Mateo 28:20.Hachiko era un perro de la raza akita que vivía con su dueño en Tokio, en Japón. El dueño, el profesor Ueno, todos los días tomaba el tren en la estación para ir a la universidad. El perrito le hacía compañía desde la puerta de la casa hasta la estación. Caminaban, lado a lado, como amigos. Cuando el profesor estaba por llegar nuevamente a la casa, Hachiko, que era un perro muy inteligente, se iba a la estación a esperar a que su dueño llegara.Cuando su dueño falleció, el perro se puso triste. Lo llevaron a otra parte de la ciudad, para vivir con parientes del profesor Ueno, pero ¿sabes qué hizo Hachiko? Comenzó a huir de la casa e ir solo hasta la estación de tren, para esperar, como siempre lo hacía, a que su dueño llegara del trabajo. Siguió esta costumbre, año tras año, siempre a la hora en que solía llegar su dueño.Esta historia emocionante nos enseña acerca de la lealtad y la compañía. Claro que el dueño de Hachiko no bajaría más del tren, pero es increíble ver cómo un animalito puede sentir la falta de alguien y demostrar que disfrutaba de la compañía de esa persona.Ojalá podamos ser buenas compañías y elegir estar al lado de quien nos hace bien, nos hacen sentir confianza y felices.Mi oración: Señor, quiero ser una persona agradable, leal y amigable. Te agradezco porque sé que estás conmigo todos los días.Hagan una lista con tu familia de cómo pueden ser buenas compañías los unos para con los otros. Pongan la lista en la puerta de la heladera o en otro lugar donde todos la puedan ver.

Mentre nella prima parte Francesco ci ha narrato la battaglia di Sekigahara, in questa seconda parte scopriremo come il risultato di quello scontro abbia plasmato i successivi 270 anni della storia giapponese, dall'ascesa alla carica di Shogun del clan Tokugawa, fino alla creazione della Repubblica di Ezo, breve esperimento repubblicano giapponese.Data la quantità di argomenti trattati, questa seconda parte risulterà meno lineare della precedente, ma assumerà i tratti di una vera chiacchierata, a cui spero vivamente vogliate partecipare nei commenti.La trascrizione è disponibile sul sito:https://www.podcastdelloshogun.itCerca il podcast sui social!https://www.facebook.com/podcastdelloshogunhttps://www.instagram.com/podcastdelloshogun/https://www.tiktok.com/@podcastdelloshogun---Mi trovi anche su Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/18pSpwnHNWevxRPaFpXh26Su Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-dello-shogun/id1649546421Su Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@PodcastDelloShogunSu Spreaker:https://www.spreaker.com/show/podcast-dello-shogun---Se desideri sostenere il podcast, puoi farlo in due modi:- Tramite ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/podcastdelloshogun- Tramite Paypal: https://paypal.me/podcastdelloshogunFonti:SAMURAI - LA GUERRA DELL'ANNO DEL DRAGO, LA CADUTA DELLO SHOGUNATO E LA RESTAURAZIONE MEIJIpodcastdelloshogun.itfrancescodei.comImmagine:La battaglia di Ueno#podcast #podcastitalia #francescodei #samurai #shogun #japanese #giappone #giapponese #japan #storia #history #storiagiappone #storiagiapponese #guerra #culturagiapponese #giapponefeudale #culturaorientale #letteratura #letteraturagiapponese #shinobi #shinobinomono #sengokujidai #sengoku #tokugawa #toyotomi #oda #ninja #podshogun

There is a new sake book on the market: SAKE: The Art and Craft of Japan's National Drink written by no other Yoshiko UENO-Müller, founder of Ueno Gourmet, Sake Samurai, and acclaimed Sake Educator (among her many other titles). Join hosts Cindy Bissig and Frank Walter as they chat with Yoshiko-san and delve into what inspired her to write her second book, her passion for sake, and what brought her into the fascinating world of sake in the first place.  Not a “coffee table book” but a “sake table book”, it is not just for sake lovers, but will also appeal to Japan fans, and gourmets alike providing a unique perspective into the world of Japanese sake and the communities surrounding it. Overflowing with beautiful imagery, it's as much a visual treat as it is an informative read. We'll chat about what makes this book so special as we dive into the 3 parts of it. In Part 1 - Origins, we discover the history and cultural roots of sake. In Part 2 - we learn how Japan's unique landscapes and sake artisans shape this craft, and in Part 3 - Yoshiko-san takes us on a journey to explore sake's role in gastronomy. So whether you're a sake connoisseur or a curious beginner, this episode is the perfect guide to deepen your appreciation for Japan's national drink. For anyone curious about Yoshiko UENO-Müller and her company Ueno Gourmet, make sure to check out her Instagram, as well as her online shop here.

Aujourd'hui, nous allons plonger dans une histoire touchante de loyauté et de dévotion. Préparez-vous à rencontrer Hachikō, le chien le plus fidèle du Japon. Nous sommes en 1924, à Tokyo. Hachikō, un chien de race Akita, est adopté par Hidesaburō Ueno, un professeur à l'Université de Tokyo. Rapidement, un rituel se met en place : chaque matin, Hachikō accompagne son maître jusqu'à la gare de Shibuya, et chaque soir, il revient pour l'attendre. Ce rituel simple mais symbolique témoigne d'un lien fort entre l'homme et son fidèle compagnon. La scène se répète quotidiennement pendant plus d'un an. Mais un jour de mai 1925, la tragédie frappe. Le professeur Ueno meurt subitement d'une hémorragie cérébrale pendant son travail. Il ne reviendra jamais à Shibuya. Pourtant, Hachikō continue d'attendre. Jour après jour, il revient à la gare, à l'heure précise où son maître aurait dû rentrer. Il devient rapidement une figure familière pour les voyageurs et les habitants du quartier, qui se prennent d'affection pour ce chien solitaire. Pendant dix longues années, Hachikō se rend à la gare de Shibuya, espérant toujours revoir son maître bien-aimé. Les habitants du quartier, touchés par sa fidélité, commencent à le nourrir et à le protéger. En 1932, un journaliste raconte son histoire dans un article qui attire l'attention du pays tout entier. Hachikō devient alors un symbole national de loyauté et de persévérance, inspirant même des œuvres littéraires et des films. Le 8 mars 1935, Hachikō est retrouvé mort à son poste d'attente, à la gare de Shibuya. Sa mort marque la fin de cette histoire poignante, mais son héritage perdure. Une statue en bronze est érigée en son honneur à la gare, à l'endroit exact où il attendait, devenant un lieu de pèlerinage pour les Japonais et les touristes du monde entier. Hachikō nous rappelle la beauté des liens entre les êtres vivants, et la profondeur de l'attachement que l'on peut ressentir pour ceux qu'on aime. Son histoire est un véritable hommage à la fidélité, et elle continue d'émouvoir les gens à travers les générations. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

1.紀錄一下此行在東京最後一晚的住宿。2021年8月開業，我在2022年8月住過他御徒町的分店，留下深刻印象。這次再度入住。 上野曼迪尊貴公寓酒店 (MONday Apart Premium UENO) https://reurl.cc/lglj6j 2.我撐到兩天前訂的，和我上次入住理由一樣，我想找一間相對大間的房間方便整理行李（大家應該有看到他們從輕井澤搞了大袋小袋的回來吧）。結果我找到兩間30平米有上下舖的房間，我們家兩大兩中行李攤平在地上整理都沒問題。一人一晚約一萬日幣，我和姊姊兩家人，一間住四人，一間住三人，共七萬多日幣。在Agoda訂的，同樣條件比官網便宜。我又被Agoda救了一次！ 3.五十吋互動電視，還有迷你廚房和洗衣機。甚至還有BALMUDA烤土司神器！因此一行人晚上去多慶屋樓下超市買了東西回來吃吃喝喝，早餐烤土司來吃。狸貴妃特地還在樓上大創買了便宜的提袋還有壓縮袋，準備回旅館施展打包小天使的真功夫。 4.晚上徵求誰要走去上野車站吃一蘭拉麵？姐姐一家人長年住香港但從來沒吃過一蘭，當然久仰其名，所以我就帶她們去啦。（我們家三隻狸則是整完行李後暴睡）深夜0AM的一蘭，不用排隊，還是記憶中的味道，姐姐和外甥女都很滿意。走過去大概10分鐘吧。 5.樓下不遠一邊SEVEN一邊LAWSON，很方便。大廳不大，但check out後當天允許寄放行李，這沒問題。所以我們最後一天是上野逛完後，回來集合推行李去京成上野。走到三井花園上野前坐電梯下去地下道，一路走到京成，新手需要先研究一下動線。走到電梯13分鐘，走到京成上野再8分鐘。沒有想像中遠。 6.除了離車站有點遠，我沒有什麼好嫌的。他位在日比谷線上野站和入谷站之間，差不多在正中間，要走有點久。往上野走大概三個block會經過Mimaru東京上野東，這間位置就好多了。但我想應該價位就會高滿多的吧。 https://reurl.cc/zl7XM0 歡迎追蹤林氏璧孔醫師的發聲管道，了解最新的日本旅遊訊息！ 我的電子名片 https://lit.link/linshibi 日本優惠券大平台和近期活動資訊 https://linshibi.com/?p=20443 日本藥妝店優惠券大集合 https://linshibi.com/?p=27381 歡迎贊助04b喝咖啡 https://pay.firstory.me/user/linshibi

I first met Kohta early in my carrier after I got laid off from a builder, started my own company, and then that same builder became my client.  When I worked for them, we built their first environmental research house, and then the Building America program began consulting on their second. BSC was the consultant assigned to the project and I was tasked to assist Kohta in all things diagnostic on this house before it opened to the public. As you will hear, serendipity fell into Kohta's lap, as he started a lifelong mentorship with Joe Lstiburek and Betsy Pettit, the founders of Building Science Corporation.  Over time Kohta has become one of the great Building Scientists that we look up to and now the mentee is mine and many others mentor. I believe that Kohta is wicked smart, but he is also one of the most humble and gracious people I have met, and that is what I appreciate most about him.  Kohta thank you for all you do for the construction industry.

"I decided that the field recording should sit within the overall stereo field and along with the music simply form part of the composition and not become too prominent overall. Thus I created the music to wrap around the field recording as if the field recording was another instrument within the piece, which like the other sounds weaves in and out and drops in and out." Ueno Park reimagined by Audio Obscura.

"The recording location for 'Ueno Park - Quiet Place' is situated in Ueno Onshi Park in Tokyo. It is Japan's first public park and houses important cultural institutions such as the Tokyo National Museum, the National Museum of Western Art, the National Museum of Nature and Science, and the Ueno Zoo. Due to the presence of these significant attractions, it naturally becomes a gathering place for people. I discovered a 'Place of Silence' on one of the pathways within the park. Despite the hustle and bustle, it seemed that everyone had an unspoken agreement not to make noise and instead, they were listening to the silence amidst the commotion." Recorded by Zion Bai.

La línea Yamanote de JR es una de las más famosas entre los turistas por su recorrido circular de 30 estaciones y porque conecta muchos de los principales puntos turísticos de la capital japonesa. En esta primera parte lo que hacemos es recorrer la línea desde Shinjuku, en el oeste, hasta la estación de Tokio, al este, por arriba (es decir, por Ikebukuro, Nippori y Ueno). Necesitarás lápiz y papel porque damos muchas, pero muchas ideas de cosas que ver y también incluso de lugares para comer cerca de estas estaciones. En Japonismo mini aprovechamos, además para hablar de comentarios de japonistas en Discord, para reflexionar sobre cómo fue la celebración de Halloween en Shibuya con las prohibiciones de su alcalde. Y, sobre todo, te recordamos que ya está activo el descuento que tenemos con Air France para viajar a Japón. Más detalles en nuestras redes sociales y en la newsletter (japonismo.substack.com).

We're back with a chat about Sam's 2023 summer trip to Japan. 0:34 Overview: 14 days, spent as follows: 5 nights in Kyoto at Mimaru Apartment hotel. 430 square foot. Not spacious but good for a family of 4. 2 nights in Hiroshima at the Hilton Hiroshima: One bedroom suite booked with points (90k per night). Very new hotel, opened in 2022. 5 Nights Ishigaki island near Yonehara beach. Car rental 2 nights in Tokyo at another Mimaru in their pokemon room Robert's previous trip report (required listening) 04:37 Travel: JL from LAX nonstop to Kyoto Pickup from the airport (Booked on Klook.com) worked really well Used the "Visit Japan Web" site to generate QR codes before landing. Be sure to make a QR code for each person (for immigration) and one per family for customs. 08:09 Kyoto: Transit was difficult Not easy for us. Lack of numbers and signage really chewed us up. BUSY stations with people who definitely knew what they were doing. Helpful staff–but still difficult to execute train to train transfers Local vs. Express was not well signed. Got easier when we limited ourselves to busses + a single train. Busses in general were easier and better in Kyoto (can see the city as they Drive). Would take a cab directly to the bus stop. 15:51 Universal Studios: Brutal to get to. Issues with kids and trains. But once there, small size and express pass made the day a complete success. Conflicting information about swapping rides–but we were able to swap for different rides than those listed on our express passes (but not different times) Lines are crazy long, express pass is a must. We bought a 4 ride pass due to height restrictions limiting possible rides, but 7 ride passes were not much more. The Mario Water party parade was fantastic and over the top. Japanese to the max and loved by my kids. Super Mario World is incredible. The kids had a blast, we spent about 6 hours at the park, just enough time in my opinion. Getting home to Kyoto was equally brutal. The train line leaving Universal encountered a full stop due to a train on the loop hitting a passenger. 30:10 Cabs: We took so Many and They Saved Us Combination of lots of walking and young kids meant we needed to use cabs. We were 'close' to multiple train stations and bus stops. But the walking before, during and after sightseeing meant cabs were the way we extended days. Uber app worked well in Kyoto/Hiroshima to call cabs. In Tokyo we had to be careful--there was a 300-500 yen pickup fee plus the meter -- lots of times the uber black fare was less. Uber black cars are the nicest possible car I've ever been in. Loved these in Tokyo. 38:40 Kyoto to Hiroshima with Luggage: Train travel Gion Matsuri in Kyoto made the train station packed. Train runs nearly every 20 minutes. Amazing. Kiosk did not work with CC and I couldn't get 3 seats together (with luggage access). Pivoted to a desk agent who quickly got us on the next train and split us up. With large size suitcases it is recommended to book a luggage seat. Non-reserved seating is apparently not possible and if you do book non-reserved there's a 1000 yen fee if your bag is big Meant we were split up, but only for part of the ride. Fast train ride and cell coverage even in tunnerls, but wifi was terrible and completely unusable 45:52 Hiroshima: Not enough time, kids are to young JR Trains to Miyajima vs high speed ferrey, by taking the ferry from Hiroshima Port we saved significant time. Miyajima was loved by the kids for the deer and by us for the hiking and national park. Time is for sale in Japan. This is a great example Peace park was a highlight of the trip as well. Kids were too young for the museum, we had to skip it Data only SIM saved the day Got two of these from Airalo. Esim, and phones supporting dual eSIM make this a quick way to get online in foreign countries. 5GB, $11. Really was wonderful to be connected everywhere, saved the day many times. Wifi is good but not enough places had it. Ishigaki especially. Hilton Hiroshima: Very nice Hotel. Brand new, opened in 2022 (was previously a police station) Lobby: Booked a 1 Bedroom Suite for 90,000 points per night. Had called and emailed prior to arrival but no additional upgrade was offered due to space issues. Hotel was indeed 100% full our second night, with monday being Marine Day in Japan. View from the Living room to the bedroom: Hotel says it is full most weekends with Japanese who come to the city. Full breakfast in either the restaurant or the lounge. Very good, full buffet but lines for things started backing up if you arrived late. Really puts US Hilton properties to shame. Wish I stayed one more night. 52:43 Highlights from Ishigaki island Getting to HIJ airport: Airport Limousine Bus worked out very well. Car Rental: Just worked! The island has a busy southern side, quiet Northern shore and is ringed by reefs All the comforts of mainland Japan are on this island. It really is amazing how the grocery store stocks everything at nearly identical prices to the stores in Kyoto/Tokyo. The beef raised on the island is fantastic. So good we went twice to a local Yakiniku. Beaches were very good--with no waves anywhere on the island the kids were able to swim out very far and I felt they were safe the entire time. Activities we did: lots of snorkeling, glass bottom boat tour of the bay, Traditional Okinawan village, Hike to and swam in a waterfall, Stargazing. Really relaxing island. Wish it was closer. Can't replace Hawaii but nice that it is less than 3hrs from Tokyo. Food on the island was varied enough and easy to get to. Times listed when places were open were often completely wrong, but we stumbled on two great restaurants when the places were wanted to go to were closed. Farmer's market on Ishigaki stocks most tropical fruit but pricing was high still. The availability is the draw here, but spoiled with CA/Hawaii style fruit and farmer's markets. 1:06:06 Flight to Toyko Mind-blowing that you can wake up, have a few hours on the beach in Ishigaki and then hop a flight to Toyko and be eating an early dinner there. ANA domestic 787, very full. Short flight time, domestic travel in Japan is interesting, no liquid restrictions, no ID checks, free checked bags. Like flying in the 90's here. From the airport we did the monorail to a single JR train. Worked really well. Plenty of space for luggage on the monorail. 1:17:33 Tokyo Highlights City still seems to wake up late. Breakfast at 7am was a little tough to find, found a great little cafe in Asakusa that opened at 6:30. Lots of shopping. Loved the multi-story department store/malls. Ueno streets had so many great food options, but the area is loud and has smoke/adult themes to be aware of. Shibuya was even busier than Ueno, but with more polish. Checked out Ginza, really amazing how close it is to both of the other districts and just how really sharp looking the streets are there. Ueno Zoo was perfect for my kids 4/8. Animals seem to be out in the mornings, so go early. Line to see the baby pandas was too long for us, so we skipped them and saw their parents instead (no line). Started getting homesick a little. Travel with kids: how we made it work. Cabs (Uber worked, didi is another) Naps Sugar (Ice cream really, at convenience stores) Food was well received by my kids but options for all kids might be harder 1:24:39 Is a Return Trip in the Cards? Overall thoughts? Yes, but maybe not our next trip Long 14 day trip let us see a lot, but still left a LOT unseen. Would like to wait for my kids to be a bit older to be able to do more

I'm excited to bring you a conversation with Haraldur Thorleifsson, or Halli, for short. I met up with Halli at Kinference in Brooklyn, and he was gracious enough to give me some of his time. We recorded this in the venue during the conference happy hour, so please bear with us as there's going to be a lot of noise. Halli is an entrepreneur, creative design leader, and musician from Reykjavik, Iceland. He previously founded and led UENO. Currently, he is building 1000 ramps in Iceland, releasing music under the name Önnu Jónu Son and just launched his restaurant, bar, and mini theater Anna Jóna. We spoke for a short period of time during the happy hour of the first day of Kinference in Brooklyn. We talked about his experience being a recovering alcoholic, and cover some meaningful stories about what drives him and what projects he is focusing on next.

Toshio Ueno built the Sake School of America. In 2016 he was awarded the Industry's most prestigious title Sake Samurai from Japan Sake & Shochu Makers Association.  Oh and Sake and Oysters are magical. You heard it here. Check out the website: www.drinkingonthejob.com for great past episodes. Everyone from Iron Chefs, winemakers, journalist and more.

Linda is a designer, creative director, and as her website says: 'Your friend in design.' Her story starts in small-town Georgia, and since she has had an illustrious career, from being a designer at companies like Mailchimp and Dropbox, to her time as an Art Director at UENO, and most recently leadership roles at Help Scout and Mux. Linda shared some of her most meaningful lessons, and how they have affected both her leadership style, and her personal approach to life.

Bringing together two voices, practice and theory, in a collaboration that emerges from lived experience and structured reflection upon that experience, O'Mochain and Ueno show how entrenched discursive forces exert immense influence in Japanese society and how they might be most effectively challenged. With a psychosocial framework that draws insights from feminism, sociology, international studies, and political psychology, the authors pinpoint the motivations of the nativist right and reflect on the change of conditions that is necessary to end cultures of impunity for perpetrators of sexual abuse in Japan.  Evaluating the value of the #MeToo model of activism, the authors offer insights that will encourage victims to come out of the shadows, pursue justice, and help transform Japan's sense of identity both at home and abroad. Ueno, a female Japanese educator and O'Mochain, a non-Japanese male academic, examine the nature of sexual abuse problems both in educational contexts and in society at large through the use of surveys, interviews, and engagement with an eclectic range of academic literature. They identify the groups within society who offer the least support for women who pursue justice against perpetrators of sexual abuse. They also ask if far-right ideological extremists are fixated with proving that so-called "comfort women" are higaisha-buru or "fake victims." Japan would have much to gain on the international stage were it to fully acknowledge historical crimes of sexual violence, yet it continues to refuse to do so.  In Sexual Abuse and Education in Japan: In the (Inter)National Shadows (Routledge, 2022), O'Mochain and Ueno shed light on this puzzling refusal through recourse to the concepts of 'international status anxiety' and 'male hysteria.' An insightful read for scholars of Japanese society, especially those concerned about its treatment of women.
