TsukuBlog | Getting Ready for O-Shogatsu ( お正月)- The Japanese New Year Festival

By Avi Landau It is customary for Japanese families with daughters to pack up and put away the Hina Doll sets they had been displaying for the March 3rd Doll festival on the VERY NEXT DAY after the festival (March 4th). You might notice how in a strangely similar fashion most of the Santa-Sans and other X-Mas decorations which could be seen around Tsukuba leading up to Christmas Day will have been whisked out of sight by the end of December 26th, as most Tsukubans ( and Japanese in general) start getting down to the very serious business of preparing for O-Shogatsu, the Japanese New Year’s festival.

TsukuBlog | Their Long Hard Run Is Over – Ibaraki`s Salmon ( and salmon in Japanese culture)

TsukuBlog Their Long Hard Run Is Over – Ibaraki`s Salmon ( and salmon in Japanese culture) 17 November, 2020   By Avi Landau It was early one November morning. Michael Frei, Thomas Mayers, and I were still laying, eyes open, within the warm and snug confines of the futon mattresses which had been kindly laid out for us the night before by our host Takayama-san. The light shining through the windows of the old farm-house suggested a beautiful day, but still we hesitated to get out from under the covers, as our exposed faces gave us a hint of the frigid air which would hit us as soon as we did so.

TsukuBlog In Winter, it’s Usually Clear Skies in Tsukuba – bringing distant sacred mountains into view! 11 December, 2020 By Avi Landau Visitors cannot get a full view of Mt Fuji anymore from the top of Tsukuba`s Mitsui Building- its only possible to make out the tip of its northern slope A climb up the slopes of Mt Tsukuba has long provided a view, which in this mostly mountainous country, can be said to be unique – a vast plain, rolling out into the horizon. For a nation of herders or ranchers ( which the Japanese are not), this part of Japan might have been the most attractive part of the whole archipelago, and the Tsukuba area would long, long ago have been turned into pastureland for grazing cattle.

TsukuBlog | Remembering the 1886 Sinking of the Normanton (ノルマントン号事件)- in which the British Captain and European Crew Abandoned Ship, Leaving all Asian (including all 25 Japanese) Passengers to Drown

TsukuBlog A Local Perspective on Life in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan. Remembering the 1886 Sinking of the Normanton (ノルマントン号事件)- in which the British Captain and European Crew Abandoned Ship, Leaving all Asian (including all 25 Japanese) Passengers to Drown 10 December, 2020   Stone Monument in Wakayama Prefecture to the 25 Japanese who drowned when the British ship the Normanton went down. The incident caused widespread outrage in Japan. Not only did the British captain and his crew abandon ship leaving the Japanese passengers to their fate, but at a hearing held at the British Consulate in Kobe, they were all found innocent of any negligence (they claimed the Japanese understood no English!). The public outcry was such that the British agreed to a retrial at their consulate in Yokohama where the captain was given a three-month sentence.  No compensation of any sort was ever offered the bereaved families. Now nearly  forgotten, the Normanton Incident
