ....................................................................... - quote - Nirasaki (韮崎市, Nirasaki-shi) - History The area around present-day Nirasaki was the ancestral homeland of the Takeda clan, which dominated Kai Province in the Sengoku period. During the Edo period, the area was tenryō territory under the direct administration of the Tokugawa shogunate, and the village of Niirasaki was a post town on the Kōshū Kaidō highway. During the early Meiji period, the area was organized into 14 villages under Kitakoma District, Yamanashi. Nirasaki was elevated to town status on September 20, 1892.

The Tōsandō, one of the national routes passed Komoro, which was the location of an Umaya, or post station for government officials and army. However, the name "Komoro" first appears in written history in the Kamakura period chronicle, Azuma Kagami. In these days, Komoro Tarō Mitsukane (小諸太郎光兼), a gokenin assigned by the shogunate to govern the area. During the Muromachi period, the region came under the control of the Ogasawara Ōi clan. The area had a very unsettled history during the Sengoku period. Under the Edo period Tokugawa shogunate, much of the area was under the control of Komoro Domain and the town developed into a jōkamachi around Komoro Castle. - - - The area which later became Komoro Han 小諸藩 Komoro Domain was repeated contested between the Uesugi clan, the Takeda clan and the Later Hōjō clan during the Sengoku period, changing hands repeatedly. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi annihilated the Hōjō clan in the Siege of Odawara in 1590, he awarded Komoro as a 50,000 koku holding to Sengoku Hidehisa. The marked the start of Komoro Domain. He was confirmed in his status by Tokugawa Ieyasu after the Battle of Sekigahara, and his son, Sengoku Tadamasa was transferred to Ueda Domain in 1622. Komoro was part of the holdings of Kōfu Domain from 1622-1624, but was revived as an independent domain for Matsudaira Norinaga from 1624-1647. On his death without an heir, the domain was placed under Matsumoto Domain for a year, until the transfer of Aoyama Munetoshi, who was raised from hatamoto status. He subsequently served as Osaka jōdai from 1662, and Komoro was given to Sakai Tadayoshi, formerly of Isesaki Domain. Sakai was demoted to Tanaka Domain in Suruga Province in 1679. The next ruler of Komoro was Nishio Tadanari, formerly of Tanaka Domain. He made great efforts to undo the damage caused by the misgovernment of Sakai Tadayoshi, but was transferred to Yokosuka Domain in 1682. Komoro was then given to a junior branch of the Matsudaira clan from 1679 to 1702. In 1702, Makino Yasushige was transferred to Komoro from Yoita Domain in Echigo Province. This at last brought stability to the administration of the domain, as the Makino clan continued to rule until the Meiji restoration. - - - More in the WIKIPEDIA ! :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Saku Cosmos Kaido 佐久コスモス街道 About 9 km long, now National Highway 254.

- quote -
Amenominakanushi (天御中主 or 天之御中主神,
"Heavenly Ancestral God of the Originating Heart of the Universe")
is, according to the Shinto Kojiki, the first kami and the source of the universe. In Japanese mythology, Amenominakanushi is described as a "god who came into being alone" (hitorigami), the first of the zōka sanshin ("three kami of creation"), and one of the five kotoamatsukami ("distinguished heavenly gods").
- Origin
Amenominakanushi had been considered a concept developed under the influence of Chinese thought, but now most scholars believe otherwise. With the flourishing of kokugaku the concept was studied by scholars. The theologian Hirata Atsutane identified Amenominakanushi as the spirit of the North Star, master of the seven stars of the Big Dipper. The god was emphasized by the Daikyōin[clarification needed] in the Meiji period, and worshipped by some Shinto sects.[2] There are also scholars who believe that the Amenominakanushi concept was introduced in Japan sometime in the 7th or 8th century by the Nestorian or the Keikyo believers, underpinning its Christian origin.
- Kami concept
The god manifests in a duality, a male and a female function, respectively Takamimusubi and Kamimusubi. In other mythical accounts the originating kami is called Umashiashikabihikoji ("God of the Ashi [Reed]") or Kuninotokotachi (the "God Founder of the Nation"), the latter used in the Nihon Shoki. Some sources identify these deities as the three Kamis called (three creator-Kami", a conceptualization that also reflect the so-called Kami of the threefold whirl (Amatsu uzu-uzushiyatsunagi) in Yamakage Shinto. These three gods, identified as a third of the three versions of the cosmogonic myths involving the kami, appeared in Takamanohara or the "domain of heaven" during the birth of the cosmos.
According to The Ancient Shinto Deity Ame-no-minaka-nushi-no-kami Seen in the Light of Today, by Professor Katō Genchi, no authentic shrines dating from antiquity were dedicated to this deity, though two "recent" shrines, Wada-jinja (founded in A.D. 1659) and Okada-jinja, are allegedly dedicated to this god. Shinsen Shōjiroku mentioned only two families as descendant of Ame-no-Minaka-Nushi-no-Kami: Hattori-no-muraji and Miteshiro-no-Obito.
With the shinbutsu bunri separation, the deity of Buddhist origin Myōken, the "North Star", which was worshiped at many shrines, was changed to Amenominakanushi.

天之御中主神（あめのみなかぬしのかみ、あまのみなかぬしのかみ）
Ame no Minakanushi no Kami
日本神話において最初に登場する神。天地開闢の際に、別天津神・造化三神の初めの1柱として宇宙に生成された存在であるとされる。
神名は
天の真中を領する神を意味する[1]。『古事記』では神々の中で最初に登場する神であり、別天津神にして造化三神[2]の一柱。『日本書紀』の正伝には記述がなく、異伝（第一段の第四の一書）に天御中主尊（あめのみなかぬしのみこと）として記述されている。『古事記』『日本書紀』共にその事績は何も記されていない。そのため天之御中主神は中国の思想の影響により創出された観念的な神であるとされるが、これに否定的な論もある。
平安時代の
延喜式神名帳』には天之御中主神を祀る神社の名は記載されておらず、信仰の形跡は確認できない。この神が一般の信仰の対象になったのは、近世において天の中央の神ということから北極星の神格化である妙見菩薩と習合されるようになってからと考えられている。現在、天之御中主神を祀る神社の多くは、妙見社が明治期の神仏分離・廃仏毀釈運動の際に天之御中主神を祭神とする神社となったものである[3]。また水天宮も天之御中主神を主祭神の一つとしている。
天之御中主神は
哲学的な神道思想において重要な地位を与えられることがあり、中世の伊勢神道では豊受大神を天之御中主神と同一視し、これを始源神と位置づけている。江戸時代の平田篤胤の復古神道では天之御中主神は最高位の究極神とされている。 ...

During 天の神の祭 the festival for Ten no Kami they use tachi 太刀 a long sword during a dance where a mortar is hit by it. Sometimes this causes sparks and a fire starts.
Once a man stole this long sword but his home burned down and he brought the sword back to the owner.

From the summit is a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside that in the autumn bursts with the rich colour of turning leaves. The best time to visit is mid-October to early November when the various tree species are at their most brilliant.

Edo chookin 江戸彫金 Edo Chokin metal chasing

quote

What is the kind of time that you want to wear precious metals?
When you want to feel strength and confidence. When you want to feel glamorous.
At times like these, or even if you just want to be surrounded by something nice, the "Hand-Weaving Jewellery Pendant"responds to these needs.
These pendants are crafted by Mr. Takahiro Higaki.

The naming was also decided by him.
The process is to first twist　the wire of precious metals such as gold,　platinum and silver.
Once you add thickness and nuances to the lines,　you weave in your own colour scheme and crossing pattern.
Like this, you can create jewellery with both volume and warmth.
Making things by hand one step　at a time is what creates this warmth.
The precious metals are brazed　to a ring on the top part of the pendant,　though you can barely tell the junction point.
The careful finishing also enhances　the dignity of the jewellery.
The top parts of the pendants come with either　two or three connection points.
By changing the way you pass the chains through these points,　you can enjoy a variety of different expressions.

- quote -

彫金の技術は悠久の歴史を持ち、古墳時代後期が起源とされています。江戸元禄時には、自由な発想と新鮮なデザインにより生活用品の中に広まりました。彫金はカンザシや指輪等の装身具、置物、神仏具などに施され、製品に格調と厚みを加え、素材本来の持ち味を引き立たせます。その技法には彫り(鏨(たがね)を使って地金に彫りをすること)、打ち出し(地金の延びや縮みを利用して叩いていくこと)、接合(地金どうしを金蝋等を使用して接合すること)、色金(地金を溶解炉の中で溶かして合金を作ること)、象嵌(違う種類の色金を加工して嵌めていくこと)などがあり、現在は地金から様々な技法を使って装身具を作る技術全般を指しています。

He was the lord of Wakayama and often called
Nanryuko 南龍公 "Honorable Southern Dragon".
He went to the hot spring 龍神温泉 Ryujin Onsen "of the Dragon God".

Ryujin Onsen 龍神温泉
is a Japanese onsen, hot spring located in Ryūjin village, now the part of Nakahechi town in Wakayama Prefecture.
Ryujin Onsen was discovered in the 7th century by Ennogyoja, the founder of Shugendō.
Kobo Daishi, founder of Shingon Buddhism visited the spot in the 9th century.
During the Edo era (1603-1868), the onsen was used as a resort area by the Tokugawa ruling family, whose castle was in Wakayama city.
Today there are old Japanese inns, ryokans, using the names Kamigoten (Royal Palace) and Shimogoten (Lower Lodgings), from the old feudal system.
It is said to be the third best onsen for beautifying your skin in Japan.

Tokugawa Yorinobu 徳川頼宣
(1602 - 1671)

- quote -

Born under the name Nagatomimaru (長福丸), he was the 10th son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, by his concubine Kageyama-dono. On December 8, 1603, Yorinobu received the fief of Mito, then rated at 200,000 koku, as his fief. Mito had formerly belonged to his older brother, Takeda Nobuyoshi. Following his stipend increase to 250,000 koku in October 1604, he came of age on September 12, 1606, taking the name Yorimasa, and receiving the court rank of junior 4th, lower grade (ju-shi-i-ge) and the title of Hitachi no Suke.
On January 6, 1610, he was transferred to a 500,000 koku fief in Suruga and Tōtōmi Provinces (thereby founding Sunpu Domain centered on Sunpu Castle), and took the name Yorinobu.
However, after a little under a decade in Suruga, he was transferred to the 550,000 koku Wakayama Domain on August 27, 1619, following the transfer of the previous rulers, the Asano clan, to Hiroshima, in Aki Province.
Yorinobu thus became the founder of the Kii branch of the Tokugawa family.
Yorinobu's wife, Yorin-in (1601-1666) was the daughter of Katō Kiyomasa.
By the end of his life, Yorinobu had achieved junior 2nd court rank (ju-ni-i), as well as holding the title of dainagon ("major counselor").
Yorinobu had four children:
his successor Tokugawa Mitsusada, Yorizumi, the founder of the Iyo-Saijo Domain, Inaba-hime, who married Ikeda Mitsunaka of the Tottori Domain, and Matsuhime, who married Matsudaira Nobuhira of the Yoshii Domain.
Following his death, he was referred to by the title Nanryū-In 南龍院.
In 1915,
Yorinobu was posthumously promoted to senior 2nd court rank (shō-ni-i).
