Japan Exterior PaintingPosted by Mouridsen Rosales on June 11th, 2021 When they are young, places like a narrow path between houses, the edge of a garden, the back of a shed, under the floor, or an open lot are the preferred playgrounds of children. Here’s another project from Japanese studioSuppose Design Office, this time a house in Buzen, Japan, where separate structures are connected under a glass canopy. The wooden-clad residence features different courtyards and corridors where children can play under a glazed roof. Main functions of the kindergarten are found underneath the oval roof . To promote social skills and the removal of hierarchical structures, the kindergarten’s interior environment is devoid of walls. The boundary between the idealistic perfection of the garden and the imperfection of the outer world is blurred, what actually lies over its fence or wall is avoided. The seemingly endless garden entrances the mind, stimulating our senses of mystery and wonder. There is now a superb sculpture park in his home town of Bibai in Hokkaido about 40 minutes from Sapporo. As if a minimalist haiku has been transcribed into marble or bronze, Kan's extraordinary pieces seem to create sacred space around them; the subtlety and the philosophical and metaphysical aspects of his work speak loudly. They seem totemic, in keeping with animistic Shinto's sacred sites ringed with plaited straw Shimenawa. Landscapes and observers are drawn in to these sculptures, resting on them, posing within them or viewing their surroundings through the structures and their apertures seems entirely natural. It was sometime during this period that the hidden roof, a uniquely Japanese solution to roof drainage problems, was adopted. The grounds are quite large and are a lovely , leafy and serene walk. There is very nice shrine inside too which is worth seeing and a venerable old tree that survived the atomic bomb blast. Japanese architect 外壁塗装 安佐南区 Junya Ishigami, an alumnus of Kazuyo Sejima & Associates who set up his own firm in 2004, built the House with Plant between 2010 and 2012. Bridging the space between landscape and architecture, this house has a garden space in the double-height interior and glazing that reveals the planting inside the house, to the outside. Before the twentieth century, very little of the West's knowledge of the Japanese building was gained in Japan. Instead it was gained through exhibitions the Japanese partook in such as the 1876 Centennial International Exhibition in Philadelphia. The early influence of such exhibitions was more in the creation of an enthusiasm for things Japanese instead of something more authentic. The result was exuberant Japanese decoration, the simplicity of Japanese design lost in the clutter of Victorian ostentation. Japanese Zen interior designs draw inspiration from elements of nature as they have immense respect for nature. Their designs have a strong connection with natural elements such as wood, plants, natural lighting and more. The strong identity claimed by the museum is not limited only to its art collections that celebrate the prefecture. Aomori (青森) literally means "blue forest" in Japanese, and the museum has a small blue tree as its logo. As night falls, the museum facade proudly displays a neon "blue forest". The most impressive exhibit is undoubtedly his "Aomori-ken"; a gigantic white dog over 8.5 meters tall. Located in an open niche at the back of the museum, the dog looks with a benevolent eye upon the visitors who gather around his legs. You'll be able to leave with a souvenir of Nara's impressive canine if you go through the gift shop; it's image is printed on all kinds of objects and souvenirs. This view shows the failure of light concrete wall columns and the collapse of the roof. Reinforced concrete school building, 0.3 mile southwest of X. The damage on the left end resulted from a parapet wall pulling loose. Mount Fuji has for centuries been celebrated in art and literature and is now considered so important an icon that UNESCO recognized its world cultural significance in 2013. Part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, Mount Fuji is climbed by more than a million people each summer as an act of pilgrimage, which culminates in watching the sunrise from its summit. Without a doubt Japan's most recognizable landmark, majestic Mount Fuji (Fuji-san) is also the country's highest mountain peak. Built in AD 794, it's one of the city's most visited historic sites. In addition to the many fine views of the palace from numerous points in the surrounding parkland, visitors are permitted into the East Higashi-Gyoen Garden and other areas that are opened to the public as part of an organized tour. One of the most romantic views is of the famous Nijubashi Bridge, or "double bridge," so named for its watery reflection. While some still choose to begin their climb from the base, the majority of climbers now start from above the halfway mark, at the 5th Station, resulting in a more manageable six-or-so-hour ascent. Those who do attempt the complete climb are advised to depart in the afternoon, breaking up the climb with an overnight stop at one of the "Mountain Huts" designed for this very purpose. An early start the next day gets you to the top for the sunrise. The wide left route heads for the rear of the castle while the right mountain route heads for the castle tower. By all means, take the mountain route since it will take you to the remnants of the Otemon Gate and the stone wall that will evoke those days which cannot be done if you take the wide route. Both sides of the high wall measure 19.6m in width and the dry moat measures 20m in depth; these two were included as some of the defensive measures for the castle. The huge well known as Ohtsurui which has also been called an emergency exit is a must-see. Himeji is a beautiful city surrounded by sea and mountains in Hyogo prefecture, boasting one of Japan’s most iconic national treasures. The most prominent feature of the city is Japan’s most enduring and preeminent feudal fortress, Himeji Castle.Like it? Share it! More by this author |
