7UpsideDown

I found these cool glasses at a yard sale a few years ago. Paula’s photo inspired me to take a picture of my own set. Of course, it’s an upside-down version of the classic Coke design. The only problem is that the narrow mouth makes them kinda tough to wash by hand.

Cleanse Yourself

This is one of the basins where you wash your hands and mouth before entering a shrine. (This particular one is located @ The Meji Shrine)

Beachwood at Tom Baird Creek

This is one of a large number of logs washed ashore near the mouth of Tom Baird Creek. Notice the many different textures in the rock: smooth, craggy, eroded. This is very typical of the shoreline in this area

Interestingly Liam’s mug contains his favourite drink, Listerine whereas Simon has opted for a more classy Armangac and lucozade… not really… or is it?

Moulmein Capital of Mon State mouth of Salween River


Image by cgnetwork2006
LOWER BURMA (Moulmein and vicinity)
Gaung-hsay-kyun-hpaya, on Gaung-hsay-kyun (Shampoo Island), lies a sliver pagoda across the Salween River. You espy a golden stupa. It ‘s Kyaik-than-lan, Kipling’s Pagoda, the locals say, in Moulmein, which is one of the most enchanting locations in all Burma.

Getting there
Moulmein, capital of Mon State and located at the mouth of the Salween River, was the British administrative center in the first half of the 19th century. Moulmein is the third largest city in Myanmar.
It is possible that you will reach the river crossing at Martaban (known as Mottama to the Burmese) in about eight hours.
Moulmein boasts the finest sunsets – and pomelos – in Burma, and, more surprisingly, one of the finest hotels, the Mawlamyine on Strand Road, Tel: 22560/21976. In bungalow style and enjoying a wonderful location by the water’s edge with the views of Shampoo Island, the Mawlamyine has air-conditioned rooms, TV, fridge and cold water. Owing to the bungalows’ riverside position, an evening invasion of frogs, grasshoppers, moths and friends takes place. But that’s a small price to pay to watch the myriad boats plying the waters, to glimpse the stunning sunset, the curiously children of Moulmein.
The fascinating history of Shampoo Island, which emerged about 2,010 years ago, just before the birth of Lord Buddha. Buddha is believed to have visited the area himself and presented eight hairs to some hermits. These hairs are now enshrined in the eye-catching silver stupa known as Sandawshin (Holy Hair). The ancient kings of Burma and Siam ( and important personages) came to the island to wash their hair before coronation in sacred water obtained from a well (you can still see the well today).

Tokyo: Meiji Jingū – Tsukubai


Image by wallyg
A tsukabai (蹲踞) is a small water basin provided in Japanese Buddhist temples for visitors to purify themselves by the ritual washing of hands and rinsing of the mouth.

Meiji Jingū (明治神宮), or Meiji Shrine, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his consort, Empress Shōken. After the emperor’s death in 1912, the Japanese Diet passed a resolution to commemorate his role in the Meiji Restoration. Construction began in 1915 in the traditional Nagarezukuri style, made primarily of Japanese cypress and copper. Formally dedicated in 1920, completed in 1921 and its grounds officially finished by 1926. Until 1946, the Meiji Shrine was officially designated one of the Kanpei-taisha (官幣大社), meaning that it stood in the first rank of government supported shrines. The original building was destroyed during the Tokyo air raids of World War II, and the current reconstruction was completed in October, 1958.

Emperor Meiji (明治天皇, Meiji-tennō) (born Mutsuhito (睦) in 1852), or Meiji the Great, was the 122nd emperor of Japan according to the traditional order of succession, reigning from 1867 until his death in 1912. He ascended to the throne at the peak of the Meiji Restoration, which restored power the emperor ending Japan’s feudal era. Emperor Meiji married Empress Shōken (昭憲皇后, Shōken kōg), also known as Empress Dowager Shōken (昭憲皇太后, Shōken-kōtaigō), born Ichijō Masako (一条勝子) (1849 – 1914) in 1869. They presided over a time of rapid change in Japan, as the nation rose from an isolated, pre-industrial, feudal shogunate splintered into decentralized domains to become a political, social and industrial world power.

Meiji Shrine is located in a 700,000- square-meter evergreen forest filled with 120,000 trees of 365 different species donated from regions across the entire country. Entry is marked by a massive torri gate, after which the shrine is composed of two major areas. The Naien is the inner precinct, which is centered on the shrine buildings and includes a treasure museum, built in the Azekurazukuri style, that houses articles of the Emperor and Empress. The Gaien is the outer precinct, which includes the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery that houses a collection of 80 large murals illustrative of the events in the lives of the Emperor and his consort. It also includes the Meiji Jingu Stadium, which opened in 1926 and is the home field of the Tokyo Yakult Swallows, and the Meiji Memorial Hall, which was originally used for governmental meetings, including discussions surrounding the drafting of the Meiji Constitution in the late 19th century. Today it is used for Shinto weddings.

Nikkō: Taiyūin-byō – Omizuya


Image by wallyg
The Omizuya (御水舎) or Sacred Fountain or Water House, features a tsukubai where, in accordance with Shintō practice, worshippers would practice ritual purification by rinsing their hands and mouth with the water. The 6.3-meter high, 3.9-meter wide, 3-meter deep house features 12 granite pillars supporting an elaborately colored copper-tiled, Kiritsuma style roof. The ceiling featuring Yasunobu Kano’s 2-meter long Indian Ink drawing of dragon. The dragon reflects in the 120-centimeter wide basin, which is sometimes called the Mizukagamino-ryu, literally the Dragon in the Water Mirror.

Taiyū-in Reibyō (大猷院霊廟), or the Taiyu-in Shrine, administered by Rinnō-ji (輪王寺, enshrines Tokugawa Iemitsu (徳川 家光), the third Tokugawa shogun and grandson of Ieyasu. It was built in 1653 by Masakatsu Heiuchi, the Tokugawa chief carpenter, under the orders of Tokugawa Ietsuna, the fourth Tokugawa shogun. Though it houses many of the same elements as Tōshō-gū Shrine, it is, by design, smaller and more intimate. The buildings of Taiyū-in face Tōshō-gū, indicating Iemitsu’s deep respect for Ieyasu.

Together with Tōshō-gū and Futarasan Jinga, Taiyūin-byō, as part of Rinnō-ji, forms the Shrines and Temples of Nikkō UNESCO World Heritage Site.
