Fukai Nihon 深い日本 - Shades from Japan

The kintsugi 金 継 ぎ, is an ancient technique used to repair ceramic objects using gold, silver, or lacquers with gold powders or other colors. We'll discover togther in detail how this deeply rooted art functions and how it transcends philosophy.

This technique, which we can also find under the name of kintsukuroi 繕 い, dates back to the 15th century when a Japanese commander sent his teacup to China to be repaired.

 Yamadera or the "Mountain Temple", as more commonly called, is easily reached in about twenty minutes by train from the city of Yamagata, Yamagata Prefecture. 
The Yamadera Temple, historic site that is within the cultural-landscape protected monuments of Japan, is a few minutes walk from Yamadera Station. 
The station is served by JR Senzan line that connects the city of Sendai and Yamagata, and you can get there either from Yamagata Station in about 20 minutes, or from Sendai station in about one hour.

 Onsen, terme, a word that brings you directly in Japan, with an adjective that can define it at best .... Fantastic. What are they, where to find them but above all the rules of good manners to hold once inside. A Japanese passion but not only. 
 Japan is fortunate to have many spas because of its geophysical configuration (the same, unfortunately, making it the target of many earthquakes).

 Finally complete the Film Kizumonogatari which tells us the prequel of the Bakemonogatari series. The past, of Araragi and Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade only seen in small flashes. Their story that joins the meeting with Tsubasa Hanekawa. The film was divided into 3 episodes which made their appearance in Japanese theaters at different times, in different years, one could say given the duration of the series.
