/&gt;&lt;br

Lazio?) and people, see you next time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8722453047036438932-8969623432164309299?l=mynihongoclass.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/feeds/8969623432164309299/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8722453047036438932&amp;postID=8969623432164309299' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/8969623432164309299'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/8969623432164309299'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/2008/02/blog-post.html' title='イタリアへ   いった   ことが   ありますか。'/><author><name>Amy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17496257193940430655</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/R7ucXwPMONI/AAAAAAAAAB8/7cq4Picg4ro/s72-c/JH071224_Rome_027.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722453047036438932.post-1122042688727155646</id><published>2008-02-03T12:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-03T13:23:16.795-08:00</updated><title type='text'>an uneventful weekend...</title><content type='html'>きのうのばん かんこくのスーパへいきました。 あのスーパは New Jersey に あります。スーパの なまえは H-Mart です。 H-Mart は おおきくて、ひとが おおか&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;つ&lt;/span&gt;たです。かんこくりょうりをたべて、やさいとくだものをかいました。それから、うちへ くるまで かえりました。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;きょう たくさん しゅくだいがありますが、テレビを みたいです(Super Bowl です)。よくほんを よみますが、 Buffalo wingsとguacamoleを たべたいです。じかんが ありませんから、こんばん ねません。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8722453047036438932-1122042688727155646?l=mynihongoclass.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/feeds/1122042688727155646/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8722453047036438932&amp;postID=1122042688727155646' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/1122042688727155646'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/1122042688727155646'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/2008/02/uneventful-weekend.html' title='an uneventful weekend...'/><author><name>Amy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17496257193940430655</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722453047036438932.post-5917123577033208257</id><published>2008-01-28T18:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-28T19:10:23.897-08:00</updated><title type='text'>わたしの りょこう</title><content type='html'>ふゆやすみに かぞくとイタリアへ  いきました。とてもびじゅつかんへいきました。てんきは さむかつたです。つかれましたが, あそびました。わたしは  ごかい イタリアへ  いきました。イタリアの びじゅつは きれいです。そしておもしろいです。イタリアの りょうりはおいしいですが, たかいです。(As you have already discovered, my account of our family trip to Italy seems to have been written by a 5-year-old.

This information will be much appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Tohaku work is a fusuma painting titled “Maple Tree.” Originally it was created for Shounji , a temple built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi for the salvation of his three-year-old son Tsurumatsu. Following the fall of Hideyoshi’s faction in 1615, the temple was destroyed and the surviving paintings were installed in the Shingon temple of Chishakuin, where they were cut down to fit the smaller dimensions of fusuma there. Considered masterworks of Tohaku’s blue-and gold style, a single maple tree is depicted over four panels with its leaves beginning to turn color. The branches reach downward in an un-naturalistic fashion, as tension is created between the massive trunk and the delicate leaves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8722453047036438932-9118688408132443798?l=mynihongoclass.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/feeds/9118688408132443798/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8722453047036438932&amp;postID=9118688408132443798' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/9118688408132443798'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/9118688408132443798'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/2007/12/hasegawa-tohaku.html' title='Hasegawa Tohaku 長谷川とうはく'/><author><name>Amy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17496257193940430655</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/R1L7pGkhBRI/AAAAAAAAABs/mcFlH1EDYGk/s72-c/Picture1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722453047036438932.post-3427011447157609036</id><published>2007-11-12T15:53:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T01:13:33.207-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Kano Eitoku's Lions</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/RzjnmOOLj0I/AAAAAAAAABk/cXEv0Rd9BLM/s1600-h/Picture3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132106419227299650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/RzjnmOOLj0I/AAAAAAAAABk/cXEv0Rd9BLM/s320/Picture3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kano Eitoku 狩野えいとく&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Considered the most prominent painter of the Momoyama 桃山period, Kano Eitoku (1543-1590) was talented as he was prolific. He and the studio that he lead were commissioned to paint numerous fusuma ふすま (painting on sliding doors) for shogunal palaces (such as the Azuchi Castle, built by the great shogun Oda Nobunaga 織田信長), and imperial palaces. Although many of these works, like the once glorious Azuchi Castle, have been destroyed in the turbulent years during the end of the 16th century, a few of Eitoku’s finest works remain as testaments to the diverse oeuvre created by Eitoku.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of such is the “Mythological Chinese Lions” (late 1580’s, six-panel folding screen, colors and gold leaf on paper) currently housed at the Imperial Household Collection. According to one tradition, the screen was supposedly presented by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to the warlord Mori Terumoto as a conciliatory offering at the time of the siege of Takamatsu Castle in 1582. Careful evaluation of Eitoku’s stylistic development seems to cast doubt on this possibility, for scholars are inclined to date the screen several years later, 1587 or 1588.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bold and monumental style of these two beasts is exemplary of Eitoku’s brush later in his career. The size of the screen, 222.8 x 452 cm, empowers the appearance of the lions to be enormous and imposing. The dearth of depth in Eitoku’s depiction, placing the lions to the very foreground of the composition, brings the lions next to the physical space of the room. The lions’s confrontation with the viewers demands attention, while manifesting themselves as mythical beings with their unusual appearance. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8722453047036438932-3427011447157609036?l=mynihongoclass.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/feeds/3427011447157609036/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8722453047036438932&amp;postID=3427011447157609036' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/3427011447157609036'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/3427011447157609036'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/2007/11/kano-eitokus-lions.html' title='Kano Eitoku&apos;s Lions'/><author><name>Amy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17496257193940430655</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/RzjnmOOLj0I/AAAAAAAAABk/cXEv0Rd9BLM/s72-c/Picture3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722453047036438932.post-2834222111506256999</id><published>2007-11-06T09:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-06T10:06:07.218-08:00</updated><title type='text'>composition #2</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;やまださん、 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;おげんきですか。わたしは アイミーです。コロンビアの だいがくいんせです。ちゅうごくと にほんの びじゅつを べんきょうします。にほんごが すこし わかります。えいごと ちゅうごくごが よく わかります。そして フランスごが だいたい わかります。わたしの が&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;つ&lt;/span&gt;こうの せいかつは とても いそがしいですが、たのしいです。せんせいは ゆうめいですが、しんせつです。 げつようびから もくようびまで がつこうへ いきます。まいにち べんきょします。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;わたしは りょうりが じょうずですが、まいにち りょうりを しません。じかんが ありませんから。でも、にほんの りょうりが すきです。やまださんは どんな りょうりが すきですか。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;らいねんの ろくがつ ついたちに とうきょうへ いきます。やまださんは やまとえと にほんの びじゅつが すきですか。い&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;つ&lt;/span&gt;しょに びじゅつかんへ いきませんか。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;よろしくおねがいします。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;じゅういちがつ ようか&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;アイミー&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8722453047036438932-2834222111506256999?l=mynihongoclass.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/feeds/2834222111506256999/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8722453047036438932&amp;postID=2834222111506256999' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/2834222111506256999'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/2834222111506256999'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/2007/11/composition-2.html' title='composition #2'/><author><name>Amy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17496257193940430655</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722453047036438932.post-9110291148381791722</id><published>2007-10-28T17:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-28T17:40:14.314-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Met</title><content type='html'>こんしゅうの すいようびに わたしは せんせいと The Metびじゅつかんへ いきます。 ちゅうごくの が を みます。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will be my first trip to the Met viewing Chinese painting from the storage, not in the exhibition area. As a fledgling art historian, I must say that viewing works of art in person is completely different from looking at slides in class or reproductions in catalogues. I am quite excited about our visit to the Met, except that there will be a big Japanese exam the next day and that definitely dampens the excitement…(hint to my Sensei…)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, I still very much look forward to it. A few weeks ago, Professor McKelway took a few of us graduate students to the Burke Collection, the largest and most prestigious private collection of Japanese art outside of Japan. All I have to say is that, Japanese screen painting has never looked so vivid and brilliant. I think I have been spoiled, and reproduction will never satisfy me again. In the US, accessibility of great works of art is only available in New York – one of the main reasons that I came to Columbia. So those of you who flinches at the thought of visiting museums, いつしょに  びじゅつかんへ  いきませんか。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8722453047036438932-9110291148381791722?l=mynihongoclass.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/feeds/9110291148381791722/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8722453047036438932&amp;postID=9110291148381791722' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/9110291148381791722'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/9110291148381791722'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/2007/10/met.html' title='The Met'/><author><name>Amy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17496257193940430655</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722453047036438932.post-4196817295448901298</id><published>2007-10-21T16:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-21T17:57:48.205-07:00</updated><title type='text'>to my teachers and classmates</title><content type='html'>Actually, I quite like my Japanese class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I do. Contrary to my incessant complains about the work load and the never-ending daily quizzes, I enjoy my Japanese class. My teachers, Sato Sensei and Nazikian Sensei are phenomenal; my classmates (mostly undergrad little kids) are comical and entertaining; and the course content at times can be just downright funny (Has anyone else discovered the sections titled “How to Use a Japanese Bath” and “How to Use the Toilet” on page 69 in the yellow book?) What is a sleep-deprived art history graduate student to do but to fall in love with all of the above?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly, one of the reasons I enjoy this class is the fact that I can be more relaxed during class. Unlike my other graduate courses, where I frequently hear the familiar lines such as “Amy, what do you think of the arguments made by Cahill and Fong?” or “Amy, can you tell us which of the two juxtaposed painting preceded the other and why?” or “Amy, [insert a very difficult art historical question]?” At the sound of my name, I know a tough question is about to spring onto me and I have about 3 seconds to rack my brains, recall some passages from the 750 pages that I read in the previous week, and come up with something remotely intelligent to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My loving Japanese teachers are much more forgiving when I blank out and brain-freeze – which happens frequently due to the fact that after the grueling graduate courses in the morning, my spent brain with no lunch usually doesn’t function very well at 1 pm. My equally sympathetic classmates are very helpful when we work on oral exercises. My lab TA has also shown tremendous patience and has been very kind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I dedicate this blog, with all the previous and future postings – current posting written by a very tired and grumpy graduate student who just returned from her sister-in-law’s 3-day wedding celebration in Long Island and has so much work and reading to do that she will probably stay up very late tonight – to Sato Sensei, Nazikian Sensei, my lab TA (Tanaka Sensei? Please don’t be offended if I got your name wrong), and my classmates. Without you, I wouldn’t have lasted this long.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8722453047036438932-4196817295448901298?l=mynihongoclass.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/feeds/4196817295448901298/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8722453047036438932&amp;postID=4196817295448901298' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/4196817295448901298'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/4196817295448901298'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/2007/10/to-my-teachers-and-classmates.html' title='to my teachers and classmates'/><author><name>Amy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17496257193940430655</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722453047036438932.post-7732366227933683683</id><published>2007-10-15T17:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T01:13:33.825-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Do you like snowboarding?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/RxQC68i5htI/AAAAAAAAABM/oGomrKupTec/s1600-h/Snowboard+20050212+07.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121721887935268562" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/RxQC68i5htI/AAAAAAAAABM/oGomrKupTec/s400/Snowboard+20050212+07.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; こんばんは。わたしは しちじはんに ばんごはんを たべました。それから べんきょうしました。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Snowboarding は にほんごで なんですか。Because right now I rather talk about snowboarding than study. These pictures were taken during one of our trips to Squaw Valley (by Lake Tahoe, where the 1960 Winter Olympics was held) &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/RxQC7si5huI/AAAAAAAAABU/ZCm2mquZa8w/s1600-h/Snowboard+20050305+04.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121721900820170466" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/RxQC7si5huI/AAAAAAAAABU/ZCm2mquZa8w/s400/Snowboard+20050305+04.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. In the second picture, you could see Lake Tahoe in the distance and I was sitting at 8,200 feet elevation. That's one of the main things I miss about San Francisco - you are just a 3-hour drive away from the world-class skiing of Lake Tahoe, and there are dozens of ski resorts to choose from. There are 4000 acres of skiable terrain in Squaw Valley alone. 4000 ACRES! Apparently, there is nothing comparable here at the east coast. I guess I just need to take up a new winter activity, such as ...knitting? Any suggestions? Honestly, I am not a great snowboarder - I still get face-plants. But despite the occasional, inevitable face-plants, I still enjoy it immensely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/RxQC8Mi5hvI/AAAAAAAAABc/MdkDpeNsL4U/s1600-h/Snowboard+20050305+02.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121721909410105074" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/RxQC8Mi5hvI/AAAAAAAAABc/MdkDpeNsL4U/s400/Snowboard+20050305+02.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8722453047036438932-7732366227933683683?l=mynihongoclass.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/feeds/7732366227933683683/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8722453047036438932&amp;postID=7732366227933683683' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/7732366227933683683'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/7732366227933683683'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/2007/10/do-you-like-snowboarding.html' title='Do you like snowboarding?'/><author><name>Amy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17496257193940430655</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/RxQC68i5htI/AAAAAAAAABM/oGomrKupTec/s72-c/Snowboard+20050212+07.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722453047036438932.post-607827393035634713</id><published>2007-10-09T10:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-09T11:00:27.798-07:00</updated><title type='text'>えいがーLust, Caution</title><content type='html'>土曜日わたしは　映画をみました。たまごとぎゅうにゅうを　かいました。にちようび　わたしは　べんきょうしました。じゅうにじに　ねました。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;じゃ、またらいしゅう。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8722453047036438932-607827393035634713?l=mynihongoclass.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/feeds/607827393035634713/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8722453047036438932&amp;postID=607827393035634713' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/607827393035634713'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/607827393035634713'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/2007/10/lust-caution.html' title='えいがーLust, Caution'/><author><name>Amy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17496257193940430655</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722453047036438932.post-2976256324191679066</id><published>2007-10-07T11:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-07T11:50:25.947-07:00</updated><title type='text'>family time in Paris &amp; London</title><content type='html'>こんにちは。きょねん かぞくと フランスとイギリス へ  いきました。 びじゅつかんへ タクシーで いきました。ことし かぞくと イタリアへ いきます。Ok, it took me a while to figure out how to enter Katagana on my software, NJ Star.

Meanwhile, I am ashamed to admit that despite the fact that this will be my fifth trip to Italy, I speak minimum Italian. One definitely gets a better cultural experience (and receives better treatment from the locals) when one speaks the native language. I experienced this phenomenon every time we went to Paris. Being able to speak French has enhanced my travel considerably.

Ashikaga あしかが足利is the name of the shogunal family which headed the bakufu ばくふ幕府 (literally “tent government,” the term applied to the shogun’s government) that controlled Japan during the Muromachiむろまち室町 period. During theももやまperiod, Japan was dominated byおだのぶながandとよとみひでよし; ももやま is the name of the sumptuous castle built byひでよしin 1593 on the hill ofふしみ, south ofきょと. The emperor, while technically headed the court during these periods, virtually served the role of a symbolic figure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you still awake? Ok, let’s give you a taste of the monuments from theむろまちperiod, the era that preceded our main subject, theももやまperiod.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first image is an anonymous painting, &lt;em&gt;Portrait of a Mounted Warrior&lt;/em&gt;, traditionally identified as Ashikaga Takauji (Hanging scroll; ink and colors on silk. 14th c.); it shows what the firstあしかがshogun might have looked like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other picture shows the famous &lt;em&gt;Kinkakuji&lt;/em&gt;きんかくじ金閣寺, the “Temple of the Golden Pavilion.” It was first built byあしかがよしみつ in 1397. You will have to wait until next week for more on theきんかくじ, because I am hungry and in desperately need of chocolate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/RvWrx5pgpOI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6NivHDHWBew/s1600-h/Picture1.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/RvWrx5pgpOI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6NivHDHWBew/s1600-h/Picture1.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8722453047036438932-1226546165603257800?l=mynihongoclass.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/feeds/1226546165603257800/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8722453047036438932&amp;postID=1226546165603257800' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/1226546165603257800'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8722453047036438932/posts/default/1226546165603257800'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mynihongoclass.blogspot.com/2007/09/all-images-shown-are-through-courtesy.html' title='before ももやま, there wasむろまち...'/><author><name>Amy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17496257193940430655</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Sxuj2Gts3Xc/RvWxOppgpUI/AAAAAAAAAA8/wUiTeNywsyI/s72-c/Picture1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722453047036438932.post-3622880386879097888</id><published>2007-09-16T15:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-16T15:13:18.235-07:00</updated><title type='text'>painting in the ももやま(桃山) period</title><content type='html'>こんばわ みなさん。Beginning this week, I will post a series of blogs about the painting of the ももやまperiod.
