A video of my trip to Yamanashi over the weekend, seeing Mt. Fuji and eating famous ice cream.

VIVI RONALDINHA - JAPÃO YAMANASHI-KEM

Alguns templos japoneses na cidade de Kofu. Kofu (甲府市; Kōfu-shi) é uma cidade japonesa localizada na província de Yamanashi. Kōfu (甲府市, Kōfu-shi?) is the capital city of Yamanashi, Japan. As of March 1, 2006, the city now has an estimated population of 201,184. The total area is 212.41km². Kōfu has been reputed through the years as a center where politics, economics, and culture have flourished. Rich in historical landmarks related to Takeda Shingen, the city also boasts museums, cultural centers, the famed and historic Yumura Onsen, and precious gem museums which display many examples from Kōfu's world famous jewelry industry. The city is well-known for its natural splendor; two-thirds of the city area comprises mountains and forests. History Kōfu Kōfu Kōfu's name means "capital of Kai Province." During the Sengoku period, it was the stronghold of Takeda Shingen. The origin of the name of Kōfu is related to the ancestral name of Yamanashi Prefecture, as well as to the city's geographical location. Centuries ago, the area which today is referred to as Yamanashi Prefecture, was once known as Kai Province. At that time, the geographical denominations of ken (prefecture), were not yet in use, and instead, the area was categorized as a fu. Located in the center of Kai, Kōfu's name was derived from a combination of kanji used in both Kai and fu. Alternate pronunciation of the characters resulted in the modern name of Kōfu. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of human settlement in the Kōfu area dating back as far as 6000 years BCE. However, the town of Kōfu was not formally established until 1519. Kōfu is designated as the one of the special cities of Japan. The city once had only 193,795 people due to the population decline, but after the amalgamation of Nakamichi and Kamikuishiki(northern) on March 1, 2006, the population went back up to 201,184

スポーツランド山梨、モト　グッチ。 Moto Guzzi Ballabio V11. My life time first lap on any track. Yamanashi Sportsland circuit in Japan. This was an enjoyment:-) And how much do I have more to learn:-) I had two cameras. One on a mount over the handle bar, and one in my pocket just taking blank picture, but better audio track:-) It must be the vibration conducted by the frame as well as the wind that corrupts the audio on the mount. Did you notice the short horn honk in the beginning? It was for synchronizing the two recordings:-)

Visita ao Castelo de Kofu, em Yamanashi. Kofu (甲府市; Kōfu-shi) é uma cidade japonesa localizada na província de Yamanashi. History of Kōfu Castle After the Takeda family succumbed, Kai Province became the fiefdom of Oda Nobunaga. When Oda died it came under the governance of Tokugawa Ieyasu. When Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified the country, he ordered the castle's construction. It was begun in 1583 and later completed by Toyotomi's brother-in-law, Asano Nagamasa, and his son. After the Battle of Sekigahara, Kōfu Castle fell into the hands of the Tokugawa family to whom it belonged until the end of the Tokugawa shogunate. In the early Edo period, Tokugawa Tsunatoyo became the heir of the fifth Shogun, and moved to Edo Castle. Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu then became the Lord of Kōfu Castle. Under his command the castle was fully repaired and the town was also developed. However, Yanagisawa was transferred and became the Lord of Yamato Kōriyama Castle. In the Kyōhō period which followed, Kai Province within which Kōfu Castle was situated came under the control of a retainer stationed in Kōfu. Also during this period, the honmaru of the palace and the Akagenenmon gate were destroyed by a large fire. Later in the Meiji period the castle was abandoned; around 1877, major buildings of the castle were destroyed. Thereafter the castle area was used as an industrial testing facility. In 1897 it was decided the Yakatakuruwa and Shimizukuruwa Enclosures should be dismantled to make way for Kōfu Station. In 1904 the area around the honmaru was opened to the public as Maizuru Castle Park and in 1930 the Government Offices and Assembly Hall moved to the dismantled lot of the Gakuyakuruwa Enclosure. The western and southern moats were completely buried, and the appearance of the castle ruins became almost the same as they are seen today. Kōfu (甲府市, Kōfu-shi?) is the capital city of Yamanashi, Japan. As of March 1, 2006, the city now has an estimated population of 201,184. The total area is 212.41km².

Uma cidade bem pequena em Yamanashi... estava visitando o Kio... Regiao com muitas construcoes antigas japonesas e forte ar rural. Tatomi (田富町, Tatomi-chō?) was a town located in Nakakoma District, Yamanashi, Japan. On February 20, 2006, Tatomi merged with Tamaho and Toyotomi to form the new city of Chūō. As of 2003, the town had an estimated population of 16,934 and a density of 1,678.30 persons per km². The total area was 10.09 km². Yamanashi: Pre-history to the 14th century People have been living in the Yamanashi area for about 30,000 years[citation needed]. As in most other Japanese regions, prehistoric society in Yamanashi progressed though the hunting, fishing and gathering stage of the Jōmon period, then the rice-producing stage of the Yayoi period and subsequent village and regional formation. The Maruyama and Choshizuka Kofun (earthen burial mounds) located on Sone Hill of Nakamichi Town　(currently in southern Kōfu) are believed to have been built from the end of the 4th century. From these remains it can be assumed that the people of Sone Hill had great influence. [edit] 15th to 19th Centuries Among the many Kaigenji generations, those of the Takeda, Ogasawara, and Nanbu families were particularly prosperous. During the Sengoku period of the 16th century, Takeda Shingen attained the status of daimyō and built Tsuzuji Mansion and the Yōgai Castle in Kōfu. From this base, he attempted to unify and control Japan. After Takeda's death in 1582, Kai-no-Kuni came under the control of the Oda and Toyotomi Clans before being subsumed into the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period. Beneath the Edo shogunate, the Kofu Clan (based in Kuninaka, or Central and Western Yamanashi) and the Yamura Clan (based in Gunnai, or Eastern Yamanashi) were formed, but in 1724 the area came under the direct control of the Shogunate. With the development of the Koshu Kaidō (highway) and Fuji River transport, goods, materials and culture flowed into the region. By the mid-19th century, the contradictions of military government and clan system caused stability to erode and resistance to erupt across Japan, paving the way for the Meiji Restoration of 1868.

More harpsichord stuff @ http://www.hpschd.nu A quick and somewhat bumpy handheld pan around the harpsichord exhibition room on arrival day at the 21st Early Music Contest in Yamanashi Kofu, Japan. Cacophony abounds with the young Japanese harpsichord competitors grabbing some last-minute practice on any suitable instrument. Some blank space remains along one wall awaiting the arrival of Toshihiko Umeoka and his fleet of several instruments. Unfortunately, the clouds obstinately refused to part all weekend, so the view through the panoramic windows of Kenmin Bunka Hall of the truly splendid snow-covered peak of Mt Fuji was not revealed.

Quadrilha - Festa Junina do Colegio Pitagoras de Minami Alps, Yamanashi. Aline, Natalia e os amigos. Filmado pelo Celso. Yamanashi (japonês: 山梨県; Yamanashi-ken) é uma província do Japão.Turismo Pontos Turísticos: · Monte Fuji O Fuji-san (1776m) é circundado por cinco lagos, sendo o Kawaguchi-ko o mais famoso pela imagem invertida do Fuji-san nas suas águas. · Monte Yatsugatake Ficam ao norte da província sendo uma cadeia de oito montanhas. · Vale do Shosenkyo Cenário espetacular de formações rochosas cortado pelo Rio Ara.Minami-arupusu ou Minami Alps(南アルプス市 -shi) é uma cidade japonesa localizada na província de Yamanashi. Em 2003, a cidade tinha uma população estimada em 71 071 habitantes e uma densidade populacional de 269,15 h/km². Tem uma área total de 264,06 km². Recebeu o estatuto de cidade a 1 de Abril de 2003.A quadrilha brasileira tem o seu nome de uma dança de salão francesa para quatro pares, a "quadrille", em voga na França entre o início do século XIX e a Primeira Guerra Mundial. A "quadrille" francesa, por sua parte, já era um desenvolvimento da "contredanse", popular nos meios aristocráticos franceses do século XVIII. A "contredanse" se desenvolveu a partir de uma dança inglesa de origem campesina , surgida provavelmente por volta do século XIII, e que se popularizara em toda a Europa na primeira metade do século XVIII. A "quadrille" veio para o Brasil seguindo o interesse da classe média e das elites portuguesas e brasileiras do século XIX por tudo que fosse a última moda de Paris (dos discursos republicanos de Gambetta e Jules Ferry, passando pelas poesias de Victor Hugo e Théophile Gautier até a criação de uma academia de letras, dos belos cabelos cacheados de Sarah Bernhardt até ao uso do cavanhaque). Ao longo do século XIX, a quadrilha se popularizou no Brasil e se fundiu com danças brasileiras pré-existentes e teve subsequentes evoluções (entre elas o aumento do número de pares e o abandono de passos e ritmos franceses). Ainda que inicialmente adotada pela elite urbana brasileira, esta é uma dança que teve o seu maior florescimento no Brasil rural (daí o vestuário campesino), e se tornou uma dança própria dos festejos juninos, principalmente no Nordeste. A partir de então, a quadrilha, nunca deixando de ser um fenômeno popular e rural, também recebeu a influência do movimento nacionalista e da sistematização dos costumes nacionais pelos estudos folclóricos. O nacionalismo folclórico marcou as ciências sociais no Brasil como na Europa entre os começos do Romantismo e a Segunda Guerra Mundial. A quadrilha, como outras danças brasileiras tais que o pastoril, foi sistematizada e divulgada por associações municipais, igrejas e clubes de bairros, sendo também defendida por professores e praticada por alunos em colégios e escolas, na zona rural ou urbana, como sendo uma expressão da cultura cabocla e da república brasileira. Esse folclorismo acadêmico e ufano explica duma certa maneira o aspecto matuto rígido e artificial da quadrilha. No entanto, hoje em dia, essa artificialidade rural é vista pelos foliões como uma atitude lúdica, teatral e festiva, mais do que como a expressão de um ideal folclórico, nacionalista ou acadêmico qualquer. Seja como for, é correto afirmar que a quadrilha deve a sua sobrevivência urbana na segunda metade do século XX e o grande sucesso popular atual aos cuidados meticulosos de associações e clubes juninos da classe média e ao trabalho educativo de conservação e prática feito pelos estabelecimentos do ensino primário e secundário, mais do que à prática campesina real, ainda que vivaz, porém quase sempre desprezada pela cultura citadina. Desde do século XIX e em contato com diferentes danças do país mais antigas, a quadrilha sofreu influências regionais, daí surgindo muitas variantes: "Quadrilha Caipira" (São Paulo) "Saruê", corruptela do termo francês "soirée", (Brasil Central) "Baile Sifilítico" (Bahia) "Mana-Chica" (Rio de Janeiro) "Quadrilha" (Sergipe) "Quadrilha Matuta" Hoje em dia, entre os instrumentos musicais que normalmente podem acompanhar a quadrilha encontram-se o acordeão (acordeom), pandeiro, zabumba, violão, triângulo e o cavaquinho. Não existe uma música específica que seja própria a todas as regiões. A música é aquela comum aos bailes de roça, em compasso binário ou de marchinha, que favorece o cadenciamento das marcações.
