L'alchemica trasformazione della quercia per l'imprescindibile respiro del carbone giapponese

L'apprezzamento culturale nei confronti del Giappone, largamente praticato da ampie fasce di popolazione appartenenti alle nazioni e storie personali più diverse, nient'altro costituisce in molti casi che la manifestazione resa in senso pratico di un profondo anelito facente parte dell'intrinseca cr

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1867, the last #Tokugawa #shōgun resigned. The #Bakufu system of military governance had dominated #Japan since 1185, with the imperial house largely powerless. The #Shogunate's end opened the way to the #MeijiRestoration and Japan's #DefensiveDevelopment.

During the Edo period 'hassaku' was the second most important holiday in the calendar (after New Year's Day) for the shōgunate.
It celebrated the day in 1590 (August 30th in the Gregorian Calendar) that Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川家康) entered Edo Castle (江戸城) for the first time.

Following the Ōnin War (応仁・文明の乱 1467-77) the festival was suspended for over a century and a half.
The Tokugawa shōgunate helped revive the Aoi Matsuri, and it's believed that at this time the Tokugawa first adopted an aoi (wild ginger) leaf motif as their crest (三つ葉葵).

Re "sakoku", Tokugawa shogunate's isolationist foreign policy:
"One element of [the Tokugawa bakufu] agenda was to acquire sufficient control over #Japan's foreign policy so as to not only guarantee social peace, but also to maintain #Tokugawa supremacy over the other powerful lords in the country"

🔸Wondering if current US admin is trying to emulate Tokugawa bakufu's foreign policy?🤔

Collectively known as 'chitenjō' (血天井), these 'blood ceilings' are a grisly memorial to a pivotal moment in Japanese history when fortune swung in favour of Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川家康 1543-1616), and the Toyotomi Clan's decline began (their final destruction coming in 1615).

To provide fresh fish for shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川家康 1543-1616), bamboo pens were constructed in Edo Bay to hold live catches.

It was discovered that seaweed thrived on the bamboo fences, and soon fishing communities were actively farming the algae on sunken wooden frames.
