Spring Break 2014 - Yokohama —> Miyagi

March 24: I had some time to kill before taking the night bus back to Nagoya, so I stopped off at the Pokemon Center again. This was taken at 5:45pm on a Monday evening - it was so empty I thought for a second that it was closed (there were a few kids off to the right playing their 3DSes, but that’s it).

I don't think I've ever gone into depth about Yasuhiro's birthplace, and the only inference we get is that he's got some trace of Tohoku in him by his dialogue; in the NISA version, it's harder to pick up on that, much less any difference in accent. I don't remember seeing any English-translated notes, but the Project Zetsubo/Oren LP specifies it: "Hagakure ends a lot of his sentences with -be, a feature of the Touhoku Japanese dialect. This is so prominent in his speech that I chose to make it “‘right?” in English. It doesn't carry the exact same connotations but somehow sounds just right to my ears." In the Japanese voice-clips, you can hear how nasally he can be, and that's a trait with Tohoku-ben. One of those “lost in translation things” to some extent. There's only one other character that shares such a trait that I know of, and that's Teruteru Hanamura. Tohoku-ben is also called Zuuzuu-ben, because it sounds like buzzing, or someone with a terrible cold. The accents are on the thick side. A few ways that Tohoku tends to be interpreted (that I’ve seen) are American Cajun/Texan/Southern, since the stereotyped attitude towards Tohoku speakers is that they can be dumber than a bag of hammers and lazier than molasses. Tokyo-ben, then, is what a Tohoku-speaker might hide behind. Like Mad Moxxi from Borderlands. So here’s a long headcanon about his birthplace I’ve been brewing. This will, of course, change with different verses. But the constant will be, for the most part, a coastal city that's going to be considered stick country.

I headcanon that he was born in Happo in the Tohoku area, right on the border of Happo and Noshiro to be exact. He'd tell you that when he was a kid, those two places tended to blend in. He'd compare them to having two provinces on the same street. As much as people might rag on him about being a backwater bumpkin, Happo does have shrines, colleges, schools, and plenty of parks to run around. Hot springs were a delight for him in the winter when he was old enough to go. In fact, it even has a Pokemon center: X When his family was "whole", as he'd tell you, food wasn't so hard to come by since it could be fetched from the farmer markets.While most fruits get his vote, pumpkins, strawberries, and pears. Since persimmons are more expensive, he's exceptionally fond of them. He likes both types of persimmons; the more astringent has a "kick" to it. Fruits weren't quite as expensive in Happo as he remembers it compared to getting them in city areas, since they were practically homegrown. If Yasuhiro likes you well enough, he'll sometimes think of a nickname for you relating to food. One of the nicknames he'll give to Chihiro, for example, is Stringbean, because he thinks that Chihiro's skirt looks like a basket and his shirt is the "stringbean" coming out of it.

Things that Yasuhiro tell you about his time in Happo that will make him wax nostalgic: -The petting zoo/farm where he would sometimes visit. -Running around barefoot around the hills. -Fishing trips with his father. -Scaring his mother with beetles and one candy snake--it was only once. -Making a seasonal clubhouse with trees and dirt, with his friends (and in particular, his closest friend Kurihara Masabumi at that time). -Learning about hanakotoba, regional flowers, and herbal remedies from his grandmother, despite their rocky relationship. He also thinks he got his lack of social filter from her, too. -And some more memories, of course.

Of course, Yasuhiro might want to bring you to Happo if he's exceptionally keen on you romantically or platonically before The Tragedy hits. He swells up with pride when people talk about the Akita-inu, since that's a dog from his prefecture--and don't tell him otherwise. After The Tragedy, assuming that he'll make his way over there to begin with, he'll have mixed feelings about being in Happo again; he'll tell you that he felt some emptiness when his supposed friends never reached out to him after he moved to Ueno. Underneath his happiest moments in Happo, there was far more strife that's made his time there less enjoyable. A man can't go home twice, he'll say. One of the ways he'll show that he's matured since he's come back is to tell you that he'd much prefer to make better memories with you.

#pthc #this also makes sense considering he tends to be the comic relief #tldr this guy is a rural man throughout his verses for the most part

Part 1 of Japan Souvenir haul.

1) I would’ve shown you all the amount of stuff I got at the Pokemon Center. but most of it is cards for my stepbrother. I think I got like $20 worth of pokemon cards more or less. The bag was actually free but I should’ve picked the two free postcards due to the amount of stuff I packed. Still, very helpful in holding my charms and pins. My favorite is the Ditto plush because they didn’t have the one I wanted so I choose the blob.

2) Shiroishi Castle haul. The washi tape, charm, and pin are from the castle gift shop. The origami paper is from the Kokeshi museum gift shop. The noodles are called umen noodles, which is a local specialty. I got the carrot flavor ones. Supposedly, you’re supposed to eat them hot in broth, but I ate the cold version due to the heat. Umen noodles are supposed to be for health reasons and if you have an upset stomach. They are very good.

3&4) All the stuff I got at Tohoku University gift shop. Japan has a lot of clear file type of folders.

Stars over Sendai

A good evening after a long day again!

I had agreed to meet up with my Japanese friend at Sendai station, so I got up early and drove the (this time correct) train to Omiya in Saitama, from where I caught the Hayabusa shinkansen to Sendai. It took slightly over an hour then to make it to Sendai at 10 AM, just when all the festivities would have started. I met my friend and together we quickly already reserved train tickets for the way back, since the Tanabata festival draws in about 2 million visitors each year… Obviously not all at the same moment, but the trains were definitely busy.

After that, travel time! We sought out the bus stop for the loop bus, very creatively called the Loople Bus, which looks like a cute retro bus and loops around the main attractions in the city in one direction. You can get a day pass which also gives you discounts, so naturally, we went with that.

Our first stop after early lunch was the Zuihoden mausoleum. It’s actually a complex of several mausolea of Date Masamune, a famous samurai lord, and his heirs. Masamuna was known as the ‘one-eyed dragon’ (since he had one eye, you see), and was one of the most powerful daimyo (lords) in the region. He was the founder of Sendai city, so it’s a name you see a lot here. His traditional appearance is very striking since he’s known for his golden headgear, shaped like a crescent moon. He’s also the one who appreciated the Tanabata festival so much that it became such a big deal in Sendai, though we’ll be getting to that later.

Actually, the Zuihoden and the other buildings are all rebuilt: at the end of World War 2, Sendai was bombed and the buildings burnt down. The reconstructions were done in the original style, and though that does mean they look very flashy and new, it does give off a genuine feeling.

It is quite the uphill walk to the Zuihoden, the actual mausoleum of Masamune where they’ve enshrined a wooden statue of him. On the corners of the mausoleum, you can spot dragon heads, true to his nickname. There’s also a museum right next to it, which opened with information about Tanabata until you got into the real exhibition: that of excavated items found when the mausolea for the second and third Date lords were reconstructed. This was super interesting, because they’d found remains of both the three lords as well as their swords and armors. No replicas, but the real deals, and in pretty good condition at that. They also had replicas of their skulls on display along with facial reconstructions, and actual bone and hair fragments of Masamune, which is both a little creepy as well as fascinating, because he lived in the 17th century. And here we were, four hundred years later, and they had been able to tell from his bones exactly how tall he’d been and what his blood type was. Masamune also sympathized with foreign causes, meaning he was interested in technology from outside Japan and didn’t exactly like the presecutions of Christians that the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu insisted upon, although there was little he could do about it. (Make no mistake, he was still a brutal warlord.) Anyway, it also meant that they’d uncovered the remains of a pair of glasses for one of the other two lords. Impressive.

We made our way to the other two mausolea next, the Kansenden for Date Tadamune and the Zennoden for Date Tsunamune, second and third daimyo respectively. They look pretty much alike, and these too are rebuilds after being destroyed in the fires. There were also stone tablets for numerous other Date lords, including one that only lived to the age of 17. Nice times, you can tell.

Anyway, after the interesting history lesson, we made our way back out again, past the now put up Tanabata decorations and the warning plates for wasps (understandable), snakes (… right, we’re on the other side of the planet here), and bears (wait, come again?). The Loople Bus had just arrived, so we ran for it and made it, along with the fifty or so other people who wanted to get on. I’m still amazed that we all fit, because these buses look tiny, but I guess the Japanese are just used to being crammed into vehicles? Anyway, we got off two stops later, to something I had been really looking forward to: Sendai or Aoba Castle.

Truth being told, not a whole lot is left of it. Very unsurprisingly, Date Masamune started the construction of this castle, although a main keep was never finished. The whole castle mostly served as headquarters and administrative center rather than a defensive force, and it was destroyed a couple of times in earthquakes and fires. By 1870, most of the castle was dismantled after the downfall of the shogunate, and in 1945, whatever remained was destroyed completely.

All that’s left is the outer stone walls and a guard tower, and it’s quite a climb to get there as it’s on a mountain top (Aoba mountain), looking out over the city of Sendai. Atop is a statue of Masamune on horseback, which is a pretty iconic statue you’ll see constantly if you visit Sendai.

The view was great, and we could actually spot the great Kannon statue in the distance once the clouds shifted a bit (it was cloudy all day, but not a drop of rain). It’s white, so that was a startling sight, haha. (I wanted to visit it, but it’s on the opposite end of the city. It IS the second tallest statue in Japan though, at 100 metres tall. Maybe next time!)

Walking around the premises, we came across a group of actors carrying a paper mached version of Masamune over to the main area, where they re-enacted one of the famous battles, haha. It was fun, though mostly for the kids present. Instead, we made our way to the Aoba Castle museum, which has assorted artifacts and scale models of the castle. It’s a bit tricky if you don’t speak Japanese (or are too tired to really focus at this point, like me, haha), because there’s no information in English at all. There’s a movie playing with more information about the castle, which is really interesting, even if it’s narrated by two talking birds and a talking soy bean, haha. Apparently head sets with English audio were available, but I missed out on those. Just for the record!

I was getting pretty tired, but I really liked the visit to this castle, even though not a whole lot is left of it. (It still made the Top 100 anyway, because half that top is ruins, I swear.) With it being close to 5 o’clock, all major attractions were closing anyway, so it was time to go into the direction of the station – time for Tanabata!

The Tanabata Festival finds its roots in a star-crossed lovers story, literally. It involves the stars Vega and Altair, or Orihime (the weaving princess) and Hikoboshi (cow herder). Orihime weaved clothes for her father the sky king, but once she fell in love with Hikoboshi from across the river known as the Milky Way, she neglected her weaving and Hikoboshi let his cows run wild. Thus, Orihime’s dad separated the two using the river, but struck a bargain with them: if they fulfill their duties, they’d get to meet once a year on the 7th day of the 7th month, when a group of magpies will make a bridge with their wings so Orihime can cross and meet Hikoboshi. Unless it rains during the festival, in which case they have to wait another year. During this time of the year, the stars Vega and Altair are shimmering on opposite sides of the visible part of the Milky Way in the skies – that is, if you’re in an area with a clear sky and no light pollution, haha.

So that’s why it’s the star festival! It’s also a summer festival, so that means a lot of food and game stands, open air musical performances and lots of people in yukata. It was a fun sight and I really enjoyed being able to attend an actual summer festival in Japan, because I’ve always missed out on them by a hair (never been in Japan at July 7), and the fireworks festival at Asakusa is so huge that you kind of lose the feeling of an actual festival.

After lingering around this park area for a while and having a super responsible dinner (I had an omelette-clad sausage, takoyaki (octopus dumplings) and a chocolate covered banana, and it was pink too), we slowly made our way back to the station, but traveling the decorated shopping roads.

This was pretty amazing! The streets were lined with countless kushidama, large paper balls with long streamers. Those streamers are meant to represent the string Orihime uses in her weaving. They are donated from all over Japan; I just read up on it and found out that the ones featuring cranes most likely came from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as paper cranes symbolize the lives lost in the atomic bomb blasts. And well, Sendai was the biggest city hit by the earthquake in 2011 – no doubt there were decorations for them, too.

On a more cheerful note, these decorations were amazing and seemingly endless; all colourful, some simple, some extraordinarily detailed, and some featuring historical figures or well, Pokemon, haha. You can also find racks of bamboo, where you can write a wish on a slip of paper and hang them on the bamboo. These will be either burnt or set adrift down the river at the end of the festival to carry your wish.

Just talking about it doesn’t really do it justice. I realize that saying ‘yay food and pretty decorations’ doesn’t really sell a festival, but actually being there made me realize just why this is considered one of the biggest festivals in the country. I really loved it and I was super glad to have made my visit to Sendai in this time.

Sadly, our train was scheduled to depart, but I’m far from done with Sendai and I’ll definitely be back here, whenever that might be.

And now, time for bed, although I have no idea yet what I’m going to do tomorrow. I’m getting kind of worn out, haha. Tomorrow is the last day I can use my JR pass, so I might go do my Kamakura-Ofuna-Enoshima route, or just skip around Tokyo a bit, who knows. On Wednesday, I’ll be meeting up with my friend one last time in Yokohama, and then Thursday is my last full day in Tokyo… I think I’ll use that time to go visit Shibuya once more and say my goodbyes to Ikebukuro. It already makes me sad thinking about it, actually. Let’s not and let’s just enjoy these last couple of days to the fullest!
