history
Gives brief summary of Kamakura history from the 12th century.
History Minamoto Era Roughly 900 years ago in the 12th century, the capital of Japan was Kyoto
Instead of killing him, the chieftain of the Taira clan banished him away from Kyoto to the countryside of the Izu {e-zoo} Peninsula, 90 kilometers southwest of Tokyo
After occupying Kyoto, Yoshinaka was nominated and named as the Supreme Commander by the Imperial Court in 1184, which, contrary to his expectation, incurred Yoritomo's distrust against him
In fear that Yoshinaka might obtain the ruling power in Kyoto, Yoritomo ordered Yoshitsune to take his life
Yoshitsune and his troops rushed to Kyoto, and eventually killed Yoshinaka destroying his forces completely
He abandoned himself to the culture in Kyoto, tanka or 31-one-syllable poem in particular, and was not much concerned with politics
His keen interest in Kyoto made the Imperial Court trust him, and he won speedy promotions
As the best alternative, the Hojos invited and appointed Kyoto aristocrat Yoritsune Kujo {yoh-re-tsu-neh koo-joe} (1218-1256), a child with whom Yoritomo had a distant kinship
To keep the Shogun only titular, young children from the aristocrats in Kyoto had always been named

Francis Britto's Brittopia: Laures, "Xavier in Yamaguchi"
Historical essay by the late John Laures, commemorating the 400th anniversary of
the arrival of St. Francis Xavier in Japan.
The 400th anniversary of that memorable day is to be celebrated in 1949 in Tokyo, Nagasaki and Kyoto-Osaka, the three great Catholic centers of Japan
Nor did he linger at Hirado long but set out for Kyoto, the capital arriving on the way at Yamaguchi in the middle of November, 1549
It is a well-known fact that at Kyoto he was no more successful than he had been at Yamaguchi
It was in the main due to this blind preacher's endeavor that the church of Kyoto was established and that men of noble lineage were won over to the faith

The following morning I rode the famous bullet train (`shinkansen' in Japanese) to Kyoto
I'd been a little concerned about my rendezvous in Kyoto; I had never gotten the name or local phone number of the people I was supposed to meet there, and had visions of missing them and having to navigate my way to Kyoto Sangyo University without more than my three or four words of Japanese to help
Wearing printed ``ESR In Kyoto'' name badges, no less
There was a little slack in the schedule, so we had time to visit one of Kyoto's landmarks located right near the train station; a Buddhist temple noted for the fact that Oda Nobunaga (the first of the three pivotal figures in the Unification Wars) was killed there by a disgruntled vassal
KSU computer room Then it was off to Kyoto Sangyo University for interviews and my talk
I found out later that Japanese from the Kansai (Kyoto/Kobe/Osaka) area have a reputation (which they relish themselves) for being relaxed and quick to see the humorous side of things
Maya's place at my right was claimed by Tomoko Yoshida, the colleague of Greg Peterson's who had with him co-organized my schedule in Kyoto

A short trip to Japan by Lynn Larrow
Lynn Larrow describes her trip to Kyoto, Nara and Tokyo in detail.
In, there are over 1600 Buddhist temples and 400 Shinto shrines! For a student of Eastern Philosophy, e.g., Taoism and Zen Buddhism, Kyoto was truly a Disneyland for the Mind
[Note: If you are planning a trip to Japan, check out .] Day 1 – Three Green Lights The first day was nearly all travel, an airport shuttle to SFO, a long non-stop, cramped, claustrophobic United air flight to Osaka, and limousine bus to Kyoto
On the limousine bus ride to Kyoto, I noticed that all the trucks had three green lights on the front of the cab
After what seemed like two hours, I arrived at Kyoto Station and was very spaced out
During my walk, I noticed that Kyoto is filled with young people riding bicycles on the sidewalks

Besides Kyoto, Matt and his friends had visited Hiroshima and you could tell this made quite an impression on Matt

selected chapters from the book of the same title.
was the center of political power, it attracted priests from Kyoto, and Buddhist temples had been built there in quick succession
He briefly returned to Seicho-ji in 1242, at the age of twenty-one, and wrote a treatise entitled "On Attaining Buddha hood through the Entity of Precepts." Then in order to study further the doctrines and sutras of various sects, he traveled to Kyoto and Nara, the centers of Buddhism in Japan
just north east of Kyoto, the Tendai sect had founded its head temple Enryaku-ji at Mount Hiei
and then I studied at Mount Hiei, Onjo-ji temple, Mount Koya and in other temples in the Kyoto and countryside regions." So he obviously did not confine his activities to Mount Hiei but searched also among the documents at other temples
By "the Kyoto region" he probably meant To-ji, another famous temple of the Shingon sect, and other temples which were located in the old capital
Already, it had been fourteen years since he had left for Kamakura and the Kyoto-Nara area
