Kyoto Kokusai Manga Museum(京都国際マンガミュージアム)

Kyoto kokusai manga museum is facilities where it introduces the cartoon culture of Japan. Cartoons other than Japan have been exhibited there. There is a culture that reads the cartoon from the adult to the child in Japan. It is because the cartoon of Japan is very refined.

I have gone there since the afternoon. There were a lot of people because it was holiday. There were a lot of families and couple. However, I went alone. I was lonely. However, the purpose of this is to write the article. It is necessary to go if it is as much as lonely.

In this facilities, a lot of cartoons are read as much as you like. It is possible to go in and out freely if there is an admission ticket. Let's go there when you become empty because there is a coffee shop in facilities. By the way, I have slept on the bench on the outside when I read comics. It was already eight o'clock of the evening when noticing.



How much was I sleeping!?

The bench of Kamo-river

Saturday, June 22, The point where I am tired from a crowd and arrived at is a riverbank of Kamo-river is basic of Kyoto date.
There is Kyoto fashion cantata that I promised from last month on that day. As is expected, it is Kyoto fashion cantata, The show of course, The number of spectators is a lot!! My head reels with the heat of the show and people a little. In the show having been over we drunk on people yet go to Kamo-river like the fish which totally breathes. Our problem of days drift with a river when we lower a waist on the bench of the stone and hear the sound of the river. I look up incidentally on from there, then I see a man and the woman who have dinner on the porch.
“We have no-money for having dinner on the porch, however we cannot buy this our time on the bench of the stone.”
…thinking that, I look up at the top proudly.

Legend of Togesu-bridge

I went to Arashiyama in Kyoto after a long separation. I wanted to visit Tenryu-temple which is one of cultural assets.But when I arrived at there, I found that people can go in there only from 9:00-17:00 and it was 18:00 then. I could not go in there though I went to there by my bicycle for 40 minutes….I crossed Togetsu-bridge on the way to my home. Then, I came up with a idea that I took pictures and upped them on the blog. I look back on the bridge to take pictures. Then, I remembered what my ground mother had said,“If you looked back on Togetsu-bridge, you would become stupid!” But I could not remember the reason clearly. I went home and made sure…

-----------------------------------------------------

There is Hohrin-temple near the Togetsu-bridge. When you go to Hohrin-temple for “Ju-san-Maili”, you have to cross Togetsu-bridge.“Ju-san-maili” is one of traditional function that boys and girls who are 12 year-old and their parents visit Hohrin-temple to receive wisdom and happiness from gods. There is a legend that if you looked back on your way to your home from the temple on the bridge, you would lost the wisdom and happiness. Someone think that the legend is kind of discipline because the boys and girls can learn to keep promise from that.

-----------------------------------------------------

I remembered that. So, it was important for me when I was 12 year-old!! But now, I am 22 year-old. I can look back on the bridge.I remembered that I was 12 year-old, and I feel sentimental. Maro

When it is hot ･･･

In Kyoto, it is really sultry. Word "It was hot" was said 100 times today. Even the nature that all the abilities as man become 30% decrease is done on a hot day. As a result, it comes not to want to cook for oneself. Then, it is naturally drawn to the bakery in the vicinity.

The name of bakery where I defeated at the heat often go is said, "Marie France". It is in the close vicinity of the Doshisha University Shimmachi campus. The smell of fragrant bread does for it to pass beside the shop. It becomes feelings of a full stomach only because of this smell. The feature of bread here is that enough filling enters the bread. It is an appearance in inside of a store. The bread fresh from the oven is very delicious.

Cafe de Joule

Perhaps we can have this kind of information... because meka-shin is OTAKU :-)
well acutually it was the result what I wanted some stimulus for my declining of motivation.

So I went to the maid-cafe in Kyoto. The cafe's name is "Cafe de Joule", which is the first maid-cafe made in Kyoto, and the concept is military. Acutually this cafe is in 2nd floor, and the 1st floor is a regular military shop. For proof, it has an enormous sign with M16A2 painted on it.

Now I return to the cafe, not enter. There will be a standard greeting; "Okaerinasaimase! (Welcome back!)", then we will be guided to the table. Usually, every table is numbered as 1,2,3... but in here, it will be name as a platoon like "Phantom 1", "Lightning 2", etc... it is really strained on. Also there are some model-guns, if we request to the maid to take some pose, they will do it (but don't request so much though).

But I beg a favor of you. Do not take a photo in the cafe.
Because of the pictures which leaked out for just in case, the victim will be the employees who works at cafe as maids, and the responsibilities will be on the person who taken pictures, also on the other guest who didn't advise to stop it... and lastly, all the manufacturers and the publishers which builded the culture of OTAKU will be nuisanced...

I'll link the official website at the end, so check the menu at there.

Finally... this cafe will close the shutter on 6/30 (Sat), with the closure of the shop at the 1st floor.

So, if you have some interests, please hurry because its operation remained are only 1week. Maybe I'll be there because it's last.

Kyoto meisui Tale

Samegai with KameyaYoshinaga

Hi!

We have coverd about the 3 Kyoto water.

The 3 Kyoto water is Somei,Agatai and Samegai.

This report is written about the third serise of Kyoto with water,Samegai.

Samegai is located in Shijo-Horikawa and there is Japanese sweets factory now

It turned out that the water of Samegai is still pumped up from underground and is used for Yoshinaga's Japanese sweets.

Then, two persons of HIRO & Lawrence in which a character is quite deep have interviewed KameyaYoshinaga.

We have missed Kanji of Samegai!?

Let me show you Samegai now.

This is the Samegai well located in front of the Kameyayoshinaga.
Water floaating the bottom of this picture was pomped up from undreground.

We found the signboard of samegai!


Samegai existed next to the Kyoto Tokyu Hotel with diferent Kanji from now.
there is monument of　old Samegai.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now,we were interviewed to the representative director, Ms. Yoshimura.

HIRO＆Lawrence（HL）：How lonｇ did you use the Samegai water?

Ms.Yoshimura(Ms.Y):It since 1803.We're use tap water only Samegai well was withered when the construction of Hankyu line.16years ago,when this building was built we start to use Samegai well water again.

HL：Where is the origin of Samegai?

Ms.Y:This street next to our shop called "Samegai" is the place where water is beautiful.You can find the same name place at Shiga prefecture.Then,this water has same seawey of origin Samegai,we called this well Samegai.

We entered kameyayoshinaga,various sweets are welcomed us!

It seems very yummy!!!

The water without taste and the smell is delicious!!

HR : What kind of taste is this water?

Ms. Y: Water does not have taste and a smell. Would you like to drink the water?

<<HR drank the water…>>

HR : water does not have taste and a smell surely!!

Ms. Y : My boss says that I like that.

HR :Are all Japanese cakes made by the well-water?

Ms. Yoshimura : Yes. We make all Japanese cakes with the well-water.

HR go in the factory…!!

“Could I go in the factory that makes Japanese cakes?”

Hiro said that suddenly. But Ms. Yoshimura let us go in the factory that usually you can’t go in!!

All merchandises are made in the factory.

Of course, those are made elaborately.

When I went in there, craftsperson remade Japanese cake because they hadn’t been able to be satisfied with the crop of the Japanese cake.

We could interview the craftsperson who has made the Japanese cake for 40 years.

HR : The well-water stopped temporally that was used to make the Japanese cake from the establishment of a business. And The well-water is used again since 16 years ago. Are there differences between the well-water and city water?

The craftsperson : the well-water don’t have scents. It’s good for making the Japanese cake, because when I cook bean pastes, I use lots of water.

HR : How do the guests say about the Japanese cake?

The craftsperson : The guests say that the Japanese cake made by the well-water is better.

HR : If the well-water had run dry, how do you think?

The craftsperson : It is troubled.
The interior of the japanese-style confection is very deep.

Finally, I asked Ms. Yoshimura the japanese-style confection. HR: What is the most popular japanese-style confection?' Ms. Y: It is Ubatama. (photograph the below) Externals soberly have the deep-rooted popularity. It is a taste that doesn't change since the institution's formation.
Additionally, Sakuramochi (It is a cake of encompassed Japan in the leaf ofcherry blossoms) is popular among spring.
Mizuyoukan(soft adzuki-bean jelly) is popular among summer.
The cake of the chestnut is popular among autumn.
Hanabiramochi(It is one of the cakes of the tradition gotten in Kyoto only at the New Year.) is popular among winter.
It is a cake that feels all each season.
Moreover, there are a lot of people who become feelings "It is summer" when the cake to have fish's shape is served.
(The fish shows cool. )Therefore, the one that the season is felt is popular.
Moreover, there are a lot of people who become feelings "It is summer" when the cake to have fish's shape is served.
(The fish shows cool. )Therefore, the one that the season is felt is popular.

Ubatama has the smell of black sugar.　
It keeps shortly being made from establishment for 200 years. 　Moreover, the　Urasennkeiemoto prize (prize received from the grand tea master with a long and distinguished history) has been received in the nationwide cake exposition in 1989. 　It is a japanese-style confection that feels nostalgia somewhere.

HR:Please teach something to sticking to to the japanese-style confection. Ms. Y :The japanese-style confection is very deep though the person today tends to flow to western-style cakes. The japanese-style confection is made not only the season but also feeling it for the season and the season. There is a thing that can be used all the year round by changing the color because the japanese-style confection expresses the season by slight coloring, too. For instance, Kinton(It is a pastry made like the clothes moth of the chestnut straining bean jam. ) shows the red and white at the New Year. Spring is expressed in the pink of cherry blossoms. Summer is expressed in the purple of the hydrangea, and autumn is expressed in red of the autumn tint. Green of Kinton made in autumn is thick first. Red is gradually applied to the japanese-style confection. To the dead leaf color when becoming it in the vicinity in winter. White is put in winter. However, red is put commemorating the camellia flower during white. I think that expressing it rich like this is a point where the japanese-style confection is good. The new one wants to be good, and to value a traditional japanese-style confection. I want you to know not only eating the japanese-style confection but also significant. We can express our gratitude for it if eating thinking so. I think that the japanese-style confection goes out of use gradually if such feelings are not valued.
HR: Indeed,Is there wanting to say something at the end?
Ms. Y: If the PET bottle and the kettle are brought, the well water is put in. There are a lot of people who come to dip the well water many times at the summer time because tap water is stinky. Please come once.

Japanese cultual dance at pontotyo-kaburenzyo by geisya

It has been rainy for 2days. It was thunder yesterday.
My dog hates rainy days and thunder. So she was bad mood yesterday.

In the rain, I passed in front of Pontotyo-kaburenzyo.
There is Pontotyo-kaburenzyo in Pontotyo.
Pontotyo is one of five place that there are geisya girls.
Pontotyo-kaburenzyo were built in 1927.
You can watch Japanese cultural dance ”kamo river dance” in Pontotyo-kaburenzyo during May every year.
Of course, dancers are geisya girls.
That is why you see geisya girls in pontotyo in May very often.
Geisya girls are really beautiful.

And pontotyo-kaburen-kai(this is organization about pontotyo-kaburenzyo) raises the person who want to become geisya girl.
I’m surprised that they raise the person who want to become geisya girl by the internet.
If you were interested in that, I recommend checking the website.

Shower

Everyone today! Today Kyoto was fine weather. Day of clearing up is continued recently. It is feeling good weather, but it is to be very muggy. This year, I probably will sweat many.

It is fine every day recently. But, a shower fell today, and my foot was stopped. I like a feeling after the shower. How is everyone impressed? I like the state that the town which it stops raining through shines like a jewel. Do you begin to circle the tourist spot of Kyoto after the rain, and how is it?. One side of different Kyoto again may be able to see it.
