; Kanto and Kansai are expressions commonly used by the Japanese to distinguish regions. However, if we think about it further, we can only say that the regions mentioned in this statement are very vague.

This statement clearly shows that the concept is based on the words off in Kanto and Kansai. ; by means of means through. Specifically, there are three checkpoints for checking pedestrians between eastern and western Japan: Suzuka and Tokaido in Mie Prefecture, Horde in Fukua Prefecture, and Aifa in Fukui Prefecture. These three checkpoints are known as Kanto in the east and Kansai in the west. This expression is said to have begun in the twelfth century. Later, I don't t don't know when it was divided into east and west, but the three checkpoints were changed to the Osaka checkpoint between Kyoto and Otsu (Shiga Prefecture) as a benchmark.

But judging from Japan's past history, which has always been centered on Kyoto, the checkpoints were set up to defend the capital, so the Kyoto side was called Kannai and the outside Kansai. There is no such thing as Kansai. The area around Kyoto is called Kini because Kini means capitalization. If you expand that, that area would be called Feng Jing En. That name continues to this day. As we entered the Kamakura period, the rulers left Kyoto and people began to realize that Kyoto was in the west, so Kansai was born.

As mentioned above, though, there is a basis for interpretation regarding Kanto and Kansai. However, if we simply think about things this way, we would assume that Kansai means Western Japan and Kanto means Eastern Japan. But the fact is that most Japanese don't I don't think so.

It is interesting to note that the word Kanto is now used in the administrative divisions of Japan, but the word Kansai is largely unused. ;Kanto refers to Tokyo, Kanagawa, _Tama, Chiba, Ibaraki, Gunma, Tochigi, *** six prefectures. The administrative division refers to the area centered on Kyoto and Osaka as Feng Jing En, which includes Osaka Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture, Shiga Prefecture, Nara Prefecture, Wakayama Prefecture, and Hyogo Prefecture, and is divided into two prefectures and four prefectures (sometimes two prefectures and five prefectures when Mie Prefecture is included). As for Kansai, it is difficult to set such a definite range.

However, as a name for a region, Kansai is used more often than Feng Jingen. For example, Osaka-yin, Kyoto-yin, Nara-yin, and Wakayama-yin, though different, are all called Kansai accents as dialects of the same system. In contrast, there is no such thing as a Kanto accent. In addition, when comparing the character and temperament of people living in Tokyo and Osaka, people often use the word Kansai, but basically they would not don't use the word Kanto to say Tokyoites. Names of Kansai Electric Power Company, Kansai Television Station, Kansai International Airport, etc. Often can be seen in the two regions are representative of large companies, corporate bodies, but rarely see the name Kanto 000, mostly known as Tokyo 000.

It from the self-consciousness of the residents of the two regions, which is also interesting. Residents of the two states and four prefectures near JI usually refer to themselves as Kansai people; residents of the one capital and six prefectures in the Kanto region largely do not call themselves Kanto people.

Finally, talk about what Subtle could call a buffer zone.

Residents of Liudu Prefecture not only don't don't call themselves Kanto people, but also don I don't think they should belong to either region. From this point of view, let's consider these six prefectures as pure Kanto for the time being. The subtle ones are Yamanashi Prefecture and Izu in Shizuoka Prefecture. The map shows these two prefectures as belonging to the Central Plaza. If we divide them carefully, Yamanashi, Shin_, and Nagano Prefectures are where Ja is located; on the other hand, Shizuoka Prefecture is considered a Tokai location, not unlike Kanto. Administratively, however, Yamanashi and Izu prefectures are sometimes considered to be included in the Kanto region because they are close to Tokyo and, like the Tokyo suburbs, are within the transportation circle of Tokyo commuters. Residents of these two places sometimes consider themselves Kanto people. On the other hand, residents of Fukushima Prefecture, a neighboring prefecture to the north of the Kanto region, consider themselves Tohoku, so they cannot be called a buffer zone.

In Kansai, the subtle areas are Mie and Okayama prefectures. Mie Prefecture is Feng Jing'en Square on the map, but in terms of local life, it's basically part of the Nagoya living area in Aichi Prefecture. The so-called Tokai of course includes Mie Prefecture. But in terms of dialect and habits, they have a lot of **** in common with Kansai. In some respects they are quite different from Aichi Prefecture. With the development of railroads and highways, Mie Prefecture's close interaction with neighboring areas began to shift from Feng Jing En to Tokai. It can be said that Mie Prefecture is a member of Kansai. When NHK broadcasts weather forecasts for the Fengjingen area, it includes Mie Prefecture in the east. Also, Okayama Prefecture is part of China gt; both on the map and in the administrative divisions. Among the students I have taught and am teaching are people from Okayama Prefecture. Many of them (of course, we can leave out the vast majority) say that it's okay for it to think of us as Kansai people. ;This gives the impression that they at least don't they don't think their country and Hiroshima belong to the same region. Of course, Okayama Prefecture can't be said to be a prefecture within the traffic circle of Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe, but itit's' certainly not too far away. Perhaps the residents of this prefecture feel close to Kansai out of their desire for a big city.

2. Tourist Attractions in Gifu Prefecture, Japan

Shirakawa-go in Japan

Shirakawa-go, a World Heritage Site, is located at the foot of the Shirakawasan Mountains in the northwest of Gifu Prefecture. It is a quiet mountain village surrounded by mountains, rice paddies and rivers.

Extended information:

Located in a corner by the mountains, the village is best known for its famous buildings. more than 10 buildings are linked together in traditional Japanese rural architecture.

Palm-style buildings get their name from the herringbone-shaped roofs, which resemble hands held together. The roofs are covered with thick thatch in a strange and primitive shape, as if entering a different fairy tale kingdom.

The uniqueness of the palm-style house lies not only in its shape, but also in its architectural style. The entire house is knotted with ropes rather than nails. The thatch on the roof lasts for a very short time. Dozens of people were required to climb up to the roof when it was time to change the thatch, it was an amazing labor scene.

There are 113 joint households in Shirakawa-go***, and the Wada family is the largest. The house retains its Edo period style and has a unique historical flavor.

There is a sightseeing platform on a nearby hill. Standing there overlooking the village, you can see the whole village. It it really beautiful. Simplicity and serenity show the harmony between human and nature **** place. A paradise away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Such a beautiful paradise is estimated to be rare in the world, where you can not only enjoy the scenery, but also experience the performance of traditional crafts such as dyeing and weaving. Such a scenic spot where nature and cultural features coexist must be visited in Japan!

Fonts who are familiar with history know that Japan had an infamous army called Kanto, due to the establishment of the so-called Kanto state in the northeastern part of our country. In fact, in Japan, there is the geographical concept of Kanto. Japan is an island nation consisting of four main islands, Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku and Hokkaido, and more than 6,000 islands, but the main island is Honshu. In China there has been a saying

as their dividing line. ;through refers to checkpoints. It is said that in the earliest days there were three main checkpoints for checking traffic between the east and west of Japan: Higashiyama-ro Aifa-ro in Fukui Prefecture, Mudpo-ro in Gifu Prefecture, and Suzuka-ro in Toukaido in Mie Prefecture. East of these three checkpoints was Kanto and west was Kansai. Later, however, Toyosaka Pass between Kyoto and Otsu (Shiga Prefecture) became the new customs border. Today it is generally recognized that east of Kanto is called Kanto and west of Kanto is called Kansai.

Sekimoto, also known as Kannaka, is 4 kilometers long from east to west and 2 kilometers wide from north to south. Guanzhong is located in a basin with Emei Mountain in the north and Songwei Mountain in the southwest. To the southeast are the Nangong Mountains, and to the west are the Tianman Mountains and the Wei Zi Mountains.

Don't look at Guan Yuan. It it's not big, but it it's a major transportation artery in Japan. From Shi_ in the southeast to Hokudo in the northwest, taking the Guanwon is a convenient shortcut. At the end of Japan's third year of the Qing dynasty (1598 A.D.), Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of an illness and was succeeded by his youngest son, Toyotomi Hideyori. Tokugawa Ieyasu used his personal interests to make a name for himself and divided up his domain. This meant that relations between Tokugawa Ieyasu and the vassals of the Chenfeng family, represented by Ishida Sansei, almost broke down, and when they met again they were already enemies.

Later, Tokugawa Ieyasu made a name for himself when he went on a crusade against Uesugi Kagekatsu, and Ishida Mitsunari called Tokugawa Ieyasu a violator of the ban on private wars. All the notables of Ishida Sansei were summoned to Osaka to conspire against Tokugawa Ieyasu. In September of the fifth year of Kiyoshi (1600 A.D.), the two armies fought in the area of Kannon, and Tokugawa Ieyasu had the last laugh. This was the famous Battle of Guan Yuan in Japanese history. With the victory in this battle, three years later, Tokugawa Ieyasu established the famous Tokugawa Shogunate.

Figure - Topography of the Kanto Region

Japan's present administrative division is indeed related to the eastern part of the country, with one capital city: Tokyo, and six prefectures: Ibaraki, Gunma, _Yeh, _Tama, and Kanagawa. The Kanto region was developed later, and didn't really get developed until the end of the 12th century, when it was opened up by the Kamakura Shogunate as a political center. It was in the Edo period that the Kanto region really became developed. After the Meiji period, Edo was renamed Tokyo and became the capital of Japan, and the entire Kanto region developed rapidly. Today, the Kanto region, with Tokyo as its center, is the most economically developed and densely populated region in Japan.

Much of the Kanto region belongs to the Kanto Plain. There are many rivers in the Kanto Plain, most of which originate in the mountainous regions of the west and north and flow to the east and south, benefiting from the Negawa River, the Duliangrai River, and the Angry River. The most important of these rivers is the Onagawa River, whose watershed covers more than half of the Kanto Plain. Of course, the most famous place in the Kanto region is Mount Fuji, the most symbolic landmark in Japan.

Figure - Topography of Kansai

With Kanto, there is a natural association with the West, but its unclear whether Kansai, Japan, was home to a big pork seller and a bearded magistrate who liked to be irritated. Kansai, as its name implies, is located west of Kanto, centered on Kyoto and Osaka. The administrative division includes two prefectures, Kyoto and Osaka; and five prefectures, Nara, Hyogo, Shiga, Mie, and Wakayama. The Kansai region is not clearly delineated in Japan's administrative divisions, but the area around Kyoto and Osaka is Feng Jing En. The Kansai region is actually a rather vague geographical area.

The Kansai region is bordered by the Sea of Japan to the north, the Seto Inland Sea to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the south, and also boasts Japan's largest freshwater lake, Lake ---- Biwa. For a long time, Nara and Kyoto have been the political, economic and cultural centers of Japan, and have a large number of cultural resources. The Kansai region is the birthplace of classical art, music, kabuki, flower arranging, the tea ceremony, and other arts and cultures, and remains the center of traditional Japanese culture to this day. For example, Kyoto Prefecture is known as the home of the soul by the Japanese. In 710 A.D., the City of Peace (Nara) Japan imitated a city created by Chang in the Tang Dynasty became a World Heritage Site.

Japan is a country that attaches great importance to cultural heritage. ;Kansai is not an official administrative division, but it has a high usage rate as a regional place name. The usage rate of place names Feng Jingen cannot be compared to Kansai. Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, and Wakayama have different accents, but they can all be called Kansai accents. People in Feng Jing En generally like to call themselves Kansai people, but very few people in the Kanto region call themselves Kanto people, and they don't usually even mention the word Kanto people. Large companies and legal organizations representative of both regions often see Kansai, such as Kansai Electric Power Company and Kansai International Airport, but very few go by Kanto, and most are called Tokyo.

5. Where in Japan is Gifu Prefecture

It was the Tendai Sect monk Zheng, posthumously known as Cimu. This guy supported Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ichio, three generations of Edo Shogunate generals, and Akechi Mitsuhide, who some people say was the change of Honnouji Temple in the Wild History: life met the Tendai Sect monk Tenkai Sansho Jung (1536.1.1-1643.6.12), who served three generations of Edo Shogunate generals, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Koshi. He was involved in religious administrative reforms of the Shogunate and was extremely powerful. Because the monk wore black, he was known as the Black Prime Minister. Legend has it that Tokugawa Ieyasu, an official of Mitsuhide, was the black-robed chancellor and a monk of Tenkai. The first court of the Venerable Master was wise, and the poem of his death: the road has no second door, the road is the source of the heart. ; Fifty-five years of dreaming, the feeling is about to pay back a dollar. ;There is also a program full of high monks of the heavenly court. But I think these are just legends. If he doesn't stop, how can Hideyoshi the monkey stop? "Can't you see his clever brother's head? Author: A famous minister erased from history - Akechi Mitsuhide During the Tokugawa Shogunate period, from the Ruen period (1688~1703), there were think tanks known as the Prime Minister in Black and the monk Tenkai, a high priest of the Tendai Sect of the third generation of the Tokugawa dynasty, was Akechi Mitsuhide. The source of this rumor is based on the following points. First, the Tokugawa Shogunate killed the Toyotomi family without mercy. (The incident of the ringing of the bells at Bangkoji Temple, the Osaka Winter Front peace plan, and the expansion of the Uchi River were all behind Tenkai's ideas. First, Nobunaga ordered a firebombing of the main temple of the corrupt Tendai sect, Birezan Liyanji, and Hiromitsu injected his heart and soul into revitalizing the rivers in the territory near Sakamoto City. The tomb of Hiromitsu's wife, Xi Zi and Zhi Zhi, is buried in Tendai Town, Sheng Zong Xi Temple (Sakamoto, Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture)]. 1. In the garden of Fukudo, near the Aizuyama Iidoriya Nagasuin, there is an engraved giving blessing, light show and celebration, February 17, 20 I is the magnificent waterfall of Rinoji in Nikko-san (present-day Irepo Nikko II), a unique attraction named Shimenpei 1. After his death, Tenkai was posthumously named Master Tsumi, Tsumi (with the viewer of the spectators by compassion, which means the eyes of the bodhisattva). In Kyoto Prefecture, the eponymous Zenmuji Temple (Funayama, Kyoboku Town, Kita Kuwata Prefecture) has an exquisite statue. This statue is engraved with the main garden in front of the Meishu Genji Shrine, a great priest of Rissho on its surface, and the back is dedicated to one because of the relationship between Tenkai, an activist of the Honnoji mutiny, who was decapitated after the Battle of Yamazaki, and the surviving son of Kouhou Shijii's old Saito Rizo, who was reappointed (later Chunbutsu). First, Konka's successors took Mitsuhide and Mitsuhide's father.1. Akafu Shrine (Akafu City, Saitama Prefecture: The Nikko Tosho, where Konka's portrait is preserved, has an enigmatic figure, Kratom, inscribed with the Wise Men family crest. First, Chifu Zagreb has three or four houses . There are brand names such as Jiuban Jimeiji and Thirteen Ciwanji. Zhiming Temple is known as Ci Yan Temple altar under the Ming Di Zheng Guanyin. After examination, it is supposed to have been renamed in the Tenkai era. First, there is still the appearance of Tenkai as a monk wearing armor. Regarding the possibility of changing Mitsuhide's name to Tenkai, you can try to verify it at the age of both. The Konoji Mutiny took place on June 2, 1582. Nobunaga was 49 years old at the time. Mitsuhide's age is unclear. The Akechi Ichi Miyagi Family Sangyo Lineage Book states that Mitsuhide was born on August 17, 1528, the first year of the Lusho era. According to the Yinde Taihei ji, Xin Changwu (horse) was born, and Hiroshutsuko (rat) was born at the age of. 1528 was the year of the rat, and Mitsuhide was 55 years old. 755-79000 (the author is not known in the Edo period) describes Mitsuhide s death as: rebellion second gate, second dao, second heart source, fifty-five years, dream, first year, second year, second year, second year, time of the mutiny at Honoji Temple Hide, which is, if this is proved, 55 years of age. However, in case the phrase was invented by someone else, it can not be certain that this is the true age of Mitsuhide. According to r

And it is likely that the Akechi Military Records were written under the supervision of the Shogunate. From the contents of "Akechi I Miyagi Family Sangyo Lineage Book" it is clear that the author he himself was very supportive of Mitsuhide. Little Lee s untruthfulness had approached Mitsuhide s brainlessness and edited the death sentence of Meizo in favor of Mitsuhide s death sentence. Mitsuhide s legend of Mitsuhide s survival in Miyama-cho, Gifu Prefecture, was actually 57 years old at the time of the mutiny at Honoji. But in any case, Mitsuhide disappeared from history on June 15 (Yintoku Taiheiki), thirteen days after the mutiny. If it is a historical fact that Tenkai died in 1643, Mitsuhide lived for 61 years under the name of Tenkai. If Mitsuhide changed his name, he lived for 111 years. According to legend, Tenkai was 108 years old in 1643, making the two roughly equal in age. Even so, for biology, the difference between 100 years old and 3 years old is significant, especially since medical care was not as advanced as it is in modern times. And Tenkai's age can be unverified. So basically, there is no historical evidence to confirm the inference that Mitsuhide changed his name to Tenkai after the Battle of Yamazaki. Secondly, consider the pattern of the Kratom. From the conclusion, the short-circuit idea of Light Show = Rustom pattern needs to be handled with caution. This is because the orris pattern was used by one of the four Takeda ministers, Yamagata Masakage Kato Kiyomasa also used it. There is a side gate between Maruyama and Mimaru in the west of Edo Castle called Kratom Gate (alias: Uchisakura-tenmon). It is said to be the family crest of the Ota dojo, the Rustom, and has nothing to do with Mitsuhide. The design on the kimono skirt of Tojo's samurai is indeed that of a frangipani, but it seems to be surrounded by a pattern of melons. Take a look at the revival of Mitsuhide in Hiyama Enriji Temple and Sakamoto. Sakamoto Enryaku-ji Temple is closely related. The monks of Enryakuji Temple had their means of living purchased by Enryakuji Temple, and those who faced the mountain lived in Enryakuji Temple's house. Enryakuji was like a kitchen entrance to Sakamoto, so it seems irrelevant to the Tendai monk Tenkai that after Enryakuji was burned, Sakamoto's Enryakuji would have suffered and been revived. As for Hiro and Hidetsu in the second and third generation of Tokugawa generals, 10% of Aza Hidetsu's second generation of generals got their names from Toyotomi Hideyoshi, while the third generation of generals inherited Ieyasu Tokugawa's family name. The family outlines of the 4th generation generals and the 5th generation generals seem to use Lightsou's outline s's father, Kougaon, but actually words like Kougaon and just were the favorite names of the military generals of the time. If light show must be involved, it works, but it's a stretch. That Shimping was named by Tenkai cannot be confirmed. Furthermore, the place name Shimeihei can not find it on old Japanese maps. There is no evidence that the stone lanterns carved by Mitsuhide in Nishiyama were donated by Mitsuhide Akechi himself. In this way, the rumors introduced earlier are all denied one by one. Mitsuhide's death remains a mystery, but because of his age it should have nothing to do with Tenkai. It could be undeniable that Tenkai had a direct relationship with the wise man. It could also be possible that Kwang-soo s son-in-law was wise and sea and sky. By the way, on August 5, Heisei 12, Japan's TBS TV "Wise Army Chronicle" Toshogu's Mystery - Tokugawa Burial Gold Legend Mystery!amp;#039; broadcast the results of the handwriting identification of Kwang-soo and Tenkai. The conclusion was that Tenkai and Mitsuhide are not the same person, but they should be brothers and close relatives like father and son.
