Marugame castle - 35
The figure of a samurai who is watching the direction of "大手一の門 = Oo-te-ichi-no-mon" in the same "枡形 = Masu-gata" ·····.
This "大手一の門 = Oo-te-ichi-no-mon" is called "櫓門 = Yagura-mon". Also, because the Marugame samurai clapped the drum and told the time, we call it '太鼓門 = Tai-ko-mon'.
Even now, at the "大手一の門 = Oo-te-ichi-no-mon", tapped the Japanese Drum nine times at "九つ時 = Kokono-tsu-doki = noon" to inform Marugame citizen of noon.
In the Edo era of Japan, we divided the sunrise to the sunset in six parts, and divided the sunset to sunrise in six parts.
In Japan, it is time unit of "一刻 = I-ttoki", about two hours in current time unit.
In summer and autumn, a big difference occurs between "一刻 = I-ttoki" in the daytime and "一刻 = I-ttoki" in the night.
"Edo period" called Edison "平賀源内 = Hira-ga Gen-nai" is born in the land of this Sanuki.
He invented the temple's "automatic bell falling machine" from around the summer and at winter was completed.
When it actually operated, the sound of a big bell sounded at midnight, and many people said he complained to him if they could not sleep.
Japanese people think that "平賀源内 = Hira-ga Gen-nai" remains many inventory items, and is an inventor equivalent to Edison, Leonardo da Vinci.

The temple of Buddhism, which was familiar to Japanese people, "金毘羅さん = 松尾寺金光院 = Matsu-o-ji-kon-kou-in", has been forcibly changed to a shrine in the Meiji era and it has become "金刀比羅宮 = Ko-to-hi-ra-gu or 琴平神宮 = Koto-hira Shrine" for about 150 years.
The current Japanese does not know such a thing, ...
There is a festival on "Kotohira Shrine" from October 9th to 11th, and many people gather from all over Japan.
The festival is the following movie. . .

Marugame castle - 34
Samurai passing through '大手二の門 = Oo-te-ni-no-mon' and taking a rest at '枡形 = Masu-gata' · · · ·.
"枡形 = Masu-gata" of "Marugame castle" is so big that it can not be seen another Japanese castle.
The architectural style of "大手二の門 = Oo-te-ni-no-mon" is a building style called "高麗門 = Kou-rai-mon".
Although the name is "Goryeo Gate", there is no direct relationship with "Koryo of an ancient nation of Korea".
What is "枡形 = Masu-gata"?
↓Please see the second picture from the bottom of this page.
http://www.eki-metro.jp/otemachi/sp/story/04.html
From "Edo castle"
Current "Edo castle" has a palace of the Japanese Emperor.
Assuming that Jackie is entering into "枡形 = Masu-gata" as an enemy soldier, he will be shot and killed by arrows and bullets from three sides other than the breakthrough gate.
Do not worry!
Marugame castle has never fought.

In the last article I introduced "Noh"?
This time I will introduce works taken in the "能 = Noh", "歌舞伎 = Ka-bu-ki", "日本舞踊 = Nihon dance" and "組踊 = Kumi-udui", which was based on the same story that has been passed since long ago.
A direct story is about a 1100 years ago.
It is not a full story ...

日本舞踊 = Nihon dance - 京鹿子娘道成寺 = Kyou-ka-no-ko Musume-Do-jo-ji
https://youtu.be/yV9RDAldMSM
Synopsis;
Dojoji 2002 is a contemporary interpretation of the Dojoji story, featuring the vengeful spirit of a girl who had been rejected by a monk, created in 2002. The Dojoji legend, is one that has been prevalent in the dances and dramas of Japan since the 11th century and has created a dance and drama genre called Dojoji-mono. The story describes the unrequited love of a woman for a monk; being rejected, the woman turns herself from a beautiful girl into a demonic serpent who chases the monk. As the monk takes refuge in the Dojojitemple, the woman destroys both him and the temple bell, (inside which the monk is hiding) by burning them to ashes. The bell serves as a symbol of the woman's desire, longing, passion, anger, and eventual self-destruction.

Current Okinawa Prefecture was an independent country called "琉球 = Ryukyus" in the past.
The Ryukyu has public entertainment and arts influenced by China and Japan.
There is a work similar to the synopsis of "Dojoji" in Japan.
It is a work about 300 years ago from now.

Marugame castle - 33
A figure of a samurai looking back in front of "大手二の門 = Oo-te-ni-no-mon".
"天守 = Ten syu" is visible on the roof of "大手二の門 = Oo-te-ni-no-mon".
Jackie is standing on the "石橋 = Ishi-bashi" at Marugame castle "内堀 = Uchi-bori".
Marugamei castle is surrounded by Triple moats, which makes it hard for the enemy to attack.
About 50 years ago when I was a child, "中堀 = Naka-bori" and the "外堀 = Soto-bori" remained partially.
To the current "内堀 = Uchi-bori", Black Swans and Swans swim on the water, big Turtles, Carps and Grass carps are swimming.
In "内堀 = Uchi-bori", bamboo used for "団扇 = Uchi-wa" as a samurai's internal job was submerged.
The Edo period, "殿様 = Tono sama" was also creating a fan.
Marugame city produces 90% of domestic production volume of "practical fan".

Marugame castle
http://kameyamachikusei.wa-sanbon.com/marugamecastle.html
The Japanese love the full moon in the autumn, and during this period the Noh stage is held at castles, temples, parks etc, called "薪能 = Takigi-nou".
The program is "羽衣 = Hagoromo"
Synopsis;
"白龍 = White dragon" who is a fisherman in "三保の浦 = Miho no Ura" came back to "三保の松原 = Miho no Matsubara".
Then beautiful music and a good fragrance come.
When "白龍 = White dragon" looks around, beautiful clothes are hanging over the branches of the pine.
"白龍 = White dragon" tried to bring home the clothes, "天女 = Ten-nyo" appeared.
She asked me to return "羽衣 = Hagoromo".
She can not return to heaven without "羽衣 = Hagoromo".
However, "白龍 = White dragon" will not return her "羽衣 = Hagoromo" to her.
"天女 = Ten-nyo" is too sad, "白龍 = White dragon" thought to return "羽衣 = Hagoromo".
Condition that returns "羽衣 = Hagoromo" is "天の舞 = Ten-no-mai(Heavenly dance)" and "白龍 = White dragon" tells her.
When "天女 = Ten-nyo" began to wear "Hagoromo", "白龍 = White dragon" doubted her.
People in the heavenly world will not do such a thing.
She started dancing while flying.
I danced for a while, then disappeared into the height of the sky.

Marugame castle - 31
Dog Jackie waiting for me to finish taking a picture of the castle
The wind was also a strong day, so it gradually became he disgusted.
Leaving the Jackie on the table?
Because, safety fences are installed so as not to fall near the "石垣 = Ishi gaki" for human, a dog whose body size does not match will fall out of the stone wall.
Especially since Jackie is an active dog ...
For Jackie, Marugame Castle is his favorite walking course, he is familiar with walking.
And it is a walking path of Marugame citizen and a place of relaxation.

Please listen to Japanese old music, which we have less opportunities to listen to like these old Japanese music.

The above-mentioned old music changes to music like the one below and is liked by the Japanese.
If you speed up the tempo of the above song and simplify the melody it will be the following song.
This music expresses a scene where a samurai dances with a spear and a Japanese Sake cup.
Instead of the Japanese sake 's cup, it expresses the situation with a fan.
