My Favorite Archaeological Site In Japan

Secrets fill the garden. In Gail Tsukiyama’s novel “The Samurai’s Garden”, she uses metaphors to show the audience the garden and its’ curator in a mysterious light. Tsukiyama’s character Stephen gazes upon Matsu’s garden with wonder and amazement. He compares it to another world, “The garden is a world filled with secrets… Matsu’s garden whispers at you, never shouts; it leads you down a path hoping for more, as if everything is seen, yet hidden” (Samurai 31). Tsukiyama creates another world within the fences of the garden. She integrates the secrets of its’ caretaker into the aura of the garden. The metaphor to another world impacts the reader by allowing the reader to see the mystery and beauty that shrouds it. The cloak of beauty shows

In the book “The Samurai’s Garden” by Gail Tsukiyama, a common occurrence that appears in the book is comparisons of a certain character to an Samurai. Since even the title refers to Samurai it leaves the reader wondering, “Who is the real Samurai?” The book gives a lot of evidence for people to think that different characters could be the Samurai. The characters that people mainly think are the “real” Samurai are the main three characters, Stephen, Matsu, and Sachi. All of them carry traits of a Samurai, but at the same time there’s plenty of things to disprove most of them as being the Samurai. In the book Sachi does overcome a tragedy in her life that a lot of people would struggle with but

The discovery of the young King Tutankhamun’s tomb provided some insight on his life as a pharaoh. Tut’s tomb has been the only tomb that has been relatively untouched by tomb raiders, giving egyptologists so much more information than any other tomb in the Valley of Kings (Caselli 12-14). Egyptologist

The following report details the archaeological fieldwork conducted by New South Associates, Inc. for proposed widening and improvements along U.S. 158 in Forsyth and Guilford counties, North Carolina. The purpose of the survey was to identify and evaluate archaeological sites for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), within the proposed project area of potential effects (APE). This project was conducted for the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) (TIP R-2577ABC, State Project No. 37405). This is a state-funded project covered under a United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) individual permit. As such, the USACE serves as the lead federal agency and the work complies with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), as amended.

In any case, the disclosure of his tomb shot him into essentialness and significance in the cutting edge. The vast majority of the tombs of pharaohs have been plundered, so when King Tutankhamun's completely in place tomb was found, it was verifiably critical. His tomb was little, likely because of an unforeseen demise, yet loaded with a large number of fortunes. The tomb incorporated his in place entombment veil, pine boxes, and sarcophagus. The greater part of his entombment fortune was still in place, also, which was unbelievable for pharaoh tombs. His antiquities showed Egyptologists much about the tomb and entombment conventions of the period, and his relics frequently show up in exhibition halls of the world. As of late, the most sensitive things have been guarded inside Egypt's outskirts for

Japans history dates back almost 53,000 years and is filled with interesting and fascinating events. Most of Japans actions have left the major world powers in the world stunned. The base of this amazing country is astonishing just by itself. The base is a bunch of active and large under water volcanoes. Japans uniqueness from the rest of the world ranges from its culture to its very interesting history to the change in government every few hundred years and their trading dilemma with petroleum and their assortment of fish that they export. Japan as a country is so very appealing and kind compared to the rest of the world its no wonder that it’s geographically separate from the rest of the world.

Feudal Pyramids There are two major feudal pyramids in history. The Japanese Feudal Pyramid, and the Middle Age Feudal Pyramid. A feudal pyramid is sort of like a social structure, where it ranks by class. The Japanese and Middle Age feudal pyramids resemble that, and they have many similarities and differences. The Japanese Feudal Pyramid consists of 8 ranks, or levels.

The tomb was found under a stairway of a temple and it seemed as if the temple was built with the main purpose of enclosing the tomb. Inside they found hieroglyphic panels that offer new clues about the legendary “Snake Dynasty” and a male corpse that must have been prominent during his time. Beside his remains are the bones of a jaguar and a deer, 13 obsidian blades, 36 ceramic vessels and six jade beads. In another

In every walk with nature one receives far more than one seeks. The Samurai’s Garden is a book that encompasses the beauty and importance of the natural world through many individuals’ experiences. Tsukiyama expresses the belief that humans need help from an outside force, so that they can be relieved from their grief and misery. In the novel, The Samurai’s Garden, Gail Tsukiyama conveys the theme that in order to heal, people need nature; she accomplishes this through her use of Sachi, Matsu, and Stephen.

The one and only tomb that still has much of the treasure and is still mostly undamaged is the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun or King Tut, the

The site is dated to around 3,900 BC, in the Middle of the Jomon Period, a period where Japan was primarily occupied

Okinawa is surrounded by beautiful white beaches that is blinding in the sun. However, the warmth of the sand under your feet and the little fine textured pieces of sand would be squishy in between your toes. Further out into the ocean it is crisp and clear, and you’re able to see the fish clearly as they swim around and between your legs. The warmth of the sun and the tepid water rushing in over the body felt refreshing. Water activities in Okinawa consisted of snorkeling and deep sea diving. It is relaxing to swim amongst some of the most magnificent sea creatures. Other hobbies were fishing and spelunking, which is cave exploration. It is an interesting hobby because, of not knowing what you will find. For instance, one particular cave I explored I remember finding broken eyeglasses, old shoes, medicine bottles and various other articles. Some caves had more than one level, they were deep and wide it was amazing. It is important to know that spelunking can be dangerous because, of the integrity of the cave and the floor it could be compromised and also the poisonous creatures that reside in them. Even knowing the danger involved it was worth it, for the experience, exercise and the thrill of the

According to the Japanese Ministry of Justice and Japan Tourism Agency, the amount of Japanese humans that traveled overseas in 2015 has increased more than four times the amount in 1980. Furthermore, according to Value create (a company in Japan) almost 70% of the people living in Japan has gone over seas. As you can identify from these researches it is becoming easier to travel to other countries and see different cultures. There are many options for travelling in the world as each culture has a beneficial aspect. Countries in the Americas are especially popular as they have had a strong relationship with Japan since the World War 2.

Sannai-Maruyama site is an archaeological site in Aomori, Aomori Prefecture, Japan from the Jomon period. The people who lived here first settled around 3900 BC and the evidence on site shows that they lived in pit houses that had about a 3-4 meter diameter. Archaeologists have found over 500 pits on site since excavation started in 1992 (1). In addition, archaeologists have discovered underground pits that were believed to be used as food storage. However, around 2900 BC, the storage of food changed. Instead of using the underground pits, they began to build above ground structures designed to store the food. Archaeologists believe that this change is the transitional stage where the Jomon people went from a hunter-gatherer group to more

Hello, Chyler! I think my personal favorite work of Ando (Utagawa) Hiroshige is “Sanno Festival Procession at Kojimachi I-chome” (picture below). This woodblock print is just 1 of 118 different woodblock print making up Hiroshige’s “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo,” which is considered “one of the greatest achievements of Japanese art” by the Brooklyn Museum (“Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo”). “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo” is a collection of woodblock prints, created between the years of 1856-1858, that focused on the landscape of Tokyo, Japan. Hiroshige is famous for his landscape prints and this project did not disappoint (“ANDO HIROSHIGE BIOGRAPHY”). It is full of beautiful scenery and colorful pictures. I have left a link
