Himeji Castle, in Japan - by Kids Net - Castelo Himeji, no Japão
The Real Thing |
Himeji Castle dates to 1333, when Akamatsu Norimura built a fort on top of Himeyama hill. The fort was dismantled and rebuilt as Himeyama Castle in 1346, and then remodeled into Himeji Castle two centuries later. Himeji Castle was then significantly remodeled in 1581 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who added a three-story castle keep. In 1600, Tokugawa Ieyasu awarded the castle to Ikeda Terumasa for his help in the Battle of Sekigahara, and Ikeda completely rebuilt the castle from 1601 to 1609, expanding it into a large castle complex. Several buildings were later added to the castle complex by Honda Tadamasa from 1617 to 1618. For over 400 years, Himeji Castle has remained intact, even throughout the extensive bombing of Himeji in World War II, and natural disasters such as the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake.
Himeji Castle is the largest and most visited castle in Japan, and it was registered in 1993 as one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country. The area within the middle moat of the castle complex is a designated Special Historic Site and five structures of the castle are also designated National Treasures. Along with Matsumoto Castle and Kumamoto Castle, Himeji Castle is considered one of Japan's three premier castles. In order to preserve the castle buildings, it is currently undergoing restoration work that is expected to continue for several years. - Wikipedia
The Main Tower, Inspiration For This Paper Model |
Em 1580, Toyotomi Hideyoshi tomou controle do maltratado castelo, e Kuroda Yoshitaka construiu uma torre com três andares. Depois da Batalha de Sekigahara, em 1601, Tokugawa Ieyasu concedeu o Castelo de Himeji a Ikeda Terumasa, o qual empreendeu um projeto de expansão que duraria nove anos, o qual trouxe ao castelo, podemos dizer, a sua forma atual. "Apenas o portão Este de uma secção da segunda muralha" sobrevive do periodo anterior . As últimas adições principais, o Circulo Ocidental, foi concluído em 1618.
A 1761 Depiction Of The Castle Complex |
Quando se aboliu o sistema han, em 1871, o castelo foi vendido em leilão por um valor de 23 yenes (actualmente 153 dólares). No entanto, o custo de desmantelar o castelo era altíssimo, e como resultado o complexo foi abandonado.
O Décimo Regimento de Infantaria ocupou o conjunto em 1874 e o Ministério da Guerra tomou controle deste em 1879. A torre principal foi restaurada em 1910, com o custo de 90.000 yenes retirados dos fundos públicos. A cidade de Himeji foi bombardeada em 1945, no final da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Apesar de a maior parte da área circundante ter sido completamente incendiada, o castelo sobreviveu sem sofrer danos, à excepção de alguns impactos das explosões nas redondezas.
Os esforços para restaurar o castelo começaram em 1956, e durante o processo foram usados, apenas, equipamentos e métodos comuns a época de sua construção, tendo o restauro ficado concluído em 1964.

Toba Batak House - by Julius Perdana - Paper-Replika
The Toba Batak traditionally believe that they originate from one ancestor "Si Raja Batak", with all Margas, descended from him. A family tree that defines the father-son relationship among Batak people is called tarombo. In contemporary Indonesia Batak people have a strong focus on education and a prominent position within the professions, particularly as teachers, engineers, doctors and lawyers. Toba Batak are known traditionally for their weaving, wood carving and especially ornate stone tombs. - Julius Perdana
The Toba Batak houses are known for their harmonious shapes and be constructed without using nails or screws and yet everything fits perfectly.
The Real Thing |
Os Batak são uma das etnias da Indonésia, que habitam a região central do Norte da Sumatra, em volta do lago Toba.
Os cinco grupos em que se dividem, com culturas e alfabetos próprios, são:
Batak Toba, Batak Karo, Batak Simalungun, Batak Angkola e Batak Pakpak Dairi.
Suas habitações tradicionais se destacam por suas belas formas e por serem construídas sem o uso de pregos ou parafusos, tudo se encaixa harmoniosamente, com perfeição.

The Lone Ranger Frontier Town - by Thrilling Days.Com
In 1948, I listened with great anticipation to The Lone Ranger radio program as the announcer, Fred Foy, said, "In celebration of the 15th year of this program you can get your very own model of the Lone Ranger Frontier Town. With this offer you can follow the adventures of The Lone Ranger and Tonto."
The next day I flew on my bike to the First National grocery store. Standing in the cereal aisle I searched for the Cheerios boxes. There they were! I turned a box over and there were the frontier buildings just waiting to be cut out and assembled. It was box numbered 3 of 9 different box backs. I checked out other boxes and all 9 were there. What luck! Another bike trip home to convince my mother that it was imperative to get all 9 boxes immediately. She agrees! Back again to the store to purchase all 9 boxes of Cheerios ($.12 abox!). Rushing home, I quickly emptied all the boxes into a large bowl. I ended up eating Cheerios for weeks, but it was worth it!
Four more sections, each with a map and additional buildings (71 pieces in all), had to be sent for separately with a dime and a Cheerios box top. Luckily I now had plenty of those. When assembled the four base maps covered nearly 15 square feet of floor space. For weeks afterward the Lone Ranger radio show featured stories located in the Frontier Town and I could see right where it was all taking place - a truly spectacular radio premium! - Richard, aka Kemo Sabe
Em 1948, eu ouvia com grande expectativa o programa de rádio do Lone Ranger, ou Cavaleiro Solitário, quando o locutor Fred Foy, disse: "Em comemoração ao 15 º ano deste programa você pode obter o seu próprio modelo da Lone Ranger Frontier Town . Com esta oferta você pode acompanhar as aventuras de The Lone Ranger e Tonto ".
No dia seguinte eu voei com minha bicicleta ao supermercado First National. Em pé no corredor dos cereais, procurei as caixas de Cheerios e então, lá estavam elas! Olhei a parte traseira de uma embalagem e lá estavam os edifícios da cidadezinha, me esperando para serem cortados e montados. eram nove caixas diferentes para completar a cidade. Eu verifiquei outras caixas e todos as nove estavam lá. Que sorte! Outro passeio de bicicleta para casa para convencer minha mãe que era um caso de vida ou morte comprar as 9 caixas imediatamente. Ela concordou! Corri de volta à loja para comprar todas as nove caixas de Cheerios (à doze centavos de dollar cada caixa!). Correndo para casa, eu rapidamente esvaziei todas as caixas em uma tigela grande. Acabei comendo Cheerios por semanas, mas valeu a pena!
Faltavam mais quatro seções, cada uma com um mapa e edifícios adicionais (71 peças no total), que eram enviados pelo correio, separadamente: você tinha que mandar uma carta com uma moeda de dez centavos e uma aba de tampa de Cheerios. Felizmente eu já tinha muito dessas. Consegui reunir assim os quatro mapas , que ocupavam mais ou menos 2 metros quadrados de espaço.. Por semanas , o show de radio do Lone Ranger apresentava histórias que se passavam na Frontier Town e eu podia ver exatamente onde tudo acontecia - um prémio de rádio verdadeiramente espectacular! - Richard, aka Kemo Sabe

Nikko Tosho-gu Shrine - by Kids Net - Santuário Japônes
The Real Thing |
To create a worthy shrine for the shogun, 15,000 craftsman worked for two years, using 2.5 million sheets of gold leaf. The enshrinement of Ieyasu's spirit is reenacted twice each year in the Procession of the Thousand Warriors.
Unlike most Shinto shrines, characterized by minimalist architecture that blends into its surroundings, Toshogu is a riot of color, gold, and carvings, with birds and flowers, dancing maidens, and sages following one another around the buildings. Some visitors find the shrine awe-inspiring and beautiful; others are repelled by the gaudiness. In contrast to the exuberance of the shrine, Ieyasu's mausoleum itself is relatively simple and austere.
One of the most famous elements of Toshogu is the Sacred Stable, where a white imperial horse is kept (a gift of New Zealand). The stable's fame derives from the original carving depicting the three wise monkeys, "Hear no evil, Speak no evil, See no evil." Other famous carvings at Toshogu include a sleeping cat and an odd rendering of an elephant by an artist who had apparently never seen one. - sacred-destinations.com
The Three Wise Monkeys |
O Nikko Toshogu é um desses lugares que precisam ser vistos pessoalmente para se poder sentir a grandiosidade de todo o conjunto de suas construções. E também por causa das suas minuciosas obras. Em todo o templo existem nada menos que 5.173 esculturas, sendo que algumas se tornaram célebres. A maioria dos visitantes japoneses já sabem o que querem ver em especial, e ficam procurando avidamente pelas esculturas de três macacos e de um gato.
The Sleeping Cat |
A outra escultura que causa sensação é a Nemurineko, a que mostra um gato dormindo. Ela fica no portal da escadaria de acesso ao túmulo de Ieyasu e também simboliza o estado de paz, a ponto de o bichano poder tirar uma soneca tranquilo, recebendo a luz do sol.
Ieyasu Tokugawa (1543-1616) quis que o seu corpo ficasse no templo Kunoo-San Toshogu, em Shizuoka, no primeiro ano após a sua morte e depois fosse transferido para Nikko. O filho e sucessor Hidetada fez cumprir a sua vontade, criando o templo xintoísta Nikko Toshogu, em 1617, para venerá-lo como uma divindade. Durante o governo do terceiro xogum, o neto Iemitsu, os principais prédios do santuário foram construídos, e inaugurados no ano de 1636. - curtindoojapao.com
