Hello everyone! Well Christmas is almost here and I can’t remember a year that had so much cheer! And today is our last day of teaching for the year and I wish all the staff, teachers and of course students many best wishes for the holiday season and look forward to a very productive year in 2011!!
For those of you interested in historical places, and a great many of my sightseeing road trips in Japan have focused on artifacts of UNESCO heritage or National Treasure, I challenge anyone to take a guess what and where this might be. It is a unique structure and the type of ceremony held in it was also considered unique and it therefore qualified for a UNESCO World Heritage nomination both for its architectural value as well as its cultural significance.
The colors shown are historically correct, and the painting was done during a fairly recent and on-going restoration that began at the site earlier this decade. The entire complex is huge and can easily take most of a day to visit, but if you make the special trip to see it, I recommend to take your time and go to extreme north end where the newly constructed National Museum of Cultural History was recently opened. It really is a very nice place and there is even a wonderful 3-storey Starbuck’s nearby displaying contemporary art from the regions. Very cool!
