A Chronology of All 113 Prints of Hokusai’s The Great Wave

A few years ago, a researcher looked at every surviving print of Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa that she could find (113 in all) and, using differences caused by “woodblock wear”, developed a system for determining if a particular print was made early in the life of the woodblocks used, late, or somewhere in-between. Did you know there are 113 identified copies of Hokusai’s The Great Wave. I know the title says 111, but scientist Capucine…Kamakura · Kamakura Read Article

The Dancing Chanting of Buddhist Prayers Accompanied by Beating Drums, "Ippen Shonin," Also Began by Steadily Handing Out Wooden Plaques.

August 23rd, 1289, the second year of the Shoo era, is the anniversary of Ippen Shonin's death. In 2013, there was news that the "Wooden Standing Statue of Ippen Shonin," a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, had been burned down, so some of you may have a vague memory of this. He was born in 1239, so he was exactly 50 years old when he died (51 years old by the traditional Japanese age reckoning). A new world of survival of the f…Kamakura · Kamakura Read Article

Who Built the Great Buddha of Kamakura and Why? Why Does It Sit Outside Instead of Inside the Building?

Why is it so big? Why does it sit outside? Kamakura has suddenly become the center of attention following the broadcast of the historical drama "The 13 Lords of Kamakura," and the Great Buddha of Kamakura is a particularly striking figure. Not only is it visually impactful, but it has a profound history, having continued to carve out an eternal legacy for approximately 800 years since its consecration, and many people are sure to be curious as t…Kamakura · Kamakura Read Article

Why Has Hojo Masako Been Portrayed so Differently over the Years? the Changing Reputation of the "Nun Shogun"

Some may have an image of Hojo Masako as a villainous woman who wielded power in place of her late husband, Minamoto no Yoritomo, and manipulated the vassals of the Kamakura shogunate. In fact, since the start of the taiga drama "The 13 Lords of the Kamakura" (The 13 Lords of the Kamakura) a certain online news article about her feud with Yae has repeatedly emphasized her as a "scary woman." ◆ The 13 Lords of the Kamakura: "The Battle of Women …Kamakura · Kamakura Read Article

What Kind of Woman Was Tsujidono, the Wife of Yoriie and Mother of Kugyo? Her Grandfather Was the Legendary Warrior, Minamoto No Tametomo

Minamoto no Yoritomo's successor was Minamoto no Yoriie. As you know, he was the second shogun of the Kamakura shogunate, and his death anniversary was August 14, 1204 (July 18, 1st year of the Genkyu era). In the historical drama "The 13 Lords of Kamakura," he is portrayed as a somewhat incompetent character, which is perhaps understandable. Historically, after Yoritomo's death, a power struggle erupted among the vassals in Kamakura, a situatio…Kamakura · Kamakura Read Article

What Was the Life of Miyoshi Yasunobu, the Man Who Inspired Yoritomo to Rise up in Arms, and the Rational Civil Servant Who Supported the Kamakura Shogunate?

August 9th, 1221 (Jokyu 3) marks the death anniversary of Miyoshi Yasunobu. He served Minamoto no Yoritomo from long ago, and was a walking encyclopedia of the Kamakura Shogunate, having witnessed the Jokyu War all the way through. He was played by Kobayashi Takashi in the historical drama "The 13 Lords of the Kamakura", but to be honest, he was not a glamorous military commander like Hatakeyama Shigetada, and was a rather unassuming type, with …Kamakura · Kamakura Read Article

Why Did Samurai Commit Seppuku? a Look at the Impact of Harakiri on the Japanese Spirituality

In a foreign B-movie I saw a long time ago, there was a seppuku room in a Yakuza mansion. If one of his subordinates failed, the boss would make them commit seppuku right there and then. I had to laugh bitterly at the thought that there was no need to commit seppuku for such a trivial reason, but I also thought that foreigners have the image that "Japanese people make people commit seppuku all the time." To be honest, this is unpleasant. I don't…Spirituality · Kamakura Read Article
