Shimabara Castle (島原城 Shimabara-jō),

Shimabara Castle (島原城 Shimabara-jō), also known as Moritake Castle (森岳城 Moritake-jō) and Kōrai Castle (高来城 Korai-jō), is a Japanese castle located in Shimabara, Hizen Province (present day Nagasaki prefecture). This five-story white building stands in stark contrast to the black Kumamoto Castle in neighboring Kumamoto Prefecture.Shimabara Castle is a flatland castle (平城 Hirajiro), located between Ariake Bay and Mount Unzen. The outer moats, some 15 meters deep and between 30–50 meters wide, extended 360 meters east-west and 1260 meters north-south, with the enclosed area divided into three baileys. The walls extended for 3900 meters and had 16 yagura of various sizes at key points. The main donjon had five stories, and a height of 33 meters, and was connected to two secondary keeps, each with three stories. In terms of scale, it was far larger than normal for a daimyō with revenues of only 40,000 koku The Arima clan, who were Kirishitan daimyō, ruled over Shimabara Domain in the late Muromachi period from Hinoe Castle and Hara Castle. After the start of the national isolation policy, the Tokugawa Bakufu banned Christianity from 1614 and replaced Arima Naozumi with Matsukura Shigemasa. Matsukura, who strictly enforced the prohibition against Christianity with mass executions, also severely raised taxes to pay for the construction of his new Shimabara Castle from 1618-1624. This oppression of the peasants was a major factor leading to the Shimabara Rebellion..

Pursuit of perfection: The Japanese swordsmith

Korehira Watanabe is one of the last 30 remaining swordsmiths in Japan having spent 40 years honing his craft. His life ambition has been to re-create a type of sword called Koto, that dates back to the Heian and Kamakura periods that spanned from 794 AD to 1333 AD, even though there is no written guide or formula for creating the sword. The challenge to hand-craft a sword without any blueprint has been an obsession of Watanabe’s since he was a child.An ancient craft dating back hundreds of years The first Japanese swords were variations of the Chinese Jian. While there is no set formula to re-create the Koto swords Watanabe refuses to take any shortcuts and use any modern technology available, because for him the only way to maintain the tradition of sword making is to ensure the craft survives in its purest form. The history of the Samurai sword is divided into four periods – Koto (Pre 1596), Shinto /Shinshinto (1597 to 1876), Gendai (1877 to the end of world war II), and Shinsaku (modern). The first Japanese swords were variations of the Chinese Jian (called Chokuto)- a straight, double edged iron blade. However, sometime during the early Heian period, around 700AD, the first uniquely Japanese swords that were the forerunners of the modern Katana (sword) began to evolve - this is the Koto sword which Watanabe is trying to craft. Initially, the first Japanese swords were curved at the tang (end of the blade) only, but by the end of the 10th century fully curved swords were commonplace. It was during this time that Japan began to abandon cultural ties with China. Its society stabilized into class divisions with the military guards of the capital and the gentlemen of the provinces becoming the first Samurai. No one can pinpoint exactly when the first true Samurai swords were crafted, as written records of Samurai sword history are few and far between. Japanese myths identify the turning point of Samurai sword history with a smith called Amakuni. Crafting the traditional Katana sword The traditional Samurai sword is made from specialist Japanese steel, Tamahagane, which is made up of combinations of hard, high carbon steel, and tough, low carbon steel. The idea is that the high carbon steel is harder and able to form the shape of the sword, while the low carbon steel is more flexible. Essentially a harder outer jacket of steel is wrapped around a softer inner core of steel. Having hard carbon allows the sword to absorb impact and be more malleable, becoming blunt but not breaking during any form of combat.Watanabe has already found an apprentice to continue the tradition. The process of crafting a traditional sword needs devilish attention to detail that can take a matter of months. Even the slightest blemish means the sword must be scrapped. The metal can be folded up to 200 times and is eventually covered in clay during a process called quenching that gives the sword its curvature and also hardens the blade. The Koto sword is the earliest form of Samurai sword, and there is no clear blueprint to follow – with Watanabe using his own instincts to craft the original sword. When Watanabe started crafting swords in his youth, his family were opposed to his apprenticeship and for the last 40 years he has been perfecting his skills. It is only in the last 5 years he has achieved successful results – and he is eager to keep the dying craft alive. “It is my duty to build up a disciple better than me. Otherwise the tradition will wear thin with time.” Watanabe has already entrusted Nobuhiro Kikuchi as an apprentice with the hope that his passion and dedication for the craft process will be passed down through a number of generations.

There are quite a few Meoto-Iwa rocks in Japan.

Meoto Iwa (夫婦岩) or the Husband-and-Wife Rocks are a couple of small rocky stacks in the sea off Futami, Mie. They are joined by a shimenawa (a heavy rope of rice straw) and are considered sacred by worshipers at the neighboring Okitama-jinja. In Japanese Shinto belief, the rocks represent the union of creator gods Izanagi and Izanami. The rocks therefore celebrate the union in marriage of man and woman. The rope, which weighs over a ton, must be replaced several times a year in a special ceremony. The larger rock, said to be male, has a small Torii at its peak.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU...........

"Heavenly Father, have mercy on me, a sinner. I believe in U & that Ur word is true. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God & that He died on the cross so that I may now have forgiveness for my sins & eternal life. I know that with out U in my heart, my life is meaningless.I believe in my heart that U, Lord God, raised Him from the dead. Please Lord forgive me, for every sin I've ever committed or done in my heart,thoughts & life. Please Lord Jesus forgive me & come into my heart as my personal Lord & Savior today.I need U to be my Father & my Friend. I give U my life & ask U to take full control from this moment on. Thank U for answering my prayer, I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ." Amen.

Setiap kali sesuatu yang kurang baik terjadi kepada kita, pastinya ia adalah satu hikmah. Dari pengalaman saya, sekiranya ada orang mengambil kesempatan keatas diri kita, saya yakin yang tak lama lagi Allah akan memberi ganjaran yang amat lumayan kepada kita sekiranya kita redha kejadian itu. Dan sememangnya itu yang terjadi- berkali-kalinya pada saya! So, sekiranya ada orang take advantage of you, put your chin up and smile. Sabar dan redha atas kejadian itu kerana tak lama lagi, anda akan mendapat pulangan yang berkali-kali ganda! Yezzaa! :)
