Kaminarimon Gate Of Senso-Ji Temple Paper Model - by Canon

Model Assembled and Photos by Nice Café

The Real Thing

Kaminarimon Gate marks the entrance to Senso-ji Temple, a temple located in Tokyo's Taito City. The gate's official name is Furaijinmon ("Wind and Thunder God Gate"), and the Japanese wind and thunder gods are enshrined in the left and right sides of the gate. A huge lantern measuring 3.3 m in diameter and 3.9 m in height, with a weight of 700 kg, hangs in the center of the gate. Built by Taira-no-Kinmasa in the year 942, the gate was moved to its current location during the Kamakura period (1192-1333). The wind and thunder gods, enshrined when the gate was relocated, were first enshrined to protect from calamities, but they eventually came to be regarded as bringers of peace and plentiful harvests. Kaminarimon Gate has been destroyed three times by fires, and in 1960 it was rebuilt for the first time in 95 years. It is now considered a representative structure of the Asakusa area. - Canon - I want to thank Nice Café website for the beautiful images of the assembled model that ilustrate this post.

O templo de Sensoji, também conhecido como Asakusa Kannon, foi fundado no ano 645, sendo o mais antigo de Tóquio. Cada ano, cerca de 20 milhões de pessoas visitam esse templo, construído em homenagem à deusa Kannon. A Kaminarimon (Porta do Trovão) dá acesso à rua Nakamise Dori, um bulevar comercial com mais de 90 pontos-de-venda que leva o visitante até Hozomon (Porta do Tesouro), a entrada principal do templo. Nessa via comercial, você poderá comprar uma infinidade de produtos típicos, tais como: osembe (o famoso biscoito japonês), hachimaki (fita típica para a cabeça), kimonos e souvenires dos mais variados tipos. No recinto do templo de Sensoji, também poderá ver o O-koro, um grande incensório. De acordo com a tradição, a fumaça desse incensório fortalece os fracos e cura os doentes. Se sobrar um tempinho, aproveite para ver o Demboin, um verdadeiro oásis de tranqüilidade e espiritualidade em forma de jardim. - E-Dreams - Eu quero agradecer ao site Nice Café pelas belas imagens do modelo montado que ilustram este post.

1880`s Steam Locomotive Yoshitsune Paper Model - by Hiroshi Chiba - via West Japan Railway Company

The JGR Class 7100 was a Japanese steam locomotive which was first used in Hokkaido, upon the establishment of the government-sponsored Horonai Railway in 1880. The locomotives were imported from the United States. The locomotives were produced by the American company H. K. Porter, Inc. Two were purchased in 1880 (Nos. 368, 369), two more in 1882 (Nos. 487, 488), one in 1884 (No. 643), one in 1885 (No. 672), and two more in 1889 (Nos. 1009, 1010), for a total of eight. Six of the locomotives were named after major historical or literary figures in 1889, at the suggestion of the Japanese Consul of New York City, Takagi Saburō, who found appeal in the similar practice seen in the United States at the time. Thus, the six became known as Yoshitsune, Benkei, Hirafu, Mitsukuni, Nobuhiro, and Shizuka. - wikipedia

The Real Thing - Restaured

A classe JGR 7100 era uma locomotiva a vapor japonesa, que foi usada pela primeira vez em Hokkaido, quando da criação da Ferrovia Horonai Railway em 1880. As locomotivas foram importadas dos Estados Unidos. elas foram produzidas pela empresa americana HK Porter, Inc. Duas foram compradas em 1880 (n. º s 368, 369), mais duas em 1882 (n. º s 487, 488), uma em 1884 (n º 643), uma em 1885 (n º 672), e mais dois em 1889 (n. º s 1009, 1010),num total de oito. Seis das locomotivas receberam nomes de grandes figuras históricas ou literárias em 1889, por sugestão do cônsul japonês de New York City, Takagi Saburō, que tirou a idéia de prática semelhante vista nos Estados Unidos da época. Assim, seis delas se tornaram conhecidas como Yoshitsune, Benkei, Hirafu, Mitsukuni, Nobuhiro, e Shizuka.

Aogashima Island Paper Model - by HCC Craft

A couple of hundred miles to the south of Tokyo in the Philippine Sea lies the island of Aogashima. Administered by Tokyo and part of the Izu Archipelago, the island’s 205 inhabitants (2009) enjoy a type of solitude that many will never experience. This island is known for having a volcanic caldera within a larger caldera, which makes the island’s unique shape resemble a tropical scene from the set of Jurassic Park or Lost. Only accessible by boat or helicopter, one could end up trapped here pretty easily if the seas get rough or a tropical storm makes its way in. - read more at unusualplaces.org/aogashima-island/

The Real Thing

Quando alguém fala do Japão, a primeira imagem que vem a cabeça são os personagens multicoloridos de mangá, as luzes de neon piscante do centro de Tóquio, as ruas lotadas de pedestres. O caos, em suma. Mas tem um local que contraria esse estereótipo de falta de espaço e muita correria. A paradisíaca e surreal ilha de Aogashima: um imenso vulcão com um vilarejo e outro vulcão menor dentro. Tudo isso jogado na imensidão do Oceano Pacífico. - leia mais em Galileo - Aogashima, a ilha mais fantástica do Japão
