This is where the 47 Ronin of Akō, along with their lord, Asano, are interred. Sengaku-ji is located in Tokyo, near Shinagawa Station.
Oishi Kuranosuke was the chief retainer of the Asano clan during the turmoil associated with the 47 Ronin incident, in which the feudal lord, Asano Naganori, attacked and wounded Kira Yoshinaka within Edo Castle. As drawing a weapon within the shogun's castle was a capital offence, Asano was sentenced to commit seppuku the same day.
As a result of Asano's impulsive behavior, the Shogunate disbanded the Asano clan and seized their lands. Oishi and 46 other former Asano retainers waited and unleashed their misguided revenge on Kira, attacking his home in the dead of night in December 1703, killing his body guards as well as taking his head and placing it in front of Asano's tomb in Sengaku-ji Temple in Takanawa, Tokyo.
All the Akō ronin were sentenced to death by seppuku (harakiri). The loyalty that these guys showed to their foolish lord by committing what can only be described as what me and some of my friends refer to as a feudal "drive-by"- Japanese style, has been lauded by the Japanese public ever since. The facts behind the actual events have been buried in the countless puppet and kabuki plays as well as movies that have been made about this.
I'm not a terribly big fan of Asano Naganori, nor do I think the Akō ronin were particularly "brave" by carrying out a night attack after a party and fighting a small group of drunk bodyguards and taking the head of a feeble old man. But, this perspective is from modern, western eyes. In reality, night attacks of this nature have always been a staple of samurai warfare, being documented since the Heian period. As much as I don't partake in the 47 Ronin Kool Aid drinking parties, I do admit to enjoying watching a good fictional film or kabuki play about these guys.
Oishi Yoshio Kuranosuke (1659-1703) was the chief retainer/adviser (karo) to Ako daimyo Asano Naganori. He is famous for leading a group of forty-seven Ako ronin in a well-planned campaign to get revenge on Kira Yoshinaka. The result is perhaps the most well-known story in Japanese history. Perhaps the most interesting part of the story regarding Oishi was that he actually divorced his wife and disassociated himself from his family. He hung out in areas of ill repute, became a drunk, and associated with prostitutes. He did all this in order to disguise his plan for revenge and dissuade attention from himself--talk about determination.
A man who had spat on Oishi during his destitute days is said to have felt such remorse after hearing of the loyal deed that he came to Oishi's grave to apologize. It is believed he committed seppuku as well. His grave is located on the premises along with the 46 ronin.
This masterpiece of Gothic architecture is one of the finest in England – it’s certainly my favourite of those that I’ve visited. Construction began in 1175 on the site of an earlier cathedral and an even earlier church dating from 705AD. The main part of the cathedral was finished in 1306 although additions continued until the 15th century. In the 14th century, the central pillars were found to be sinking under the weight of the main tower which had been damaged by an earthquake in the previous century. Scissor arches were inserted to brace and stabilise these pillars supporting the tower. These elegant arches form a very unusual, but very beautiful, centre to the cathedral.

The Asantehene, Osei Tutu II, King of Asante.
Sunday 4 October 2009
The Asantehene, surrounded by dozens of retainers, soldiers, and a BBC documentary crew, prepares himself to enter the durbar grounds. He puts on his royal/stoic face.
It was very difficult to get closer to the King. His image and these ceremonies have been a source of (moderate) income for foreign filmmakers and photographers so His Majesty has attempted to control who films him and under which circumstances. Once I'm noticed a security guard brusquely stops me from filming and he shoots me very hateful looks afterward.
The frantic pace, the vivid swirling colors, the blinding sun & gold ornaments, the pounding of drums, the bleating of horns, the press of people, and the fluttering, bobbing canopy umbrellas were truly overwhelming. It was a huge production and yet, incredibly, this was a relatively low-key event by Asante ceremonial standards.

The Rear Garden Retaining Steels & sleepers are well underway to retain the garden & level the grassed are & create the Patio spaces.
Today has had it's sad points, it's frustrating points, and it's epically amazing points. We had to officially cancel SevenTwenty-four Berea. It's a big dissapointment. But, I know that God doesn't make mistakes and He has a plan! Allison and I finished up the headshots for the cast of Beauty and the Beast (which is where this was taken). This evening I booked a concert in like an hour. woo! Epic Score, Courthead! Trust Fall/Nineball, April 3 at LifeSong. Be there! =]
