Kiyomizudera Temple - 清水寺, Kyoto, Japan. Photo Gallery Kiyomizu-dera Temple - 清水寺 (founded 798? , rebuilt 1633 onward) Kiyomizu is an old temple of the Hosso sect of Buddhism, a relatively small sect that was established--according to legend--in 657 by the monk Dosho from China. It is said that Kiyomizu-dera (Clear Water Temple) was founded in 798 by the monk Enchin through the patronage of the warrior Tamuramaro. Legend states that Enchin dreamt of a golden stream flowing down from this mountain into the Yodogawa River. Twenty years passed, but Enchin could still not figure out how to shape the log into a proper image. Legend also says that after Tamuramaro's gift, the warrior took part in expeditions against the indigeonous inhabitants of northern Japan.
There is no way to test the veracity of the early legends concerning Kiyomizudera, for the original temple burned a number of times over the centuries.

Kiyomizudera (清水寺, literally "Pure Water Temple") is one of the most celebrated temples of Japan. It was founded in 780 on the site of the Otowa Waterfall in the wooded hills east of Kyoto, and derives its name from the fall's pure waters. The temple was originally associated with the Hosso sect, one of the oldest schools within Japanese Buddhism, but formed its own Kita Hosso sect in 1965.
In 1994, the temple was added to the list of UNESCO world heritage sites. Kiyomizudera is best known for its wooden stage that juts out from its main hall, 13 meters above the hillside below. The stage affords visitors a nice view of the numerous cherry and maple trees below that erupt in a sea of color in spring and fall, as well as of the city of Kyoto in the distance. Behind Kiyomizudera's main hall stands Jishu Shrine, a shrine dedicated to the deity of love and matchmaking. The Otowa Waterfall is located at the base of Kiyomizudera's main hall.

Manga sind ursprünglich Comics Made in Japan.
Aber haben Sie auch schon einmal ein Manga selbst gelesen? In Japan haben sich die Auffassungen über Manga in den letzten Jahren ziemlich gewandelt. Lange vorherrschende Meinungen, Manga seien ein Bücherersatz oder nur etwas für Kinder, sind heute nicht mehr gültig. Vielmehr hat sich diese Form der japanischen Popkultur einen festen Platz als ein Genre des künstlerischen Ausdrucks sowie als Medium erobert, das gleichberechtigt neben Romanen oder dem Fernsehen existiert. Während beispielsweise in einem Roman eine Geschichte allein mit Hilfe der Schrift erzählt wird, wird dem Leser bei Manga eine Geschichte präsentiert, die aus einer Kombination von Bildern und Lautmalereien, Gedanken und der Sprache der auftretenden Figuren besteht, die sich ebenfalls der Schrift bedienen.

On Sundays, Chuo Dori, the main street through the district, is closed to car traffic from 13:00 to 18:00 (until 17:00 from October through March). Akihabara has been undergoing major redevelopment over the years, including the renovation and expansion of Akihabara Station and the construction of new buildings in its proximity.
Among these newly opened buildings were a huge Yodobashi electronics store and the Akihabara Crossfield, a business complex with the aim of promoting Akihabara as a center for global electronics technology and trade.

Inside is uniquely Japanese. Row upon row of pachinko machines echo a cacophony of bells and cartoon voices, and the mostly male players sit rigid, watching silver balls bounce around (pachin refers to the sound of the ‘ko’, or ball), hoping they will fall down into the winning centre hole. The more balls they win, the more cash they will get. Taniguchi swapped the tray of thousands of winning silver balls for a receipt, which in turn was swappable for alcohol, toys or other prizes.

Kawaii[edit] Kawaii is a Japanese term which means "cute" and "beautiful". Cuteness seems to be a highly valued aesthetic quality in Japanese society and particularly Japanese pop culture, and overpowering cuteness seems to carry less of the stigma of infantilization as it does in many other cultures. Kawaii is pronounced Ka-wa-ee (not to be confused with kowai, Ko-wai, the Japanese term for "scary").
Kawaii can be used to describe animals and people, including fully grown adults; while attractive women are usually described as kawaii, young men are more likely to be described as kakkoii, Kak-ko-ee, which is "good looking" or "cool". Kawaii is also used to describe some men who are considered to have "cute" personalities. Mascots[edit] Kawaii in Japan has been a growing trend for many Japanese markets; they have been used in school all the way to large enterprises.
