Along with Byodo-in Temple Ho-o-do (Phoenix Hall),
Chuson-ji Temple Konjiki-do (Golden Hall) is one of the most famous structures from the late
Heian period. It is a brilliant
Buddhist temple with a hall that is embossed with gold leaf on both the interior and exterior. It was built in
1124 by
Oshu Fujiwara-shi (the
Northern Fujiwara clan) as a corner of
Chuson-ji in Hiraizumi, Nishiiwai District, Iwate Prefecture. It is a small
Buddhist temple measuring about 5.5 meters on each side. It originally sat outdoors in the open air, but it is now enclosed in a wooden building that was built around it to prevent further deterioration.
Chuson-ji Temple Konjiki-do was listed as a
World Heritage Site in
2011. -

O Japão possui ao menos 14 locais reconhecidos como
Patrimônio Mundial pela
Unesco (Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação, Ciência e Cultura). Um destes pontos entrou na lista em junho passado:
Hiraizumi.
Hiraizumi é uma das muitas cidades com templos históricos do
Japão. Fundada no
século 12, era um centro político e comercial na região norte do arquipélago. A
Unesco reconheceu o legado da
família Fujiwara, que rivalizava
Kyoto, então capital, e estabeleceu uma central de poder com as melhores técnicas artísticas e arquitetônicas da época. O sinal mais significativo do passado de poder local é o
templo de Chusonji, com peças elaboradas de um rico design do auge de
Hiraizumi. Konjikido, literalmente traduzido como
Hall Dourado, foi a única estrutura original a sobreviver por guerras e incêndios.
Konjikido é toda coberta por folhas douradas por dentro e por fora, cheia de estátuas de
Buda no altar. Apesar e estar na região noroeste do Japão, felizmente não foi afetada pelo terremoto deste ano. -

Wreaths are used at Christmas time to decorate places like entrances to homes. Various theories offer explanations of wreath's origins: in terms of religious significance, the holly leaves may symbolize Christ's sufferings on the cross and the red berries the blood of Christ. Another theory is that evergreens were used to protect against evil due to their strong sterilizing and antibacterial effects, while the berries and ears of barley served as talismans promoting abundant harvests, making the original wreath something of a good-luck charm. Today, the wreath generally serves a merely decorative purpose. This Santa Claus wreath features an attractive, whimsical Santa Claus flying through the sky on Christmas Eve. - Canon

The Sovereign class is a class of Starfleet starship in the fictional Star Trek science fiction franchise. The Sovereign-class USS Enterprise-E was designed by Herman Zimmerman and illustrator John Eaves for Star Trek: First Contact. As of 2373, the Enterprise-E is the most advanced Starfleet ship to have been built, and is the Federation flagship as late as 2379. The Sovereign-class Enterprise has an elliptical saucer section attached to the central mass with two symmetrical nacelles running parallel to the main hull. The bridge, impulse engines, main shuttlebay, lifeboats, and phaser arrays are on the dorsal surface of the saucer section while additional phaser arrays, lifeboats, torpedo launchers, and the captain's yacht occupy the ventral side. The engineering section features the main navigational deflector, two large warp nacelles, the warp reactor, and torpedo launchers. The ship is armed with both photon torpedoes and quantum torpedoes. - Wikipedia
