L'inverno potrebbe non essere il periodo più gettonato per visitare il Giappone, ciononostante in questo episodio cercheremo di convincervi del contrario! Innanzitutto è meno affollato, i voli costano meno, inoltre ci sono alcuni eventi spettacolari che si tengono solo in questo periodo! Eventi 2&3 dicembre Chichibu Yomaturi : è un festival notturno che si tiene a Chichibu (Saitama), dove le persone trainano splendidi carri per le vie della la città, mentre il kabuki viene eseguito all'interno dei carri! Collegamento da Tokyo: prendendo la linea Seibu Ikebukuro da Ikebukuro si arriva alla stazione di Seibu Chichibu in circa 90 minuti. Oppure, da Kumagaya si può prendere la linea Chichibu e si raggiunge la stazione di Chichibu in circa 90 minuti. Vigilia di Capodanno Jyoya no Kane: si riferisce alla tradizione del suono delle campane durante la notte di Capodanno nei templi di tutto il Giappone.A Tokyo il Tsukiji Honganji è uno dei più famosi. Nel pomeriggio del 31 si tiene una messa e successivamente, verso le 23 inizia il coinvolgente suono delle campane. Nel pomeriggio del 31 ci sarà una messa poi verso le 23 inizierà il suono delle campane. A Kyoto invece il più conosciuto si tiene al Chionin (zona Higashiyama). Dopo la messa, tutti possono partecipare, quindi preparati per fare la fila. Hadaka Matsuri (Festa del nudo): ci sono vari Hadaka Matsuri durante l'inverno ma il più famoso è probabilmente quello di Saidaiji a Okayama. Circa 10.000 uomini nudi in mawashi  “combattono" per afferrare i due preziosi alberi i quali vengono fatti cadere dalla sala principale del tempio. Si tiene il 3° sabato di febbraio. Sapporo Snow Festival: il più grande festival invernale di Hokkaido con le sue varie sculture di neve. Periodo: 4-11 Feb 2024 Quello che abbiamo visitato noi questo inverno Snow monkey park (Nagano): il famoso parco nazionale al cui interno si trovano le vasche termali frequentate dai macachi giapponesi. Si può raggiungere in autobus dalla stazione di Yudanaka. Shirakawago (Gifu): sito patrimonio mondiale dell'Unesco noto per le tipiche case Gassho Zukuri, uniche nel loro genere. Raggiungibile in autobus da Kanazawa o da Nagoya Siti termali che vale la pena visitare in inverno Nyuto Onsen (Akita): conosciuta per l'unicità della sua acqua color latte. Da Tokyo si deve cambiare Shinkansen a Sendai e successivamente scendere alla stazione di Tazawako. Da lì dista circa un'ora di autobus. Ginzan Onsen (Yamagata): rinomata per le sue bellissime strutture in legno dallo stile retrò. Da Tokyo si deve prendere il Yamagata Shinkansen fino alla stazione di Oishida. Da lì un viaggio in autobus di circa 40 minuti. Echigoyuzawa Onsen (Niigata): una delle zone più innevate del Giappone ma le strutture sono molto facili da raggiungere. Da Tokyo si raggiunge con circa un'ora di Shinkansen. Siti sciistici Echigoyuzawa Onsen (Niigata): ha uno degli accessi più facili al sito termale nonché alle piste da sci! La maggior parte delle piste offre il bus navetta gratuito dalla stazione. Hakuba (Nagano): uno dei siti sciistici più famosi, conosciuto per le olimpiadi del 1998. Dalla stazione di Nagano ci sono vari autobus che portano alle piste in circa un'ora. Niseko(Hokkaido): sito sciistico molto popolare e alla moda. Particolarmente frequentato dagli stranieri. Dall'aeroporto di Shin Chitose si raggiunge con circa 2 ore di autobus. Cosa mangiare in inverno Per Natale il pollo fritto del KFC e la torta di fragole. Per Capodanno Soba (noodles di grano saraceno) Durante le vacanze di Capodanno l'Osechi (pietanze chevengono disposte all'interno di eleganti scatole) Pesce palla, granchi, ostriche e buri (ricciola giapponese) Yuzu Mochi e Oshiruko (zuppa dolce di fagioli rossi servita con mochi) Oden (composto da diversi ingredienti come: uova sode, daikon, konjac e fish cakes stufati in un brodo di dashi leggero e aromatizzato alla soia) Il mio posto preferito per mangiare Oden a Tokyo è: Nihonbashi Otako

In her recent monograph, Assembling Shinto: Buddhist Approaches to Kami Worship in Medieval Japan (Harvard University Asia Center, 2017), Anna Andreeva focuses on a complex network of religious sites, figures, and texts to help us better understand the way in which Japanese deities were worshipped in medieval Japan. In so doing, she illuminates the medieval stages of a process that led to what was later called Shinto, and adds to the growing body of scholarship that challenges the relatively recent idea that Shinto is simply the native religion of Japan, unchanged since ancient times. To tackle such a grand undertaking, Andreeva focuses on a mountain in central Japan called Mt. Miwa as well as on Ise, the location of the Ise shrines and the abode of the most important imperial deity. Beginning with the significance of Mt. Miwa as a religious site for pre-ninth-century Japanese rulers, Andreeva charts the decline of this mountain's importance during the eighth-to-twelfth centuries and the subsequent revival of the site during the thirteenth century by non-elite practitioners of esoteric Buddhism stationed at small Miwa temples and by the Saidaiji lineage under the direction of the Buddhist monk Eison and his disciples. Continuing chronologically, she then shows how the thirteenth-century revival led some time later to the emergence of the so-called Miwa-ryu Shinto, an eclectic tradition which spread to different regions of Japan and whose influence continued until the early nineteenth century. Central to Andreeva's project is the world of Japanese esoteric Buddhist thought and ritual, for it was in this setting that the Japanese deities could be transformed from beings characterized by ignorance and desire into embodiments of Buddhist awakening. Throughout the book Andreeva addresses many religious elements, Japanese and not, that were incorporated into esoteric Buddhist traditions active at Mt. Miwa and Ise. These include the incorporation of deities from ancient Japanese mythology into medieval legends and esoteric ritual, serpentine and dragon imagery, initiation rites modeled on the enthronement of a king, pilgrimage, and the use of royal symbolism. In addition, she provides a number of detailed descriptions of rituals and translations of liturgical and exegetical works. The book's topic is very complex: Andreeva has opted out of the usual approach, which would be to trace the development of a single figure, text, idea, or institution. This makes the project far more difficult for the researcher, but has the invaluable advantage that it allows the reader to perceive and appreciate the fascinating networks that show how medieval Japanese religion actually existed and developed on the ground. Beyond its importance for understanding Japanese Buddhist intellectual history, esoteric Buddhist thought and ritual, and the development of Shinto, the book also serves as an example of how to study the intricate social, economic, and geographical networks that lie behind the development of religious ideas, practices, and institutions.
