Shogun

The shoguns of medieval Japan were military dictators who ruled the country via a feudal system where a vassal's military service and loyalty was given in return for a lord's patronage. Established as an institution by the first shogun proper, Minamoto no Yoritomo in 1192 CE, the shoguns would rule for seven centuries until the Meiji Restoration of 1868 CE. The position of shogun was held by members of certain families which gave their names to two of the three successive shogunate governments (bakufu): the Ashikaga Shogunate (r. 1338-1573 CE) and Tokugawa Shogunate (r. 1603-1868 CE). In the case of the first shogunate, the capital gave its name to the government: the Kamakura Shogunate (r. 1192-1333 CE). The other shogunates may also be referred to by their capitals: Muromachi (Ashikaga Shogunate), an area of Heiankyo/Kyoto, and Edo (Tokugawa Shogunate), the original name of Tokyo.

Birthdays are for treating yourself, and for mine, I went to #nijocastle for the first time in ages! The nightingale floor is so much easier to appreciate when you're the only one walking on it. And the gardens were, of course, lovely in the rain! #stefaniewhat #kyoto #japan #nijojo https://www.instagram.com/p/CREEnxHss7T/?utm_medium=tumblr

Kyoto, Nijo Castle, illumination – Naked Flower 2021 https://www.ice-blog.com/travel/jp/kyoto/nijo-illumination_naked_flowers/ The illumination is great. NAKED Inc. (株式会社ネイキッド) is one leading company for illumination (Light up). They also have several AR & VR works. In this exhibition, you may download AR app. This app can add AR objects to a camera screen. I noticed that when a tree is detected, virtual sakura may be shown. It is recommended to install it beforehand (check their site). #sakura #sakura2021 #cherryblossom #cherryblossoms #nijocastle #lightup #kyoto #japan #travel #photograph (at Nijō Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMtf9I6lD6s/?igshid=ygnd77bhfxm

It's always wonderful to notice something new in a place that you have passed by for years. Today, I finally took some time to notice and appreciate the stonework on the walls of Nijo Castle. There's no mortar between the stones and the sheer number and size of them is awe inspiring. In the first picture you can see where there was once a bridge to the gate. #japanesestonework #nijocastle #kyoto (at Nijō Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/B36xP0dATSq/?igshid=1gwfd51zvz95k

Nijo Castle was fantastic. It was such a hot day that it kind of looks like my lens melted a bit - assuming that it just needed a good clean and so there’s a smudgedness about most of these... Clouds were small mercies and it felt like a million miles and years from the downpours of Tokyo.
