84. The Abacus: A Brief History
    The evolution of the abacus can be divided into three ages ancient Times, The 1/4 abacus, a style preferred and still manufactured in japan today,  
    http://www.ee.ryerson.ca:8080/~elf/abacus/history.html
    
    Extractions: Abacus is a Latin word that has its origins in the Greek words abax or abakon (meaning "table" or "tablet") which in turn, possibly originated from the Semitic word abq , meaning "sand" It is difficult to imagine counting without numbers, but there was a time when written numbers did not exist. The earliest counting device was the human hand and its fingers. Then, as larger quantities (larger than ten human-fingers could represent) were counted, various natural items like pebbles and twigs were used to help count. Merchants who traded goods not only needed a way to count goods they bought and sold, but also to calculate the cost of those goods. Until numbers were invented, counting devices were used to make everyday calculations. The abacus is one of many counting devices invented to help count large numbers. It is important to distinguish the early abacuses (or abaci) known as counting boards from the modern abaci. The counting board is a piece of wood, stone or metal with carved grooves or painted lines between which beads, pebbles or metal discs were moved. The abacus is a device, usually of wood (plastic, in recent times), having a frame that holds rods with freely-sliding beads mounted on them. Both the abacus and the counting board are mechanical aids used for counting; they are not calculators in the sense we use the word today. The person operating the abacus performs calculations in their head and uses the abacus as a physical aid to keep track of the sums, the carrys, etc.

    Extractions: Home Articles History of Ju-Jitsu > Ancient History Legendary History Ancient History How old is Ju-jitsu? The beginning of the Samurai ... The Jitsu Foundation In fact, there is no single source of Juj-itsu. Its history is one of convergence not divergence. The best answer to the question "How old is Ju-jitsu?" is simply "It depends on what you call Ju-jitsu". There is no magic syllabus which contains it and nor has there been a time when people stopped adding or discarding techniques. Another problem, is that some people use the term to describe very specific schools while other people use it as a general term for all the Japanese fighting arts. What we can say is that humans have always fought each other. So unarmed combat has always existed in Japan as it has everywhere else. It first touches history in "The Chronicle of Japan". This was written in 720 AD and mentions a contest of unarmed fighting taking place in 230 BC. This event is claimed as the beginning of Sumo. But this is not really evidence of the systematic study of a recognisable system. For evidence of that we have to wait for the

89. A Detailed History Of Bonsai...
    A detailed history of bonsai and how this simple art has evolved through the ages. In an ancient japanese scroll written in japan around the Kamakura  
    http://www.bonsaisite.com/history1.html
    
    Extractions: A Detailed History of Bonsai... Bonsai first appeared in China over a thousand years ago on a very basic scale, known as pun-sai , where it was the practice of growing single specimen trees in pots. These early specimens displayed sparse foliage and rugged, gnarled trunks which often looked like animals, dragons and birds. There are a great number of myths and legends surrounding Chinese bonsai, and the grotesque or animal-like trunks and root formations are still highly prized today. Chinese bonsai come from the landscape of the imagination and images of fiery dragons and coiled serpents take far greater precedence over images of trees- so the two forms of this art are quite far apart. With Japan's adoption of many cultural trademarks of China - bonsai was also taken up, introduced to Japan during the Kamakura period (1185 - 1333) by means of Zen Buddhism - which at this time was rapidly spreading around Asia. The exact time is debatable, although it is possible that it had arrived in AD 1195 as there appears to be a reference to it in a Japanese scroll attributed to that period. Once bonsai was introduced into Japan, the art was refined to an extent not yet approached in China. Over time, the simple trees were not just confined to the Buddhist monks and their monasteries, but also later were introduced to be representative of the aristocracy - a symbol of prestige and honour. The ideals and philosophy of bonsai were greatly changed over the years. For the Japanese, bonsai represents a fusion of strong ancient beliefs with the Eastern philosophies of the harmony between man, the soul and nature.

    http://www.rekihaku.ac.jp/e_news/index64/
    
    Extractions: Go to the original page in Japanese To explain the process of how Japan, which had no written language, received written characters from China and how it was possible for Japan to develop its own system of writing while under the strong influence of ancient Korea. At the beginning of the 8th century, that foreign influence planted the seed for Japanese works such as Kojiki, Nihon Shoki, Man'yoshu and the "world of documents from the Shoso-in" . Documents from the Shoso-in are indispensable, basic research materials for the study of ancient Japanese history. However, they are only displayed to the public on special occasions. There are few examples in the world of a huge collection of 1,200-year-old writings preserved in good condition. This is why we are taking on the task of reproducing in finest detail about 800 of

    Extractions: Kaido: The Ancient Roads of Japan Japan began to develop a nationwide network of roads from around the 7th century to carry foot, horseback, and wheeled traffic and transport goods between towns and villages. The major thoroughfares connecting the capital of Kyoto with the provinces were called kaido. There were seven kaido. The principal ones were the westbound route from Kyoto, the San'yodo, and the eastbound route, the Tokaido. These historical names have been preserved in the names of railway lines such as the San'yo and Tokaido Shinkansen routes that combine to link Kyushu with Tokyo. As time passed, lodgings for travelers along these highways grew into towns and routes that avoided steep passes came into being, so that traveling became easier. But construction of bridges and operation of ferries across some rivers were prohibited for reasons of military defense, and travelers were carried over on the shoulders of porters.

    With overview, photos, and Realaudio example of some of japan's oldest music.  
    http://aris.ss.uci.edu/rgarfias/gagaku/kagura.html
    
    Extractions: Kagura: The Japanese Ancient Sacred Music Kagura is characterized by purity and cleanliness. In austere and natural settings, ancient dances made as offerings to entertain the gods, often in setting in which no one other than the performers themselves are allowed to witness. The grounds of a Shinto shrine can be a simple structure as in many village or in the neighborhood shrines of big cities. Many of the large ones are afftected by local style and even take on some stylistic elements from Buddhist temples. The two oldest and most revered are the shrine of the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu-no O-Mikami at Ise and the shrine of Susanoo no O-Mikoto at Izumo. The Shrine at Izumo is great complex of structures in natural wood. These buildings retain elements which are thought to reflect architectural types going back to times preceeding the introduction of Chinese culture in the 6th Century. The Izumo Shrine The word, kagura, means "place of the gods" but it is written with characters which mean "music of the gods". Kagura, whether it is performed in the sacred prencints of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo or in some small village shrine, always signifies a musical performance intended as an offering and an entertainment to the ancient gods of Japan.

99. Kitora Kofun Explored
    Referenced article exploring this ancient Japanese kofun (burial mound). Astrological charts have been determined from the star paintings inside the tomb.  
    http://www2.gol.com/users/stever/kitora.htm
    
    Extractions: Revised September, 2002 As mentioned in the supplement to our article on Takamatsu Zuka Kofun The Controversy Continues , historians and archaeologists have long thought that more tombs nearby might contain similar "star paintings". One such tomb, located about 1 kilometer to the South of Takamatsu Zuka Kofun and named Kitora Kofun has now been explored. The tomb has not been actually entered but rather probed with sub-miniature camera. Archaeological dating places its construction within the same Asuka period (7th to early 8th centuries) as Takamatsu Zuka Kofun . While there are some remarkable similarities, there are also some anomalous differences in the paintings of the two tombs.

100. City Planning System Of The Ancient Bohai (Parhae) State (Summary)
     Using Corona satellite photos, Noboru Ogata, Kyoto University japan, studied city plans of an ancient kingdom which existed in northeastern China (7th 10th century AD).  
     http://www.users.kudpc.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~p51987/Bohai/summary-E.html
     
     Extractions: Japanese Noboru Ogata This paper examines the city planning system of the ancient Bohai State using recently declassified intelligence satellite (CORONA satellite) photos acquired in the 1960's by the United States. Based on the reconstructions made in my recent report, I tried to make clear some principles shared by those city planning. It is also intended to prove the usefulness of satellite images in historico-geographical and archaeological applications. The Bohai State was a kingdom which existed from 698 AD to 926 AD in the northeastern part of today's China ( Fig. 1 ). It was formed by the Tungusic people in association with refugees from Koguryo, which had fallen in 668. It actively imported Chinese culture and political system and boasted high standard of civilization. While bringing tribute to Tang China, it dispatched envoys to Japan many times across the sea. Since records by Bohai itself had been lost, we can only obtain a glimpse of its prosperity through Chinese histories and records in Japan concerning envoys as well as archaeological evidence.
