湯島聖堂
2023.7.2
（またまた前回から続く…）ニコライ堂の後は御茶ノ水駅を挟んで向かい側にある湯島聖堂へ。
こちらは道路より下がったところにあるので、パッと見、大豪邸の塀に囲まれた公園のようで気付きづらいかもしれません。
都心の駅横とは思えない緑の中を進むと想像よりかなり大きい建物が！
湯島聖堂は徳川五代将軍綱吉が上野忍岡にあった孔子廟を今の場所に移したのが始まりで、関東大震災で入徳門などを除き消失、大成殿は昭和10年に伊東忠太氏設計で建てられたそうです。
伊東忠太氏といえば、今年のお正月に行った大倉集古館も設計。屋根にのっている水を吹き上げている龍っぽいのや猫のようなのも妖怪好きの伊東氏がデザインしたそうです。
湯島聖堂の敷地内には巨大な孔子銅像もありました。
雨が降っていたので、次は晴れた日にゆっくり緑も楽しみつつ訪れたいです。

Tokyo - Day 1
first stop the belly of the Japanese beast, Tokyo. After a flight from Macau to Narita, a train ride into the city and our first taste of the subway system we made it to our hotel in Akihabara and set off on a guided walking tour
Akihabara is known as “Electric Town” and it’s the place to go for the latest gadgets, anime and maid cafes... box ticked
Japan has 3 widely practiced religions - Confucianism, Shinto, and Buddhism - but they exist very easily alongside each other, their beliefs blend together and it’s sometimes hard to tell whether you’re at a temple or a shrine. There’s a Japanese saying that you’re “born a Shintoist, live as a Confucian, and die as a Buddhist”. This is the Yushima Seido Confucian temple - easy to tell you’re at a Confucian temple because of the statue of the man himself
these statues are at the Kanda Myojin Shinto shrine... the orange colour is very typical of Shinto, along with the Torii gates (lots more of those later)
our walk took us through the Ameyoko market
and ended at the statue of the Last Samurai in Ueno Park. The Last Samurai was Saigo Takamori, one of the leaders of the Meiji Restoration that ended the Edo period of isolation and restored imperial rule (1868 for the history buffs). He later distanced himself from the government over their refusal to declare war on Korea and established a miltary academy in Kogoshima that became a power base for other disaffected Samurai. The Meiji government then attacked the Samurai, defeating them at the Battle of Shiroyama in 1877. Legend has it that Saigo committed seppuku (ritual suicide) after being wounded on the battlefield. So not Tom Cruise after all...
after a (surprisingly reasonably priced) lunch we went to the Buddhist temple at Senso ji
but you’ve got to wonder who designed this on the roof of the nearby Asahi brewery... it’s billed as the “Golden Flame” but is known locally as the “Golden Poo”. Tokyo Skytree in the background

What does Kanda mean?
History of Kanda Shrine
神田 Kanda (holy rice paddies, Batman!) What does Kanda mean? (Short Version) 神田 Kanda means something like “holy rice field” or “field of the gods.” You can find places all over Japan that use the same characters (with various pronunciations) that derive from this meaning. In short, these place names are references to special agricultural spaces which originally produced food for shrines connected…

Shino Yanai “Praying for Tokyo–Well Temperament”
Shino Yanai “Praying for Tokyo–Well Temperament”
at Yushima Seido
Media: Installation
(2021-08-02 - 2021-08-10)
Up-and-coming artist Shino Yanai sees the space of Yushima Seido as a place of sound. Yanai’s production studio is located near the Olympic Stadium in London, and her observation of the surrounding environment and human behavior has inspired recent work. “Well-Tempered” is taken from the English name of Bach’s “The Well-tempered Clavier”. In this project, Yanai adopts the word “良律 (pronounced “liáng lǜ”)”, the Chinese translation of “well-tempered”, to create an installation that brings us to consider the meaning of “well-tempered” by overlaying the harmonic tones sought by musicians with the current social situation. Venue: Yushima Seido, Seibu (Corridor)
